The health care industry seeks to protect, restore, and enhance health. As a result, it is important for health care organizations to adopt an approach to design, construction, and operations and maintenance that supports a healthy environment, both in their facilities and in their communities. The Roadmap identifies opportunities for health care organization to improve their facility’s sustainability performance for energy, water, waste, supply chain, and chemical management through both facility design and operations. It helps health care organizations develop customized short- and/or long-term management strategies to achieve sustainability goals. Your organization can customize its goals and plans based on your facility’s baselines and benchmarks in sustainability performance and on how aggressively the organization wants to pursue its goals.
