URIBE, D. F  and  ARBOLEDA, A.F. SPECIALIZED CENTERS OF SAN VICENTE FUNDACIÓN: LEED-CERTIFIED GREEN HOSPITAL. Rev. ing. biomed. [online]. 2015, vol.9, n.18, pp.51-56. ISSN 1909-9762.

With increasing global awareness about the environment and the development of models of certification and evaluation of so-called green buildings, aimed at self-sustainability, San Vicente Fundación, with the construction of specialized centers, sought to be, along with a building automation and control with energy consumption, the first green hospital in Colombia. Thus it reached LEED silver category. This certification, where projects registered voluntarily, is a measure of the performance of the building in areas such as environmental impact, resource consumption, and innovation. This article describes some aspects of the technologies implemented to develop specialized centers as a green hospital and in turn, the LEED certification.
