The Promise Project design will support GBMC’s sustainability program with the use of LED lighting systems and innovative motion sensors and smart outlets to control energy use. The atrium will provide abundant natural light during daytime hours, reducing the need for traditional electrical lighting 24 hours a day. The Building skin will have high insulation values saving on heat in the winter and the glass will have special coatings to cut down solar gain in the summer. The Project will include additional landscaping and garden features that will improve the environment and it will utilize the Cogeneration project that will enable GBMC to repurpose wasted heat from the plant, then using that heat for utilities, reducing the overall utility need at GBMC. There are also new high efficiency chillers installed to reduce harmful emissions.John Chessare MDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16921654505743608351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-597716632228519200.post-15011935636889476492021-02-01T12:47:40.764-08:002021-02-01T12:47:40.764-08:00Wonderful project to look forward to.

I wonder if there are measures that GBMC could take to make this new building less taxing on the environment as well as saving the establishment itself resources energy and money. It would be nice to see the indoor plants continue and more newly developed ecologically compatible architecture put into practice, especially as a leading facility of health.
