It is the first stand-alone medical center energy plant to achieve this distinction.
The 40,000-square-foot plant will ultimately support 900,000 square feet of hospital space.
The two-story building includes three 1,300-ton chillers which will generate enough chilled water to fill 10 Olympic-sized swimming pools each day.
