There's a building in Mountain View, California, where energy-saving technologies of the future are being tried on for size. Step inside, and the first thing you notice is the building is dead quiet — no noisy air whooshing through louvers.

Healthcare Design
If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. That's one of the lessons gleaned from projects that healthcare organizations launched over the past decade to achieve some major sustainable design goals.
Some had their eyes on never-before-seen levels of energy efficiency, while others introduced unfamiliar systems as part of a new facility design. In several cases, these projects didn't hit their anticipated marks when they first opened their doors.
