WEB20-2211 - High Impact - High Performance Building Design

Description

The best time to initiate many sustainability initiatives is during the design process. A project that is planned with sustainability in mind is naturally going to get better results than if sustainability projects are tacked on afterward. Planning for energy savings during early design helps ensure that sustainability is top of mind. This session is a panel discussion on high performance building design discussing design features of some of the most energy efficient health care facilities across the country.

Learning Objectives:

• Identify current design considerations for high performance design of Health Care facilities
  
• Discuss energy efficient design goals that provide results
• Illustrate how quality control during the design and construction process can generate successful results
• Demonstrate how the patient experience can be enhanced through sustainable building design considerations
