Sustainable hospitals – the green check for better health and profitability
Large hospital compounds host tens of thousands of employees, vehicles and buildings. Systems for energy provision, waste and water, transport and indoor climate are all crucial to the smooth functioning of a modern hospital. The potential gains from sustainable hospital construction are monetary and environmental – including increased flexibility, self-sufficiency and improved energy efficiency.
