Nationwide Children's Hospital Earns LEED Gold
January 25, 2016
The Nationwide Children’s Hospital’s Research Building III in Columbus, Ohio, received LEED Gold Certification.
Factors contributing to the building III receiving LEED certification include:
• A “neighborhood” approach to lab planning was used that facilitates current, collaborative research paradigms and affords occupants views to daylight and nature in two directions
• Advanced technology that senses air quality, increasing and decreasing ventilation as needed. This technology simultaneously saves energy and improves indoor air quality and alone contributed 7 percent to the overall energy savings
• The facility uses nearly 40 percent less water than a comparable laboratory building
