IEA defines energy intensity as the amount of primary energy used to produce a given amount of economic output. It is the key global indicator to track energy efficiency- which is technically the rate of change in primary energy intensity.

Owensboro Health Regional Hospital has earned its fifth Energy Star certification, with officials saying OH has saved more than $4.5 million over the last decade due to energy efficiency practices. According to a release from OH, participating healthcare facilities strive to obtain the Energy Star recognition threshold of 75 or higher. Owensboro Health Regional Hospital scored 77, meaning its Energy Use Index (EUI) is better than 77% of hospitals in the country. Only two other hospitals in Kentucky have been Energy Star recipients longer than Owensboro Health.
