Sunshine Private Hospital is a prime example of how healthcare real estate can be developed in a sustainable and environmentally friendly way. The hospital was designed and built to meet the highest environmental standards, and it features a range of innovative features that reduce its environmental impact. One of the most significant features of Sunshine Private Hospital is its solar power system. The hospital has a 1.2MW solar panel system that generates enough electricity to power the entire hospital. This system reduces the hospital’s reliance on fossil fuels and saves it millions of dollars in energy costs each year. During this session we will hear from Peter Beale who has been primarily involved with this project since its inception.
