dc.description.abstractUsing a novel set of Global Warming Potential (GWP) data for hospitals in Switzerland, we estimate the environmental efficiency by stochastic frontier analysis and data envelopment analysis for the hospitals overall and 14 specific hospital areas. We find median efficiency of hospitals of at most 53.4 percent. The improvement potential for the Swiss acute care hospitals is estimated to be 136’669 t CO2-eq based on a GWP weighted mean environmental efficiency of 69.3 over all hospitals. The areas with the highest potential are heating and electricity: a one percent increase in efficiency would reduce overall GWP by 0.60 and 0.58 percent, respectively.de_CH
