If rain enters through
louvers, what happens in a hospital to your:
o Electrical equipment
o Auxiliary generators
o Air conditioning
equipment/air handling
plant serving operating
theatres
Construction Specialties
Single blade louver will not stop rain entering & damaging equipment A 1500mm corridor separates the louver from the equipment
A C/S Storm Resistant Louver will stop wind driven rain (up to 22
metres/sec and 200mm rain) from entering. No need for a 1500 mm corridor saving space & money

About 40 % of Greenland's ice sheet which
covers 683,000 square miles, thawed at or
near the surface on July 8. Four days later,
the melt had dramatically accelerated and
an estimated 97% of the ice sheet surface
had thawed. Nicolo E. DiGirolamo, SSAI/NASA GSFC, and Jesse Allen, NASA

The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) wants the nation’s hospitals to improve energy efficiency by 20 percent at existing facilities and make new hospitals 30 percent more efficient
“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”

confirming what healthcare
practitioners have known
throughout history. The human
body best recovers from illness
in environments that include
abundant natural lighting and
access to garden environments or views of nature

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

accident on the other

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

Wheelchairs
Recliners
Gurneys
Where?

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
The need for
wall and door
protection that

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.

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
