Receiving the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED®) Silver certification, developed by the U.S. Green Building Council, Hoag Health Center Irvine was awarded for implementing practical and measurable strategies and solutions aimed at achieving high performance in: sustainable site development, water savings, energy efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality.
