Energy, Sustainability, and the Island Hospital Concept
Description

Hospitals are facing increasingly severe implications from climate change, rising energy costs, and grid disruptions. This session introduces the “Island Hospital” concept—facilities designed for energy independence without diesel backup. Panelists will discuss clean energy solutions, code compliance, and practical implementation from the perspectives of microgrid developers and clinicians. Attendees will learn how we can design resilient, sustainable healthcare facilities that ensure reliable care delivery while reducing environmental impact.
