USGBC

    Physicians Capital Investments is a proud member of U.S. Green Building Council® (USGBC®). The Washington, D.C.-based USGBC is a 501 c3 non-profit organization committed to a prosperous and sustainable future for our nation through cost-efficient and energy-saving green buildings.

As a member, PCI is committed to environmentally friendly construction practices for all its medical facility developments – from dialysis clinics to oncology centers. USGBC's Mission is “to transform the way buildings and communities are designed, built and operated, enabling an environmentally and socially responsible, healthy, and prosperous environment that improves the quality of life.”

 
Today, buildings in the United States are responsible for 39% of CO2 emissions, 40% of energy consumption, 13% water consumption and 15% of GDP per year, making green building a source of significant economic and environmental opportunity. Greater building efficiency can meet 85% of future U.S. demand for energy, and a national commitment to green building has the potential to generate 2.5 million American jobs.
