The document discusses the benefits of green or sustainable hospital design. Green hospitals aim to conserve natural resources through energy and water savings of 20-50% while also improving patient and staff comfort. Design elements like increased natural lighting, indoor plant life, and non-toxic materials enhance air quality and health. Studies show patients recover faster in environments with views of nature. Case studies demonstrate that green hospitals achieve tangible cost savings as well as intangible benefits like reduced sick building syndrome and more productive patient healing.

MBA Hospital Management

2. Green Building vs. Conventional
Building
 External Appearance: Both look alike
 Functionality: Same
 Differences
 Conserve natural resources.
 Concern for human comfort, indoor
environment & productivity.

3. BENEFITS OF GREEN BUILDINGS
 Tangible benefits
 Energy savings : 40-50%
 Water savings : 20-30%
 Intangible benefits
 All good aspects associated to green
 Better Indoor ambience
 Day lighting & views
 improved health and
 productivity

4. CAN A BUILDING HELP YOU
CURE.?
 Research shows patient recovery much faster
 Connectivity to outside environment.
 Better Daylight and Views.
 Healing benefits for patients.
 Better Indoor Air Quality
 No sick building syndrome.
 Regular CO2 monitoring.
 Increased fresh air ventilation.

5. GREEN HOSPITAL
A Green hospital is one which
enhances patient well being,
aids in curative process while
utilizing natural resources in an
efficient environment friendly
manner.
The main objective is to
achieve:-
 - Reduction of energy
 consumption
 - Reduction of costs
 - Reduction of CO2 emission.

6. FOCUS AREAS FOR GREEN
HOSPITAL DESIGN
 Lighting
 IndoorAir quality - Passive and Active
measures
 Green house keeping
 Clean and Green interior building
materials
 Gardens and landscape

7. ENERGY SAVING MEASURES
 Photovoltaic (Solar energy – generation of
electricity).
 Solar collectors e.g. for warm water generation.
 Building Automation System.
 Absorber chiller unit combined with a co-
generating unit which is generating electricity and
supplies heating energy (heat-loss from the engine
and the exhaust gas) for the absorber chiller-unit
(total energy plant).
 Energy recovery systems for the air handling units.
 Core activated concrete (installation of chilled
water piping inside the construction – ceiling).

8. LIGHTING
 Hospital design should maximize day light
and optimize artificial lighting
requirement.
 Day lighting is the controlled admission of
natural light into building to reduce use of
electricity for lighting.

9. BENEFITS OF DAY LIGHTING
AND VIEWS IN HOSPITAL
 Positiveeffect on patients in hospitals.
 Enhance health and well being of
patients and reduces stress level of
employees improving quality of care.
 Combats seasonal affective disorder or
winter depression, through view
connectivity to natural vistas.
 Improves facility’s overall operational
efficiency.

windows.

12. INDOOR AIR QUALITY
 Restoring and safeguarding Health is the main
purpose of Health care facilities indoor environment
quality is critical to Green Hospitals.
DO’s for Good Indoor Environment
• Use indoor species of plants which
produces oxygen and reduces indoor
pollutants from air.
• Improve fresh air by providing courtyard
spaces with native and adaptive plant
species free from allergic effects.
• Use Zero-VOC indoor materials.

13. OUTDOOR FRESH AIR
REQUIREMENTS FOR VENTILLATION
OF HEALTH CARE FACILITIES

14. GREEN HOUSE KEEPING
 Accumulation of dust ,soil and microbial
contaminants is the potential source of
Hospital acquired infections.
 Measures for House keeping are
 Cleaning products that meet
environmental standards.
 Personnel training for safe handling and
disposal of hospital waste.
 Waste recycling where ever possible.

15. CLEAN AND GREEN INTERIOR
BUILDING MATERIAL
 Patients and staff are exposed to a host of
pathogenic germs and toxins that enter the
hospital through the medium of large number of
infected patients.
 Ensure the property of repelling or resisting
growth of the pathogenic germs and bacteria
in interior surfaces.
 Use Copper based interior material for touch
surfaces in hospitals.
 Use indoors or floorings that do not
emit/absorb/release indoor pollutants such as
VOC and dust.

16. GARDENS AND LANDSCAPES
 An aesthetic delight that
promotes wellness of
patients in hospital.
 Research studies show that
recuperation from stress is
faster and complete when
patients are exposed to
natural settings than any
other form of built
environment.
