Energy Consumption
Practice Manager and owner Kate Simpson signed up Sugarloaf Animal Hospital to Energy Hunter in 2013, with a view to:
-
Gain a better understanding of energy consumption patterns to identify energy saving opportunities and reduce power usage.
-
Determine the merits of various energy efficiency programmes and incorporate the best ideas.
-
Working with the Energy Hunter team, Kate succeeded in reducing energy consumption through educating her team to create beneficial behavioural change. Simple things like placing a sign next to the light switch that asks: “Do you need me on?” Ensuring high-energy equipment is turned off when not in use.
Our mission doesn’t end at providing the best possible veternary care…
The Sugarloaf Animal Hospital has been serving the people and animals of the Hunter region, and especially Newcastle and Lake Macquarie, for more than 20 years.
Sugarloaf also have deep and passionate convictions when it comes to our natural environment. That is why we have committed to decreasing our electricity consumption, installing solar hot water and photovoltaic cells, and engaging in environmentally-friendly waste management, including recycling.
Kate’s latest project is to convert Sugarloaf Animal Hospital to a paper-free workplace.
