EH&E, a leading provider of environmental and engineering consulting services, has won the 2014 IFMA Boston Excellence Award for Best Practices in Sustainability for a joint project conducted with Brigham and Women’s Hospital (BWH). Commissioned by BWH and designed by EH&E, the project set a new benchmark by establishing best practicing model for the improvement of fire and life safety compliance during and after construction of healthcare facilities.
The IFMA Award for Best Practices in Sustainability was one of four Facility Management Achievement awards presented at a ceremony in June 2014. The new approach to fire stopping and life safety management guides hospitals how to cost effectively resolve these deficiencies and how to set the foundation for maintaining life safety and firewall barrier systems throughout the life of their buildings.
