The importance in improving the energy efficiency of our public health facilities is ever growing, especially in the light of the recent recurrent problems of load-shedding.
The Going Green in Health Facilities Conferences 2013 and 2014 initiated a successful chain of positive discussions around South African energy efficient & environmentally friendly healthcare facilities.
This year, the conference will take place on the 16-17 September 2015 and will see a special appearance of the Singapore Health Ministry to advise us on their projects approaches to reduce energy problems in their public health facilities.
