USGBC South Florida Chapter

Emerging Professionals David C. Truong, Chair

PO Box 612934 Miami, FL 33261

REQUEST FOR PROPOSALS Sustainable healthcare design is increasingly seen as a logical extension of a healthcare organization’s mission to care for people—to “First Do No Harm.” At the most immediate level, sustainable design is about providing an enhanced healing environment focused on stress reduction, safety and high indoor environmental quality for patients, their care providers, and families. The U.S. Green Building Council – South & Central Florida Chapters’ Emerging Professionals Committees are seeking entries for their 2015 Natural Talent Design Competition (NTDC). This year’s NTDC will focus on the LEEDv4 for Healthcare rating system. Successful proposals ultimately will support a national movement for designing healthcare facilities that not only heal humans, but also the environment around them. This Competition provides an applied learning experience in the principles of integrated design, sustainability, innovation, and social consciousness, all of which are components of the LEED® Green Building Rating System TM. This Competition is directed toward the notion that a sustainable future must incorporate the sustainable design of structures of every type. The challenge exists in identifying how the planned structures within our cities can prove to have the greatest potential.

RFP No.: NTDC2015 RFP Name: USGBC South Florida Chapter – Natural Talent Design Competition 2015 Due Dates: June 13th (Notice to Compete) & September 4th (Final Proposal)

A full proposal will consist of a 30% conceptual design for a new medical office building for Baptist Health South Florida, located in Pinecrest, FL, presented in a 20-page report including drawings and renderings as well as a digital board of the proposed design summarizing its concepts and innovative strategies. A complete Request for Proposals document and forms may be found at www.usgbcsf.org/ep/ntdc.

BACKGROUND ON THE U.S. GREEN BUILDING COUNCIL The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) and its community are changing the way buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated. USGBC is committed to a prosperous and sustainable future through cost-efficient and energy-saving green buildings. USGBC works towards its mission of market transformation through its LEED green building rating system, robust education offerings, a nationwide network of chapters and affiliates, and the annual Greenbuild International Conference & Expo. USGBC is a diverse group of builders and environmentalists, corporations and nonprofits, teachers and students, lawmakers and citizens that share the same vision of a sustainable built environment for all within the next generation. Today, USGBC consists of 76 chapters, 12,800 member organizations, and 193,000 LEED professionals. LEADERSHIP IN ENERGY & ENVIRONMENTAL DESIGN (LEED)

LEED is a green building certification program developed by USGBC that recognizes best-in-class building strategies and practices. To receive LEED certification, building projects satisfy prerequisites and earn design points to achieve different levels of certification. Prerequisites and credits differ for each rating system, and teams choose the best fit for their project. LEED is an internationally recognized green certification system that provides building owners and operators a concise framework for identifying and implementing practical and measureable green building design, construction, operations and maintenance solutions.

USGBC CHAPTER NETWORK

USGBC Chapters are a part of a national nonprofit organization whose mission is to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built, and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life. It is built of a network of architects, engineers, designers, developers, real estate agents, and various other professionals involved in the construction and continued operations of buildings and communities.

USGBC EMERGING PROFESSIONALS

USGBC Emerging Professionals are the energetic and dynamic leaders of tomorrow’s green building movement. The program is geared toward individuals out of school and under 30, but does not exclude anyone who may be interested. USGBC Emerging Professionals seek to engage all those who are interested in learning about and advocating for sustainable building practices.

USGBC STUDENTS

Representing college and university-based groups of students, USGBC Students provides a way for hundreds of young leaders to come together and participate in hands-on green building experiences on their own campuses through service initiatives. USGBC helps students integrate sustainability themes into their coursework and advocate for sustainable university practices and policies. USGBC Students recruits, connects and equips the next generation of green building leaders by empowering them to transform their campuses, communities and careers.

GREENBUILD INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE & EXPO

Greenbuild is the world's largest conference and expo dedicated to green building. The ideals and passion of the green building community come alive at Greenbuild. Greenbuild brings together industry leaders, experts and frontline professionals dedicated to sustainable building their everyday work, and a unique energy is sparked. Participants are invigorated, inspired, and find themselves equipped to return home with a renewed passion and purpose. Greenbuild 2015 will take place in Washington D.C. from November 18-20.

