(NECN) - Massachusetts health authorities want the state's hospitals and nursing homes to think green. Under new guidelines-- which could be adopted as early as this fall-- any healthcare facility looking to renovate or expand would have to comply with practical green building standards.

Alfred Scaramelli, President of H2O applied technologies, helped make that happen, and discusses the process, as well as the benefits.
