Abstract A healthcare facility is an excessive energy-consuming facility for public use, especially for patients, thus it should consider various factors in terms of its functionality, medical care, and environment. However, Korean Green Standard for Energy and Environmental Design(G-SEED) has no separate assessment scheme for healthcare. Based on assessment criteria and requirements for healthcare facility extracted from BREEAM and LEED, a survey was conducted to evaluate the contents' suitability by medical staff. Based on the result, assessment criteria of healthcare for G-SEED will be proposed. This research is significant for it is the first research focused on opinions of medical staff, whereas previous researches were done with architectural professionals only. There are two types of extracted contents. The first one is special content only applicable to healthcare and the other one is differentiated content from the other building types. Five point likert scale method and multi-response method was used for the survey. In the survey result of healthcare-only contents, operational waste, PBT source reduction, infection control, thermal comfort, and indoor air quality were regarded as the most important contents, while direct exterior access and cyclist facilities received the lowest scores. Differentiated contents that received the highest score were in Indoor Environment category.
