ASHRAE/ASHE 189.3P:2017

This proposed standard addresses the sustainability of healthcare facilities as a document paralleling, yet distinct from, ASHRAE/USGBC/IES Standard 189.1, Standard for the Design of High-Performance Green Buildings. Healthcare facilities have a keen interest and, in many cases, the desire to develop in a sustainable manner. These facilities are often the largest and most energy intensive buildings in a community, and their leadership recognizes that saving energy and operating costs are an opportunity to reflect smart decision-making, care and stewardship of the environment and fiscal practicality.
