Healthcare Decarbonization and Design: Yes, Your Facility Can Win

Healthcare facilities are among the largest carbon emitters in the built environment — and the engineers, architects, and facility managers who design and operate them are best placed to drive change. This webinar is about the work itself: how to decarbonize healthcare buildings, what makes a genuinely great healthcare facility, and how to document and communicate that work on a global stage. Along the way, you’ll learn how to participate in two of IFHE’s flagship recognition programs — the IFHE Global Carbon Challenge (“Cut the Carbs”) and the 2026 IFHE International Building Award — and, in the case of the Carbon Challenge, can take less than ten minutes to enter all your facilities. You’ll also hear from leaders at the forefront of healthcare decarbonization. Awards will be presented at the 29th IFHE World Congress, October 17–20, 2026, in New Orleans, Louisiana.
