The healthcare sector is responsible for 7% of carbon emissions in Australia & 4.4% emissions globally. Furthermore, Hospitals and medical centres are amongst some of the heaviest polluters in the world, producing massive amounts of single-use waste and toxic emissions. Hospitals are not typically new buildings and for them to become net-zero it can be quite a challenge. In this case study, we look at how innovation, the design and build of modern hospitals is transforming the industry by allowing them to become net-zero emitters.  

• How we developed a green star rating for hospitals? 
• Achieving a net-zero outcome by working with the right architect to deliver on the design and vision. 
• How do you convince the board to go on the net zero journey? 
• Developing a Sustainability Committee to set the vision and ensure accountability to the end goal 
• Examining the importance of offsetting and other approaches to realise true net-zero outcomes?
