Project Detail |
Construction and operation of outpatient medical facilities consisting of a healthcare clinic, a Program of All-Inclusive Care for the Elderly (PACE) facility and a pharmacy, which will be built using energy- and water-efficient equipment and will incorporate sustainable construction techniques and thermally efficient construction materials. Increased access to healthcare services for a socioeconomically disadvantaged population vulnerable to health issues related to extreme heat and other related environmental hazards. In comparison with international standards for a conventional building with similar operational characteristics, the facilities are expected to use about 43% less water, equivalent to 286,399 gallons/year, and about 25% less electricity, which represents a savings of 262,235 kilowatthours/year. The energy savings will help displace approximately 59,951 kg/year of CO2 and 101.8 kg/year of NOx. |
