new state-of-the-art, full-service hospital will include
a 24-hour Level III Trauma Center Emergency Department,
as well as cardiac, medical/surgical, women’s and
children’s, diagnostic, and rehabilitation services.
It will open with 148 beds and include space for expansion
to 256 to meet future needs. The hospital will be as green
as it is modern. In keeping with the owner’s wishes,
the building is registered in U.S. Green Building Council
for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®)
program and is designed to achieve the Silver rating.
Some of its energy-saving or eco-friendly features include:
premium efficiency motors for the MEP equipment; air-to-air
heat recovery systems for the make-up air systems serving
the labs, sterile processing, kitchen and operating suites;
CO2 monitoring; sensor-operated faucets; use of environmentally
friendly refrigerants, adhesives, and sealants; and occupancy
sensors and daylighting controls for lighting.The mechanical
and electrical equipment employs variable frequency drives
(VFDs) to accommodate fluctuating demand and provide optimum
energy efficiency.
