What is ‘green’ building? How does it relate to a healthcare facility and how can it affect your agency’s bottom line? It takes commitment, focus, achievable goals and a willingness to change the way you do business to reap the benefits of developing a healthier building for patients, staff and the planet. This session focuses on the sustainable building strategies used to develop a LEED Silver certified office building and 16 bed in-patient unit.
