The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and the Green Guide for Health Care (GGHC) have entered into an agreement to help green the health care industry by fostering best practices.
Following four years of close collaboration, USGBC and GGHC signed the memorandum of understanding in September to work together on the development of tools, educational programs, and other activities to support green health care building. USGBC and GGHC will develop health care-related resource materials, education and training events; identify a prioritized research agenda; and continue to collaborate on developing future health care-related, green-building tools.
USGBC will administer the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) for Healthcare certification process, and GGHC will continue acting as a change agent and tool developer dedicated to empowering the health delivery industry to take a leadership position in the world of green building and operation. The Green Guide will continue to develop the next generation of GGHC tools. Visit
