Temperate, well-conditioned and well-controlled spaces and systems that are fine-tuned and efficient are critical to the comfort and care of your patients and comfort and productivity of the staff who use your healthcare facilities. The need for cost control and effective use of resources has also made sustainability and resilience considerations a high priority for new and expanded or renovated buildings. We understand these factors, and our goal is to help you achieve an invisible level of efficiency and comfort inside your facilities that complements the visible beauty of their design.
Hanson has a long history of working with healthcare clients from Florida to the Midwest. We partner with your facilities teams to assist in meeting the demands of this dynamic and ever-evolving industry. Sustainability is at the core of our practice, helping you to reduce energy usage and move toward carbon neutrality, which helps decrease your operational costs. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory studies have shown the benefits of retro-commissioning for large commercial buildings, and it is just one of the services we can provide to help you see results. As highlighted in the ASHE paper on Energy to Care, retro-commissioning “prioritizes low capital, quick payback changes. …, identifies opportunities where repairing or replacing equipment would lead to substantial savings on utility bills and increases reliability and building compliance, while reducing energy cost.”
The benefits of an energy-efficient facility include cost control, sustainability and a pleasant environment for your tenants. Our skilled team can help you determine the right services for your space so you can reach your efficiency goals.
Whether your building is a hospital, a clinic, a hospice or medical research or public-health facility, our involvement extends from the initial facilities and systems planning through post-construction support. Our team also understands the special resources needed to increase the operating efficiency of helipads, parking garages, office space and building connectors. We are committed to meeting your specific needs, such as:
“As civil engineers, we are the architects of progress, transforming visions into reality and building a sustainable future one structure at a time.”
“The work I do at Hanson allows me to help people: the people I work with at Hanson, the clients we partner with across the U.S., and, most importantly, the communities in which we live and serve.”
Hanson’s video series features interviews with top experts and leaders in the fields of energy, sustainability and resilience about the latest trends and key issues.
We know you need the basics when it comes to your facility’s mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire protection requirements, but you also want the sustainability elements that will help reduce your energy costs and maintenance while being a friend to the environment.
