    ABSTRACT

    Greenhouse gases and energy extraction, production and consumption contribute to

    polluting the environment, and have led to climate change and global warming, now

    ranked as one of the top priorities on the United Nations environment agenda (Montreal

    !yoto protocols"# $n the United %tates and &anada, the building sector represents the

    third'largest domain of total energy consumption, after the industrial and transportation

    sectors#

    $n &anada and the United %tates alone, close to millions of people use hospital

    building# here is a growing demand to construct sustainable hospitals designed to

    provide more healthy, comfortable and productive environments as well as to reduce

    energy consumption and building costs#

    he research presented here details the adoption of sustainable and cost'effective

    materials and envelope types for new hospital buildings# )ased on the evaluation of

    certain *++ categories such as energy consumption rearrangement and replacement of

    material, along with incorporating the *&- (*ife &ycle -ssessment" techni.ue#

    $t is seen that this research provides a method that can assist governments and decision

    makers in minimi/ing their overall expenditures on public buildings and to provide the

    best possible structural0envelope system, while simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas

    emissions and minimi/ing the environmental impact associated with public sector

    buildings#

    INTRODUCTION

    1.1 DEFINITION OF A HOSPITAL BUILDING:

    4ospital is an institution that provides medical, surgical, or psychiatric care and

    treatment for the sick or the in6ured# 4ospitals are the most complex of building types#

    +ach hospital is comprised of a wide range of service and functional units# hese include

    8/64

    8

    diagnostic and treatment functions, such as clinical laboratories, imagining, and

    emergency rooms, and surgery, hospitality functions, such as food service and

    housekeeping and the fundamental inpatient care or bed'related function# his diversity

    is reflected in the breadth and specificity of regulations, codes, and oversight that govern

    hospital construction and operations# +ach of the wide'ranging and constantly evolving

    functions of a hospital, including highly complicated mechanical, electrical, and

    telecommunications systems, re.uires speciali/ed knowledge and expertise# No one

    person can reasonably have complete knowledge, which is why speciali/ed consultants

    play an important role in hospital planning and design# he functional units within the

    hospital can have competing needs and priorities# $deali/ed scenarios and strongly'held

    individual performances must be balanced against mandatory re.uirements, actual

    functional needs (internal traffic and relationship to other departments#" and the financial

    status of the organi/ation# Good hospital design integratesfunctional re.uirements with

    the human needs of its varied users#

    he basic form of a hospital is, ideally, based on its functionsF

    )ed' related inpatient functions

    9utpatient' related functions

    iagnostic and treatment functions

    -dministrative functions %ervice functions (food, supply"

    2.2 BASIC REQUIREMENTS OF A HOSPITAL BUILDING:

    2.2.1 General re!"re#en$%:

    -n efficient hospital layout shouldF

    2romote staff efficiency by minimi/ing distance of necessary travel between

    fre.uently used spaces

    -llow easy visual supervision of patients by limited staff

    $nclude all needed spaces, but no redundant ones# his re.uires careful pre'design

    progr a#m ming#

    2rovide an efficient logistics system, which might include elevators, pneumatic

    tubes, box conveyors, manual or automated carts, and gravity or pneumatic

    chutes, for the efficient handling of food and clean supplies and the removal of

    waste, recyclables, and soiled material

    Make efficient use of space by locating support spaces so that they may be shared

    by ad6acent functional areas, and by making prudent use of multi'purpose spaces

    &onsolidate outpatient functions for more efficient operation on first floor, if

    possible for direct access by outpatients

    Group or combine functional areas with similar system re.uirements

    2rovide optimal functional ad6acencies, such as locating the surgical intensive

    care unit ad6acent to the operating suite# hese ad6acencies should be based on a

    detailed functional program which describes the hospitalHs intended operations

    from the standpoint of patients, staff, and supplies#

    2.2.2 Ae%$&e$"' re!"re#en$%:

    -esthetics is closely related to creating a therapeutic environment (homelike, attractive#"

    $t is important in enhancing the hospitalHs public image and is thus an important

    marketing tool# - better environment also contributes to better staff morale and patient

    care# -esthetic considerations includeF

    $ncreased use of natural light,natural materials, and textures

    Use of artwork

    -ttention to proportions, color, scale, and detail

    environment and economy of the surrounding community# hey are heavy users

    of energyand waterand produce large a#mounts of waste# )ecause hospitals place such

    demands on community resources they are natural candidates for sustainable design#

    ay light is a vital aspect for designing buildings to maximi/e the light availability#

    1hile day light is imperative for wellbeing, it is needed effective in saving the

    consumption of electrical energy in buildings# Cor the $ndian condition, out of the total

    consumption of electrical energy in buildings, energy consumed by lighting in residential

    buildings is :DL and in commercial building, it is @EL # ypically in normal $ndian sky

    light# -vailable day light can be effectively harnessed through an understanding with the

    principles of design for day lighting#

    o measure the levels of light in a particular area, we need to use a device called a

    light meter, which measures the intensity of light in the vicinity of the sensor and displays

    the reading in lux#

    1hen measuring light intensity or illuminance in an hospital building, we need to

    place the light meter on the working plane, which in this case is the level of the bed#

    $n order to get an accurate assessment of the lighting in a large area, such as a wards,

    rooms, we need to take multiple readings on the working plane#

    Natural light levels constantly change , so accurate measuring of the light intensity

    can be difficult, therefore in order to carry out the survey successfully, the readings from

    different pints in the room at the same time are taken#

    meter measures from a few 8EE EEE *ux to 8EE micro'*ux ,thus covering 88 orders of

    magnitude, almost as many as the human eye#

    he light meter puts out numbers that are basically the number of electrons that are

    created by the light'particles when they hit the sensor and are then counted by the

    electronics# o get from that number or countsto a standardi/ed .uantity like received

    factor that has to be multiplied onto the counts that your light meter puts out# he light

    meter uses a commercial solar cell to detect and measure the light#

    he sensitivity of the light meter is such that all natural sky'light levels can be measured

    emitted from very dark pristine skies in remote locations#

    he light meter is linear from about the brightness of the full moon (about E#; *ux" down

    to the typical E#EE: *ux of dark skies and lower#

    he measurement range above the full moon has been added to compare the daylight

    variations to the night time variations# his part is experimental and non'linear# hat

    means twice the counts do not correspond to twice the light# hese measurements have to

    be processed to give physical .uantities correctly#

    )asically the sensor records all wavelengths that the eye can see and acts light an

    ideal detector that is sensitive to all directionsF that means if you tilt it the measurements

    he light intensity in hospital has been measured based on grid pattern at e.ual

    intervals of time during the day, at a gap of every : hours# he variation of light intensity

    in hospital with time period has been plotted with respect to the hospital grid pattern#

    8#$t can be observed that the intensity of light is not uniform for the given period of time#

    :# -s the time period increases, large a#mount of variation a#mong the light intensity

    he non uniformity in the light intensity inside the hospital is due to the room interior

    characteristics( paint, light reflecting materials and light absorbing materials" which may

    affect the psychological behaviour and concentration of staffs and patients#

    rearrangements of beds can increase the light intensity but due to the contain of the

    space rearrangements cannot be done in the emergency ward#
