<![CDATA[Worldwide, hospitals and other health-care facilities are among the largest institutional consumers of energy and generators of carbon emissions, which explains the growing push for these buildings to operate more sustainably. This paper examines how well the emerging Advent Hospital Manado design measures up against the green-building benchmarks contained in GREENSHIP New Building Version 1.2. As the building is still early in construction, only the Design Recognition (DR) stage was assessed, capping the achievable score at 77 points. Evidence was drawn from a review of planning documents—the Detailed Engineering Design (DED), the Bill of Quantities (BOQ), and the not-yet-finalized technical specifications (RKS)—together with on-site inspection used to corroborate the paperwork. Scoring placed the design at 27 out of 77 points (35.06 percent), a result that clears the threshold for an indicative Bronze rating. Sensitivity testing indicates the score has room to climb toward a Gold rating of 48 points, provided the mechanical team runs thermal simulations, the basement sump is converted into a dual-plumbing setup for recycled water, and formal environmental-management procedures are put in place. Taken together, these results show that the preliminary design already satisfies core sustainability principles, though confirming its real-world operational performance will have to wait until the building is finished and in use.]]>
