Low-VOC (volatile organic compound) adhesives, paints and carpets were used throughout the 500,000ft² hospital to keep indoor air quality high.
Solar shading, high-performance glass and energy transfer wheels have also been fitted.
The hospital also has an on-site power plant, a 4.3MW facility that supplies all of the hospital’s energy needs, independent of the city grid.
Shands is one of just four hospitals in the US to receive the certification.
