Invest a day at the "Turning Green into Gold: High Performance & Sustainable Healthcare Facilities" seminar and your return on investment could be immense. The seminar sweeps into Philadelphia on May 3. This seminar focuses on strategies, tactics and technologies that can improve patient care while reducing operating costs in hospitals and medical centers. As one facility manager said, you get good examples of real world applications. You can take what you learn back to the CFO.

"Unfortunately, the traditional way we design and build our healthcare facilities is part of the problem. Green buildings have lower operating costs than conventionally designed buildings. This seminar will show you how to cut energy costs 30% or more" covering everything from the building envelope to HVAC system design to interior lighting strategies. You’ll see how an integrated design approach and solid financial analysis can minimize capital and operating costs "freeing funds to pay for new clinicalequipment, technology, and staffing," says Alan Whitson, seminar leader. "Good design adds value faster than it adds cost," says Whitson.

The seminar is timely in that analysts forecast a big boom in hospital construction - a 46% increase in demand for hospital beds. Coupled with this demand is the replacement construction needed to cope with aging infrastructure on healthcare campuses. The healthcare facilities seminar is part of the popular Turning Green into Gold program given throughout North America. More than 3,000 people registered for Turning Green into Gold over the past two years. Those attending reported more than 140 million sq. ft. in projects in their pipeline.

Coordinating the seminar series is the Corporate Realty, Design & Management Institute and Buildings magazine.

Educational credits are offered or pending with a variety of organizations including AIA, ASHE, ASHES, and IFMA.

Program content is appropriate for healthcare CEOs, administrators, directors, finance executives, facility managers, engineers, architects, designers, construction managers, and environmental services managers.
