News Brief
New Green Heathcare Guide Released
The recent release of
Green Guide for Healthcare (GGHC) version 2.2 marks the end of a successful pilot program that included 115 healthcare facilities across the country (see
EBN
Vol. 14, No. 1). Improvements to GGHC, a point-based guide to green building for the healthcare industry, were based on feedback from project teams participating in the pilot program and include a more comprehensive credit checklist for water efficiency, more attention to creating “indoor places of respite” for patients, and an expansion of the guide’s recommendations for mercury elimination. GGHC is available for free download online at www.gghc.org. For more information about GGHC and green healthcare facilities, see EBN
