Description
The green building movement has become mainstream and healthcare institutions are increasingly putting sustainability at the top of their agenda. Multiple green building rating systems abound, covering nearly every hospital operation — from energy conservation to waste reduction to new building construction. Are these rating systems mutually exclusive or complimentary? How does one choose between them? This session enables attendees to:
•Differentiate between the four green building rating systems commonly used in healthcare.
•Discuss the scope of the rating systems, synergies between them, participation rates, and the certification process.
•Describe the associated costs of this process.
