Climate change is probably the greatest and most demanding challenge that confronts mankind today. To mitigate global warming to the greatest extent possible, a promising approach is to decouple economic growth from energy usage. Two megatrends, however, make it increasingly difficult to separate economic growth from energy use: demographic change and increasing urbanization. Both have resulted in skyrocketing energy costs, shortages of natural resources, including water and myriad other challenges.

Siemens supports you and prepares you for the future — with Green+ Hospitals. With a variety of levers that lead to sustainable healthcare infrastructure. Because a Green+ Hospital means more than saving energy and lowering emissions. Our Green⁺ Hospitals solutions help you optimize efficiency and increase quality.

Green,
Efficiency,
Quality

- understanding these three elements results in what we consider to be our sustainable solution for healthcare infrastructure. Because sustainability means much more than saving energy and lowering emissions. Quality and efficiency are additional success factors to be taken into account. Being active in just one of the three areas – either ecology, or quality or efficiency – is not sufficient to meet the long-term goals. There certainly are interdependencies, but it is essential to proactively improve each of the three components to maximize the impact.

A Green⁺ Hospital designed by Siemens addresses all of the three success factors comprising products and solutions from different application areas: energy generation and distribution, building automation, IT and communications infrastructure, green IT, and medical technology.
