Energy Efficiency

Atlantic Health System has invested in energy efficiency measures throughout its locations. Morristown Medical Center has transitioned over to energy efficient lamps and LED light bulbs.

The sensors trigger lights to come on and stay on while the rooms are in use, but they prevent lights from having to be on unnecessarily resulting in significant energy savings.
