Building a Lasting Impact

Driven by environmental stewardship, the addition to IU Health West Hospital was designed with present and future impact in mind. Through recycling, water and energy management using environmentally-friendly technology, IU Health West Hospital seeks verification by the US Green Building Council (USGBC) as a LEED-certified building.

A LEED-certified healthcare facility improves patient safety and health through improving key environmental performance measurements, including:

Energy savings
Water efficiency
CO2 emissions reduction
Improved indoor environmental quality
Management of resources and sensitivity to their impacts

These sustainable efforts and investments are considered throughout the lifespan of a building from design and construction through maintenance and improvements.