BAPTIST HEALTH SOUTH FLORIDA ABOUT BAPTIST HEALTH SOUTH FLORIDA

With more than a million patient visits every year, Baptist Health receives rave reviews from the people they serve. In fact, patients and their families from around the world travel to Miami for their medical expertise. The Baptist Health team —5,000 employees and 2,200 physicians in virtually all specialties, many with national and international reputations—is truly remarkable. All of this and more make them South Florida’s world-class healthcare organization. At Baptist Health, people make the difference. Their success comes from a culture of quality and dedication that is instilled into every member of the Baptist Health family. It is because of their generosity, compassion and commitment to clinical and service excellence that Baptist Health has earned such a sterling reputation for quality.

MISSION STATEMENT

The mission of Baptist Health is to improve the health and well-being of individuals and to promote the sanctity and preservation of life, in the communities they serve. Baptist Health is a faith-based organization guided by the spirit of Jesus Christ and the Judeo-Christian ethic. They are committed to maintaining the highest standards of clinical and service excellence, rooted in the utmost integrity and moral practice. Consistent with its spiritual foundation, Baptist Health is dedicated to providing high-quality, cost-effective, compassionate healthcare services to all, regardless of religion, creed, race or national origin, including, as permitted by its resources, charity care to those in need

VISION STATEMENT

Baptist Health will be the preeminent healthcare provider in the communities we serve, the organization that people instinctively turn to for their healthcare needs. Baptist Health will offer a broad range of clinical services that are evidence-based and compassionately provided to ensure patient safety, superior clinical outcomes and the highest levels of satisfaction with a patient- and family-centered focus. Baptist Health will be a national and international leader in healthcare innovation.

BAPTIST HEALTH PRESCRIBES HEALTHY ENVIRONMENT, HEALTHY COMMUNITY

The Greater Miami Chamber of Commerce has selected Baptist Health South Florida as a winner of its inaugural Sustainable South Florida Award for environmentally friendly practices. Green practices enable Baptist Health to conserve energy, resources, materials and capital, and to place greater focus on improving community health.

Eco-friendly building projects include West Kendall Baptist Hospital at SW 96 Street and SW 162 Avenue. The hospital is one of the first acute care hospitals in the region to be certified as a green building through the U.S. Green Building Council’s Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) program. Other LEED-certification projects include the conversion of Homestead Hospital and the South Miami Medical Arts Building. Those buildings will conserve energy and water due to green building practices.

Baptist Health’s commitment to the environment dates back to 1972, when an energy-efficient plan was implemented for Baptist Hospital. That plan was the vision of Brian E. Keeley, an up-and-coming executive who led the building team with a passion for the environment. Nearly 40 years later, as president and CEO of Baptist Health, Mr. Keeley remains committed to green policies and construction.

INTENT OF NTDC 2015 “Hospitals make significant contributions to their communities by providing a wide variety of services. They are also major employers, with healthcare comprising approximately 16% of the national and regional economy. Hospitals operate all day everyday, making their environmental footprint large in many communities,” according to the EPA. Dating back to the days of ancient Egypt, hospitals have been places where people come to get better and heal themselves; however, is it not ironic that modern healthcare facilities do so while putting a strain on the local ecology – in essence making the surrounding environment sick? There is an innate relationship between healing patients in a hospital room and healing the natural environment around them. The Natural Talent Design Competition aims to provide students and young professionals a better understanding and highlight this principle, as they will be the designers of tomorrow creating the next generation of hospitals and healthcare facilities. NTDC OBJECTIVES

• Broaden environmental education in the building professions within the university system • Empower students/young professionals within the green building movement to become future leaders • Expose students and young professionals to the design process and develop their communications skills • Highlight the presence, efforts, and initiative of students and emerging leaders in the green building

movement • Promote exemplary designs of future designers to USGBC National, the USGBC Chapter Network, and

Greenbuild • Utilize LEED TM as a guideline for building design and performance and improve upon its effectiveness to

reach the healthcare industry • Recognize and award students and emerging green builders for their dedication, creativity, innovation, and

commitment to sustainable design • Expose local healthcare providers and developers to green concepts and encourage green renovations of

existing hospitals to generate local green jobs, stimulating not only the South Florida economy, but revitalizing our healthcare industry
