Design Restorative
Building, Biophilia, Enhanced Air Quality and High Performance
Building Systems for Healthcare Facilities
 Design,
restorative building, biophilia, enhanced air quality and high
performance building systems.
Written by leading national experts on the
subject -- one of whom was recognized by Time magazine as a green
innovator -- Sustainable Healthcare Architecture is the key
guide to designing sustainable healthcare facilities.
Building on the authors combined knowledge and
experience, this book includes case studies of more than 50 of the
best contemporary sustainable healthcare projects.
The book also contains numerous essays
contributed by other leaders in sustainable design and healthcare.
Additionally, the authors provide background information on LEED for
Healthcare, as well as on the Green Guide for Health Care, which
they were instrumental in developing.
"This book is a key reference for the design of
sustainable health-care facilities." (ENR.com, 2/08)
"Written by an architect focused on
sustainable health-care design and an expert in green innovation,
this book is a key reference for the design of sustainable
health-care facilities." (ENR.com; 1/3/08)
"This is a very important book. The authors
document a change in the profession that is as remarkable as it is
swift-paced, because they present eloquent examples of sustainable
architecture thriving in environments where it has the potential to
do users the most good. Equally important, the book embodies the
integrated, collaborative practice that makes green architecture
possible, both in the presentation of the buildings and the book
itself. Sustainable Healthcare Architecture is well
documented, well written, well indexed, and well edited. It’s also
well illustrated, albeit in black and white, and with its 16-page
four-color signature as a visual treat..." (AIArchitect,
