This project investigates low-carbon design trends in BC lower mainland health care facilities by creating a usable database of energy systems and performance metrics. Using energy models and utility data from various projects, it compares energy performance and links it to design choices for building envelopes and mechanical systems. The database tracks emerging trends, provides a baseline for setting energy metric targets, and identifies gaps in current energy model reporting.
