title: Reducing the strain on an 'overloaded' grid.
abstract: Secure and reliable power is critical for any hospital or healthcare building. However, according to global energy management specialist Schneider lectric, with the closure of electrical generation and nuclear plants becoming a real threat, there will be a reduction in the spare capacity of energy. Considering how hospitals might react to such a threat, Rachel Cooper, an energy consultant at the company, examines the potential benefits to healthcare facilities of "demand response".
