Resource-intensive facilities and technical systems are an integral part of hospitals and health care facilities. They include demanding thermal comfort requirements, rooms kept at different air pressure, the need for sufficient cleanliness, year-round fresh air, substantial hot water and power requirements supported by a reliable energy supply, robust fire protection, vertical transport systems, and much more.
In line with the energy strategic report prepared for public hospitals, this guide provides various energy efficiency considerations for the construction of new health care facilities. It is hoped that new buildings in healthcare that may be constructed in the future will take into account these considerations.
