SUMMARY:E99 &#8211\; All-Electric Healthcare Facilities: Lessons from the MD Anderson Cancer Center
DESCRIPTION:Healthcare systems face pressure to reduce carbon emissions without compromising patient care\, yet few pursue fully electric facilities. This session shares lessons from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Sugar Land campus\, demonstrating how all-electric design can support healthcare decarbonization while maintaining resilience\, patient-centered care\, and long-term financial performance. \nMD Anderson challenged the design team to deliver a net-zero-ready facility aligned with its clinical mission\, extending the principle of “first\, do no harm” to the built environment. Attendees will learn how this directive shaped envelope performance\, system selection\, and operational strategies to reduced emissions while enhancing both patient care and functionality.\nThe session also explores the business case for electrification\, including lifecycle cost analysis\, grid-emissions forecasting\, risk reduction\, and available incentives. It concludes with lessons on resilience\, addressing grid reliability and climate-driven risks relevant to future healthcare projects.
