Sustainability & Healthcare

In recent months, CTG has noticed steadily rising growth in the demand for sustainability services in the Healthcare sector, and in response the firm is adding capacity to support new projects. CTG has hired new staff to provide support for a growing portfolio of healthcare assignments, and we are now better positioned to provide healthcare clients with a broad range of services, including:

• sustainability consulting


• energy master planning


• green operations and maintenance


• commissioning


• climate change planning


• green building certification support

CTG is currently engaged in several major healthcare and research laboratory projects, and this experience has provided the firm with deep insight into the industry. We are aware that hospital and clinic owners and operators are under increasing pressure to control costs and develop competitive advantages. Many are embracing sustainability as a way to build and maintain more efficient facilities. Industry-wide efforts, such as the development of the Green Guide for Health Care and the adaptation of the LEED rating system from the US Green Building Council to include a new LEED for Healthcare system, have helped direct the focus towards green alternatives.

Many healthcare providers are pursuing sustainability programs because government requirements are growing, and pursuing sustainability is viewed as an important risk management strategy. Some are interested in the cost savings realized through increased efficiency and lower utility bills. Still others view it as a logical extension of their core missions – green buildings are inherently healthier than their counterparts, so they recognize the value of treating patients in a sustainable facility.

As part of the services expansion, we are reaching out to industry contacts, setting up strategy sessions, hosting sustainability workshops, and providing gap assessment reports to help clients determine the appropriate path to sustainability. We are also eagerly anticipating the official launch of the LEED for Healthcare Rating System, and stand ready to help clients evaluate options for sustainability and pursue certification. If you have any questions about CTG’s expansion in the Healthcare sector, please feel free to contact us at 949-790-0010.
