Sustainability and Healing Design When viewed from the perspective of patient care, many aspects of sustainable design also apply to healing design. LHB’s Healthcare Design Group believes the concepts of Sustainable Design and Healing Design are complimentary components of quality healthcare design. While there are certainly aspects to each of these principles that are independent of one another, many aspects overlap. LHB’s Healthcare Design Group focuses attention where these principles overlap to achieve the greatest impact on the project design and ultimately create environments that are therapeutic, efficient, and restorative. There are measurable benefits to incorporating sustainable design strategies into every project. Fortunately, many aspects of sustainable design are inherent in almost every healthcare project, whether consciously incorporated or merely a response to regulatory or programmatic requirements. By taking advantage of what is already incorporated into a design and linking design decisions to quality and safety outcomes, LHB’s Healthcare Design Group improves the quality of care our clients provide while mitigating the negative impact on the world we live in.
