Architecture Algorithm for Energy Efficient Healthcare Facility

Abstract

Design Energy efficient clinical setting is one of the fundamental criteria for healthcare project success. The focus is on creating the optimal conditions for innovation in healthcare considering the local context of Pakistan.. Concerning building form the compact geometrical form of the building is the most efficient as compared to the spread blocks plan. The accessibility is enhanced to utmost efficiency level by sculpting the entire mass of the building incorporating vehicular and pedestrian accessibility and hospital form maintaining expert care facility in centralized, collective, sheltered manner. An I- Shape plan provides central circulation core, this shows maximum healing environment of ? 6,240 sq.ft.3 for Ziauddin Hospital 2. Since it is compact and the probability to getting lost is less therefore stress is very less. A U-Shape plan which is present in FC2 and ZH1 provides second best energy efficient solution through a grid plan ? 19,800 sq.ft.3 and ? 28,800 sq.ft.3 respectively are the algorithm. Since it gives more space for central connectivity and direction is easy which are key for navigation from architectural point of view.
