Description
With the onset of “green” codes planned to be enforced by local jurisdictions on a state-by-state basis, this session will provide a basic comparison of sustainability guidelines versus anticipated sustainability codes that will soon impact the health care marketplace. The presenters will address how local regulation will affect the use of building rating systems and illustrate how such systems will influence the design, construction, and commissioning of health care environments. This session will enable you to:
● Estimate the immediate impact on health facility design and construction when green building codes are adopted.
● Discuss IGCC and ASHRAE 189.2 and their impact on health care design and construction.
● Explain the difference between the green requirements of LEED-HC, Green Globes CIEB Healthcare, the FGI Guidelines, and the Senior Living Sustainability Guide.
● Access relevant references and resources on sustainability codes and guidelines that affect health facility design and construction.
● Estimate the immediate impact on health facility design and construction when green building codes are adopted.
