Medical Center’s Port St. John Health Center and
Nature Preserve is the first health care facility in Florida
to achieve certification in the U.S. Green Building Council
Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®)
green building program. The building achieved LEED Silver
certification. Port St. John offers a healing environment
in every sense of the word, thanks to environmentally
sensitive planning and design. The water-efficient, energy-efficient
building sits amid four acres that have been set aside
permanently as a nature preserve complete with walking
trails.TLC worked closely with the design team and sustainable
design consultant to provide efficient and cost-effective
MEP and energy modeling services. Annually, the building
is expected to realize an 18% savings in energy use and
a 31% savings in water use over a typical non-LEED building.
In addition, 63% of waste materials were recycled rather
than ending up in a landfill. |
