With the extreme heat this week, Cooper’s Facilities Department is taking proactive steps to support a comfortable environment across the enterprise, including hospital and ambulatory locations.
The Facilities team is actively monitoring systems and has preparations in place to help minimize any heat-related impacts on operations. Readiness measures include:
- Temperature adjustments in non-clinical areas to ease demand on HVAC systems.
- Pre-checks on all critical cooling infrastructure, including chillers, air handlers, and backup power systems.
- Portable cooling units onsite and ready for deployment.
- Vendor partners on standby to assist with urgent service needs.
How you can help:
We appreciate everyone’s partnership in helping reduce energy use. Simple steps like turning off lights in unoccupied spaces, shutting down unused equipment, and keeping doors to temperature-controlled rooms closed can make a meaningful difference.
