We want to go for the two Green Education strategies, signage program and education. Is it enough to educate the staff on a regular basis as a goal for the educational program? Or do we also have to educate the patients since it is a hospital? Thanks /Veronika

Hey Veronica! We also want to pursue this strategies. We believe this works as approved during pre-certification of our project.

Great, thanks. So you also have a hospital and will not educate the patients? At our project we hope that the signage program will be enough to address education for patients.

We have a commercial office building, so it is a bit different, but perhaps it should work in both cases. See "Educational Programs" under Bird's View of this credit: Educational programs must consist of at least two separate components, including a kiosk, a website, a case study, a lecture series, signage, etc.

I believe the credit is to educate all building users including patients and their families. One of our projects is going to incorporate signage and electronic signage through banners on the patient's TV. They also have produced a series of videos that are available to order via the TV and are downloadable from their website. This maybe a little overboard but it fits will their total needs. The banner program came about because they did not want a lot of signs cluttering up the patient room. We felt that the sign detract from the soothing environment in the room.
