BENEFITS OF GREEN BUILDINGS

Tangible benefits Energy savings : 40-50% Water savings : 20-30% Intangible benefits All good aspects associated to green
Better Indoor ambience Day lighting & views improved health and productivity

CAN A BUILDING HELP YOU CURE.?

Research shows patient recovery much faster

Connectivity to outside environment. Better Daylight and Views. Healing benefits for patients.

Better Indoor Air Quality

No sick building syndrome. Regular CO2 monitoring. Increased fresh air ventilation.

GREEN HOSPITAL
A Green hospital is one which enhances patient well being, aids in curative process while utilizing natural resources in an efficient environment friendly manner. The main objective is to achieve: - Reduction of energy consumption - Reduction of costs - Reduction of CO2 emission.

FOCUS AREAS FOR GREEN HOSPITAL DESIGN

Lighting Indoor

Air quality - Passive and Active measures Green house keeping Clean and Green interior building materials Gardens and landscape

ENERGY SAVING MEASURES

Photovoltaic (Solar energy generation of electricity). Solar collectors e.g. for warm water generation. Building Automation System. Absorber chiller unit combined with a cogenerating unit which is generating electricity and supplies heating energy (heat-loss from the engine and the exhaust gas) for the absorber chiller-unit (total energy plant). Energy recovery systems for the air handling units. Core activated concrete (installation of chilled water piping inside the construction ceiling).

LIGHTING
Hospital

design should maximize day light and optimize artificial lighting requirement. Day lighting is the controlled admission of natural light into building to reduce use of electricity for lighting.

BENEFITS OF DAY LIGHTING AND VIEWS IN HOSPITAL

Positive

effect on patients in hospitals. Enhance health and well being of patients and reduces stress level of employees improving quality of care. Combats seasonal affective disorder or winter depression, through view connectivity to natural vistas. Improves facilitys overall operational efficiency.

RECCOMENDED LIGHTING LEVELS FOR HOSPITALS

DESIGN ASPECTS
To enhance Natural lighting Glazing facades. Translucent skylights with soothing colors. Transparent and operable opening to green courtyards. Ledge seating at windows. To enhance efficiency of artificial lighting Use occupancy sensors. Install low energy LED lighting to save on indoor lighting energy cost. Task lights to provide illumination in task areas like consulting areas , labs ,wards.

 Restoring

INDOOR AIR QUALITY

and safeguarding Health is the main purpose of Health care facilities indoor environment quality is critical to Green Hospitals.

DOs for Good Indoor Environment Use indoor species of plants which produces oxygen and reduces indoor pollutants from air. Improve fresh air by providing courtyard spaces with native and adaptive plant species free from allergic effects. Use Zero-VOC indoor materials.

OUTDOOR FRESH AIR REQUIREMENTS FOR VENTILLATION OF HEALTH CARE FACILITIES

GREEN HOUSE KEEPING

Accumulation

of dust ,soil and microbial contaminants is the potential source of Hospital acquired infections. Measures for House keeping are Cleaning products that meet environmental standards. Personnel training for safe handling and disposal of hospital waste. Waste recycling where ever possible.

CLEAN AND GREEN INTERIOR BUILDING MATERIAL

Patients and staff are exposed to a host of pathogenic germs and toxins that enter the hospital through the medium of large number of infected patients. Ensure the property of repelling or resisting growth of the pathogenic germs and bacteria in interior surfaces. Use Copper based interior material for touch surfaces in hospitals. Use indoors or floorings that do not emit/absorb/release indoor pollutants such as VOC and dust.

GARDENS AND LANDSCAPES

aesthetic delight that promotes wellness of patients in hospital. Research studies show that recuperation from stress is faster and complete when patients are exposed to natural settings than any other form of built environment.
