In response to growing concerns of climate change, leading healthcare institutions are beginning to ask for designs that consume dramatically less energy than the national average. Gain insight on two hospitals that are pushing the edge of energy performance and carbon reduction in healthcare design. Learn how the design teams approached the challenge and the tradeoffs they made to meet their goals. This session will enable attendees to:
•Assess energy performance design strategies and determine how they can be integrated into the design.
•Evaluate financial and environmental impacts of current and innovative technologies.
•State the design principles of carbon reduction from high performance hospitals.
