Spotlight Session: Enhance Energy Performance with Net Zero Design

The Brockton Behavioral Health Center, part of the Boston Medical Center Health System, is an 82-bed facility designed to address co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders in Massachusetts and a critical shortage of behavioral health inpatient beds. The Center — which opened on Oct. 1, 2022 — is a major investment into the health and wellness of a predominantly poor and racially diverse patient-base. Cory Pouliot will review the path taken to develop this net-zero building, utilizing improved design and mechanical systems.
