Dell Children's Medical Center of Central Texas - The World's First LEED Platinum Hospital

Siemens worked with Seton Healthcare to provide the APOGEE building automation system that monitors temperature, pressure and humidity throughout the nearly half million square foot Dell Children's facility. It’s estimated efficiency measures at this hospital save enough power to fuel 18-hundred homes! The hospital contains numerous greenhouse features including motion and natural light sensors that shut off unneeded lights; low flow plumbing throughout; use of local materials, like stone, which saves fuel for shipping; and healing gardens and open courtyards designed to improve both air quality and morale.
