Uplift: A Podcast about the Transformative Power of Design

Hospitals and healthcare buildings are some of the most resource-intensive on the planet. On average, they use twice the energy of most other building types. Luckily, energy-efficient design strategies paired with legislation regulating carbon emissions are helping hospitals lower their energy use, without compromising patient care or experience. On this episode, we're joined by Dr. Jonathan Slutzman, MD, Medical Director for Environmental Sustainability at Massachusetts General Hospital, and NBBJ's Tom Sieniewicz. We’ll discuss net zero and electric hospitals, advancements in sustainability for large medical centers, and strategies for hospitals to lower their energy use and achieve groundbreaking performance.
