Stamford Hospital’s new building's sustainable features are key to keeping costs down and creating a healthier and more welcoming experience for patients, according to an article on the Stamford Advocate website.
Designing the Stamford, Conn., hospital’s $450 million headquarters offered the opportunity to design a campus that would improve on the environmental efficiency of the old building.
for instance, terracotta panels cover the lower part of the facility. The terracotta does not trap and transfer heat into the building.
Plus, the new building’s control system turns down the lights on patient floors at night to create a restful ambiance and use less energy.
