How to realise ‘Green’ in hospital design?
Architectural Design MEP Design

 Use an environmentally friendly plot  Utilise energy efficient heating and cooling
 Consider direction of sun and wind when orientating the  Receive energy and hot water from solar panels
building to gain maximal natural light and air circulation mounted e.g. on the roof
 Apply sustainable and energy-efficient design  Collect rainwater from as much roof area as possible
 Allow economical friendly vertical and horizontal to be reused for toilets and gardens
transportation  Consider energy efficient lighting
 Design around the idea of recycling, reusing, and reducing
Interior Design Landscape Design

 Create an environment that enhances patient  Create an outdoor environment supports the healing
well-being and aids in curative process process
 Utilise efficient fittings to reduce water throughput  Implement a water efficient watering system
 Use materials with a high recycled content
 Make use of floor, wall, and ceiling materials that is free
of volatile materials to improve indoor air quality
17
What are the ‘Benefits’ of Green healthcare?
Minimised Energy Reduced Operating Costs Cheaper Total Cost of

Consumption Ownership
Optimal Water Usage Shorter Patient Stays Effective and Economic

What are the ‘Benefits’ of Green healthcare? Why Should Hospitals Focus on Being Green?
Creating Healthy Environments for Patients, Family and Staff

 Utilizing Green materials in hospital construction
 Procuring Green products from the hospital
consumerable Supply Chain.
 Following a strict Green Waste disposal regime.
Minimised Energy Consumption
 Hospitals rank second in the United States in electricity

use
 Generate hazardous and non-hazardous waste, air
emissions, and wastewater that can, if not properly
managed, significantly contribute to air, soil and water
pollution
19
What are the ‘Metrics’ for measuring Green healthcare?
 Reduced energy and water

consumption
 Contributions to national energy,
water, and carbon savings and
long-term environmental impacts
CONSUMPTION
 Reduced Facilities
Management costs for the
Lifecycle

 The green space strategy begins with the two tree-

lined entry boulevards which transition into a grand
garden oasis at the center of medical city. This
shaded garden, on the roof of the building’s plinth,
is accessed from below by gracious interior and
exterior stairs and activated by adjacent cafes,
conference areas, and family waiting areas.
 Within the plinth, itself, a series of courtyards
serves to bring light and nature into these large
floor plates, thereby mitigating the sense of
distance, assisting in way-finding and creating a
more tranquil atmosphere in this medically intense
setting. Above the plinth, the bed towers will be
woven with a series of sunlit terraces, hanging
gardens and adjacent family lounges.
