Buildings account for significant carbon dioxide emissions, both in construction and operation. Governments around the world are setting targets and legislating to reduce the carbon emissions related to the built environment, which arises from the consistently high energy performance. This paper describes an innovative, contribution to improving environmental design of low-carbon medical facilities such as smart hospitals, this innovation is achieved through environmental design by observation, analysis for cases studies, add local conditions for design problems, and impact performance of labor practices on energy consumption and carbon emissions. We managed it to improve to suit local environmental conditions, finally reach the search goal of reducing energy use under special medical conditions and achieving comfort zone conservation and carbon reduction in the management of green hospitals. The paper presents, the way to reduce energy usage under the special circumstances of medical services in addition to effectively achieve energy conservation and carbon reduction of green hospital management through the low carbon consumption equipment of the new construction.
