Cleveland Clinic Florida Egil and Pauline Braathen Center
Certified LEED v2009 Healthcare Silver, 2016
USGBC Gala Verde, LEED for Healthcare Project of the Year, 2016
Overview
Cleveland Clinic Florida expanded its campus with the addition of a new five-story building housing the Egil and Pauline Braathen Neurological Center and the Maroone Cancer Center. The outpatient facility includes advanced diagnostic and treatment services, a pharmacy, on-site lab, occupational therapy and infusion bays.
The building is served by a central energy plant, with elements of it located in the mechanical penthouse. Two 500-ton air-cooled chillers provide cooling for the facility. The electrical system is safeguarded with a 400kW diesel-fueled emergency generator with a 350-gallon tank to provide 12 hours of run time at full load. An 80 KVA uninterruptible power supply system supports the needs of the main distribution frame and intermediate distribution frame rooms.
Features
The facility is the first project in Florida to achieve LEED Silver certification under LEED for Healthcare. Built and designed with sustainability in mind, it features energy-efficient equipment, a flexible lighting control system, a rainwater collection system and horizontal fins on the facade to modulate sunlight exposure.
