Hospitals are structures
where the use of energy and resources that affect both the environment and
human health are intense. In particular, the health sector accounts for about
25% of the total carbon emissions of the community by itself and produces large
quantities of toxic, harmful substances and contaminated water. Thinking of
bringing hospitals out of this situation and making them more beneficial to the
environment and human health have provided the emergence of the green hospital
concept. In other words, the green hospital has referred to hospitals that use
less energy, produce less waste, use more recyclable materials and become
healthier organisations on this count. As green hospitals become widespread
throughout the world, knowing how hospitals meet the requirements for green
hospital has led to the emergence of green hospital certification systems. These
certification systems assess hospitals in various areas and score points and
certify to hospitals at different levels according to their scores. Hospitals
having these certifications gain better patient outcomes, patient / employee
safety and satisfaction, cost savings and productivity increase. In this
respect, this study will focus on BREEAM for Healthcare, LEED for Healthcare,
and Australian Green Star certification systems that are the most commonly used
green hospital certification systems worldwide.
