Introduction and need for study Green building principles are revolutionizing
building practices and are emerging as a response to
growing concern over pollution and environmental
damage, increasing awareness and acceptance of climate
change, decreasing resources, increasing cost of energy
and increasing demand for sustainability in building
design and construction..

Hospitals should be leading the way in providing

patients, experience. Sick people should have the
greenest buildings of all. Hospitals are also particularly
complex and provide unique building challenges
healthcare facilities are most often multiple-building
campuses of varying ages, conditions, and systems, and
construction frequently occurs adjacent to occupied
buildings. Healthcare sector, through its consumption of
a large number of resources, construction and operation
of large and small, but complex establishments
employment of sophisticated energy-intensive
technologies and generation of an carry of wastes, has
itself become a public concern.
 Office of the Federal Environmental Executive
defines as

"the practice of increasing the efficiency with which

buildings and their sites use energy, water, and reducing
building impacts on human health and the environment,
through better sitting, design construction, operation,
maintenance, and removal-the complete building life
cycle".

Review of literature

This study aims to understand the basics of green

hospitals, their various functions, the need to implement
these ideas in hospitals rendering them environment and
patient friendly, to identify the factors that affect the
quality of green hospital design and to inform future
green hospital designs. This article is going to discuss
environmental, economic, health and community
benefits of sustainability in the healthcare industry.

By observing various green hospital's data, these

strategies reduce buildings' operating costs by 8.9%,
increase building value by 7.5%, a 6.6% return on
investment, increase occupancy ratio by 3.5 %. The
relationship between improved indoor air quality and
positive health impacts on illness, including asthma, flu,
sick building syndrome, respiratory problems and
headaches, the improvements ranged from 13.5 to 87%

Healthcare facilities in India and around the world

are paving the way and we can say that high quality
patient care and

Environmentally sustainable health facilities are not

mutually exclusive and that "Green Hospital" is not just
a concept but reality worth emulating
Objectives * To improve energy efficiency and switching to
renewable energy like Efficiently using energy, water
and other

* Photovoltaic technology resources.

* Protecting occupant health and improving employee

productivity.

* Reducing waste, pollution and environment

degradation.

Methodology A systematic search was conducted to understand the

broad issues of climate change, green hospitals and
environmental sustainability. Information from green
hospitals that are presently operating in India and abroad
were collected and compiledto know the impact of
implementing such measures in the economy of the
hospital, recovery time of the patients and saving
environment. Important reports and articles were
collected in full text for further reference.
Implications Knowledge gained will help the students for the early
identification and prevent text neck syndrome.
