CM13A8 - Leed For Healthcare: Inspiring High Performance Healing Environments A Panel Discussion: US Green Building Council, Seton Healthcare Family
In recent years the healthcare industry has come a long way in defining the goals of sustainability that can be embraced to improve the effectiveness and performance of the healthcare delivery system. The dynamic session format will include an overview of LEED for Healthcare, its uptake in the marketplace since its launch in 2011, and its evolution as part of the LEED v4 anticipated release in June 2013. As the first LEED Platinum-certified hospital in the world, Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas provides a compelling case study of how a commitment to effective, environmentally inspired design and operations has catalyzed a culture of continuous improvement. Its new 75,000 sq. ft. patient bed tower addition positions Dell Children's as a pioneer in applying LEED for Healthcare and provides valuable insight in how LEED for Healthcare as a health-based rating system informs design strategies and materials specifications that contribute to a high performing healing environment.
