Smart greening initiatives for healthcare facilities: A caribbean case study on environmental sustainability and disaster resilience

The Smart Hospitals Program achieved significant reductions in water and energy consumption, demonstrating the potential of targeted retrofitting interventions to enhance sustainability and resilience in healthcare facilities. While the results highlight the program's effectiveness, maintenance challenges and variability in usage patterns underscore the need for ongoing monitoring and tailored strategies to sustain these gains. This model provides valuable insights for similar initiatives in resource-constrained and disaster-prone regions.

Abstract

The Smart Hospitals Program achieved significant reductions in water and energy consumption, demonstrating the potential of targeted retrofitting interventions to enhance sustainability and resilience in healthcare facilities. While the results highlight the program's effectiveness, maintenance challenges and variability in usage patterns underscore the need for ongoing monitoring and tailored strategies to sustain these gains. This model provides valuable insights for similar initiatives in resource-constrained and disaster-prone regions.
