covers 683,000 square miles, thawed at or

“In 2007, hospitals spent more than $5 billion on energy costs”.

“More than 2.5 times the energy intensity & carbon dioxide emissions of commercial office buildings”

4. Reducing dirt, water & contaminants from entering the hospital


Dirt trapped below

Entrance Flooring Systems Sustainability & LEED

Requirement:

LEED IEQ Credit 5 encourages

the use of permanent

grilles/grates at least 3.3 meters

in length to capture dirt & water

at all high volume entryways.

Design Goals?

o improved indoor air quality

o reduced maintenance costs

o Stop floor damage

o Safer floor surfaces

o Aesthetics.


Some Design Considerations

o Ability to effectively scrape dirt

from shoes

o Slip & fall prevention

o Cleaning & dirt trap access

o Rolling loads - up to 450

kilograms per wheel (1,000 pounds

per wheel)

o Traffic & Slat direction?

o Aesthetics

5. Privacy in the healthcare environment


Reducing the spread

of healthcare associated infections

A Study: “A high percentage of

hospital curtains were

contaminated with MRSE,

VRE and C-Diff”

“These organisms were

transferred to the hands of

hospital workers”

Project: Ahuja Medical Center


6. Preventing damage to interior walls & doors


There's been an

accident on the other

side of town

An ambulance is

rushing the patient to

the hospital

Speed is critically

important

This may be a matter of life or

death

No time to think about

damage to the building

Damage caused by?

Equipment

Carts

Wheelchairs

Recliners

Gurneys

Where?

High traffic patient areas

Corridors

Elevators

Day surgery rooms

Deadly Hospital Bacteria Causes a Panic in Chile Marisa Krystian Apr 19, 2012

USA Intra hospital infections were

estimated as the 4th highest

cause of death in US hospitals in

2009 by the Centers for Disease

Control & Prevention

Chile “Doctors at Chile's largest

hospital are combatting a

deadly bacterial infection that

has reportedly killed 36 patients

as of Thursday”

“Doctors at the Public Assistance

Hospital reported on Wednesday

that 186 patients have been

infected since June with C Diff

(Clostridium difficile), a potentially

fatal bacteria that causes severe diarrhoea and intestinal distress”

The Design Challenge?

How to design a building that will

look great on the day it opens

And stays that way

Even when walls & doors are

subjected to impact/damage from

a variety of things

wall and door

Art Evidence-based health-care architecture

Research convincingly suggests

patients experience less stress &

pain if they can view nature &

other pleasant distractions

Artwork can be effective in

soothing stress and providing

distraction from pain, especially

when it depicts nature or people

with positive facial expressions

Abstract, emotionally negative,

or surreal artwork appears to

aggravate stress in some

patients.

“Art” embedded in Wall

Protection


Children's Hospital Portland, Oregon, USA

Research shows that nature

art can...

o Reduce stress and anxiety

o Lower blood pressure

o Reduce need for pain

medication

o Increase patients' trust and

confidence

o Be a positive distraction for

patients, visitors, and staff
