🏥 14 Government Hospitals in Malaysia Advance Toward LEED E+BOM Green Building Certification
Category: Green Building | Government Healthcare | LEED Certification | Sustainability in Malaysia
Driving Operational Sustainability Across Malaysia’s Public Healthcare Sector
In a bold step toward sustainable healthcare infrastructure, 14 government hospitals across three regions in Malaysia are actively pursuing LEED E+BOM certification—a globally recognized standard for green building operations and maintenance. This initiative marks a major milestone in Malaysia’s commitment to reducing the environmental footprint of public facilities.
To lead this transformation, Blue Snow Consulting and Engineering has been appointed to assess the existing hospital facilities, ensuring they meet the rigorous standards of the LEED for Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance (LEED E+BOM) framework. The consultancy’s role includes conducting comprehensive GAP analyses to evaluate and enhance building performance, energy efficiency, and overall sustainability.
🔍 About LEED E+BOM Certification
LEED E+BOM (Existing Buildings: Operations & Maintenance) is a certification under the LEED Green Building Rating System by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC). It focuses on sustainable practices in the day-to-day operations of existing buildings, with key metrics in energy use, water conservation, indoor environmental quality, and maintenance protocols.
By adopting LEED E+BOM strategies, these government hospitals are positioned to:
- Enhance energy and water efficiency
- Reduce operational costs
- Improve patient and staff health
- Minimize environmental impact
