Building a LEED TM Silver Rated High Performance Replacement Hospital on Martha’s Vineyard
Beyond budgets, profits and market share, many healthcare providers are placing greater emphasis on sustainable design strategies. Martha's Vineyard Hospital is amongst a handful of hospitals nation-wide that are in the process of building a replacement hospital that is seeking LEED™ Silver Certification.
This project includes many standard green elements, such as designated space for recycling; preferred parking for hybrid vehicles; bicycle storage and changing rooms; and water conserving plumbing fixtures. Unique to the project is the fact it's being built on an environmentally sensitive site. Initial site work involved a technique called vibro compaction, which was complicated by the fact the hospital is surrounded by residents. No light trespass is a key factor in our LEED™ program, and will minimize light pollution in the adjacent neighborhood. This new hospital will include a solar photovoltaic electric system, a green roof terrace, and a system for capturing roof rainwater for irrigation.

SESSION 2 Monday 10:00 am - 10:45 am
Optimizing project outcomes in pre-design using life-cycle analysis
Life-cycle planning. Up-front project development. Value Management decisions. The optimum plan for your capital construction project will cost-effectively integrate multiple, complex relationships between healthcare professionals, patients, technology, administrative support, financial return, and marketplace forces and constraints. Here, Robert Blakey details how that is done with an up-front pre-design planning process structured around life-cycle analysis methods that deliver optimal, cost-effective solutions. He uses one of Cornell’s latest science building projects to demonstrate how this planning approach impacts project team thinking, communications, consensus building, assessment and control of risk, budget development, selection of project components, and management of outcomes.

Greening of Healthcare Facilities: A Case Study
Hospitals present unique challenges to implementing sustainable design practices. Unlike typical commercial buildings, life saving, critical care facilities are energy intensive, open 24 hours-a-day, 7 days a week, and 365 days-a-year. Common sustainable design options employed in other types of facilities are often incompatible with the effective delivery of medical care or infection control requirements within the hospital. Input from multiple, diverse stakeholders must be considered. However, focused efforts that balance sustainability goals with thoughtful design and effective operations can significantly reduce environmental impacts while ensuring the core mission of the facility and maintaining a realistic budget. We will show through our experience with a new 350,000 SF critical care facility what specific functional, operational and financial considerations facility managers need to apply when evaluating options for green healthcare facilities.

Call a Doctor to Diagnose Your Master Plan
A consistent problem in strategic/master planning is identifying the proper physician support to achieve both general medical staff buy-in and necessary physician operational level direction. Organizations have made various attempts to gain needed "clinical" input, but the new wave of physician executives provides a previously untapped resource for builders, developers and architects. Adding a physician to your team can make your next building project run more efficiently, increase the chances of it being delivered on time and help decrease costly and frustrating change orders. Ultimately, you will also have happier end users and healthier patients.

Hospital Energy Use and Sustainability: What can a Manager do?
Buildings consume 38.5% of all US energy, and hospitals are a major factor in this consumption. It is generally practical and feasible to reduce building energy consumption by one third. Thus, facility managers who practice sustained Energy Management can potentially save 13% of all energy used in the U.S. ENERGY MANAGEMENT IS A TRULY SUSTAINABLE ACTIVITY. Using basic management techniques, healthcare plant operations managers can significantly improve the efficiency of most hospitals, and can maintain a high level of efficiency in the few that are actually efficient. This presentation includes case studies and examples.

Leveraging Energy Savings to Finance Capital Improvements
Energy saving strategies for the healthcare environment often times are difficult because of the critical environment and the requirement to meet current health and building codes. This case study will detail the specific solution that Odessa Memorial Hospital, an acute care facility, implemented as a response to rising energy costs and the lasting results. Odessa will also share how they leveraged the energy savings project to transform their aging facility into a state-of-the-art facility. Furthermore, throughout the entire project Odessa was able to remain open and maintain a high level of care for their patients. In addition to saving energy, the project that was implemented was equivalent of removing 33 cars from the road, or planting 68 acres of trees.

ICRA (Infection Control Risk Assessment) During and After Construction
Infection and contamination control is one of the most critical issues facing hospitals today. This presentation by a healthcare architect and a facilities manager of a major healthcare institution will demonstrate how utilization of the ICRA (Infection Control Risk Assessment) can help hospitals meet this challenge during and after construction. It will cover the history and development of national ICRA guidelines as well as practical tools and procedures utilized during the implementation of complex requirements. Attendees will learn to: Identify elements of ICRA program to assist communication with consultants, contractors and staff; Recognize common pitfalls and potential change requests related to the ICRA requirements; Develop checklist for construction projects on a healthcare campus.

LEED® Cost Analysis for Healthcare and Laboratories
The presentation will provide a brief LEED® overview so that all attendees understand the basic LEED® cost principles. This base will be developed into an understanding of the various LEED® cost impacts on LEED® rated facilities. The seminar will show how the cost of LEED® credits vary and how to select credits regarding first cost, annual savings, years of payback, and relative sustainability. LEED® credits vary from $10,000 savings to an additional cost of $250,000. The system that we will use is EarlyEco costing, developed by the presenter. An interactive portion of the seminar will use the attendee information to develop a deeper knowledge of the synergistic nature of LEED® costing. The interactive portion of the presentation will use IFMA member input parameters for a typical costing project. The seminar will illustrate the different levels of LEED®; Certified, Silver, Gold and Platinum and their costs and years of payback. The LEED® process of project costing at the initial project phase will be described from a point of view of the typical interactive design team as they meet real time problems. The information will also include how to budgeting for a LEED® building is analyzed and tracked over the schematic, design development and construction documents portion of the design process. The interactive portion of the presentation will lead into a question and answer session. Each attendee will receive a typical EarlyEco© printout.
