Healthcare projects historically are one of the largest consumers of electricity of all building types. Healthcare projects can benifit from reduced solar heat gain by utilizing properly designed Exterior Sun Controls. This reduced heat gain translates to less cooling requirements, less electricity and finally less dollars spent on life cycle operations. External Sun Controls in conjunction with Interior Light Shelves provide the added benifit of managed daylighting. Interior spaces rely more on natural light with less artificial light and consequently less dollars spent on life cycle operations. Studies indicate healthcare facilities with a well designed Daylighting Stratedgy can contribute to patients wellbeing and contribute to reduced hospital stays.
