Beyond Green
Healthcare's new sustainability can be found
in tomorrow's trends. Facilities built and
renovated for fl exibility and longevity will
provide a more sustainable infrastructure
that will navigate changes for years to come.
62 Winds of Change
As the impacts of the overall rise in global
temperatures continue to be felt, the number
of areas in the U.S. considered a "harsh"
environment will continue to grow. Sustainable
design in harsh environments creates ef cient
buildings and landscapes that work with
surroundings and are resilient in extreme
weather. Sustainable landscape design is the
fi rst line of defense against harsh elements.
66 Recycle, Reuse
Today's waste diversion ef orts in
healthcare construction save green.
