ABOUT THE EVENT:
This half-day seminar is designed to promote high-performance, green healthcare facilities in Seattle and the Puget Sound Region. The seminar will feature healthcare executives who are proving that high-performance green buildings are a wise business investment and support strategic business goals. The event will also feature an overview of the Green Guide for Health Care (GGHC), a new high-performance and healthy building initiative developed specifically for health care institutions and facilities. You will also learn from two in-depth case studies of high-performance green healthcare facilities, one GGHC project and one LEED Gold project, each presented by the project team represented by the owner, architect and engineer.
