What is regenerative design? The term “regenerative” describes a process that mimics nature by restoring or renewing any sources of energy and materials that process uses. Applied to the built environment, regenerative design moves us beyond basic high-performance design and toward renewal-focused impacts. This includes net-positive energy and water, human and community health, and site systems that become part of a functioning ecosystem. For healthcare facilities, this means doing more than simply balancing the benefits their care provides to patients with the negative impacts their development can have on communities. Instead, the industry must drive healthcare facilities toward a future where they give more than they take and realize positive impacts for both people and the planet. This socio-ecological relationship realigns us as part of the natural world and breaks the current development patterns that separate us from it. Regenerative design in healthcare What does this look
