Jersey Shore University Medical Center was awarded LEED Gold sustainable design certification by the U.S. Green Building Council in September of 2010. The facility features energy efficient building systems, recycled materials, and 100 percent filtered outside air. The $300 million, 400,000-sf Northwest Pavilion uses 30 percent less water than a conventional facility, saving 1,314,000 gallons per year. Two gas-fired co-generation units convert onsite waste into steam heat, resulting in a 32% reduction in energy costs.
