White Paper Shows How to Achieve LEED Criteria With Green Design

摘要

Environmental Health & Engineering's (EH&E) new white paper, "LEEDing the Way With Green Design at Brigham and Women's Hospital," details how when planning for a new facility, the hospital and EH&E were able to balance clinical needs with a sustainable environment while achieving a 20% energy consumption reduction, all in accordance with leadership in energy and environmental design (LEED) criteria. EH&E reports that the greatest challenge in achieving LEED goals is maintaining strict clinical requirements while meeting the aggressive construction schedule for a state-of-the-art medical building.
