Abstract:
Relocatable buildings are commonly spread around as an alternative method of construction. To consider it a successful practice, it should perform its function similarly to a traditional way. Assessing a building after its operation determines the rate of its success and decides the possibility of repeating its type. This study aimed to provide a comprehensive knowledge base related to space evaluation of the building through spatial assessment. This study investigated the functional efficiency and dimensional requirements of a relocatable hospital in Mosul, in the south of Iraq. This study compared the dimensional requirements of eight hospital departments to the standard, followed by functional efficacy analysis based on space syntax theory and compared the results to examples used in standards books. The results showed that departments in the relocatable buildings have good plan integration. We concluded that hospitals constructed with containers could achieve functional efficiency.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Beyond resource efficiencies, green buildings aim to create healthy indoor environments for building occupants. In terms of improving occupant well-being, a unique case emerges for healthcare facilities, whose patients may be at a vulnerable state. In the U.S., the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system has become the most widely recognized certification system for green buildings, including green healthcare facilities and buildings. Hospitals with high total scores in the LEED rating system are green buildings but may not necessarily be the optimal green healthcare environment from a patient’s wellbeing perspective. Certified health-care facilities were analyzed in terms of their credit valuation to assess whether health-care facilities prioritize specific criteria that influence patient wellbeing and recovery time. Analysis of results indicate hospitals may be valuing the level of certification more than those credits that were deemed relevant for patient wellbeing and rate of recovery, either due to lack of information or due to economic constraints. To consolidate the previous results and to compare the performance of LEED certified green hospitals to the national average, the Hospital Consumer Assessment of Healthcare Providers and Systems (HCAHPS) survey was analyzed for patients’ perspectives on the healthcare facility. Results indicate higher satisfaction in green hospitals’ overall patient care performance as well as a greater tendency to recommend green hospitals to others compared to the national average. No statistical significance was found for hospital cleanliness and quietness between green hospitals and the national average. HIGHLIGHTS

Abstract:
Acoustic comfort is a welcome concept for the design and management of healthcare facilities, potentially providing methods to address acoustic environment deficiencies revealed by experience and by the Affordable Care Act’s CAHPS® Hospital Survey, on which the noise question historically performs worst yielding public disclosure and financial penalties to hospitals. One possible vehicle for introducing quantified acoustic comfort into buildings is the healthcare design guidelines published by the Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI), which are adopted as building code in a majority of the United States, provide reference standards for the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Rating System and the International Green Construction Code, and are cited in 87 countries. For acceptance into the FGI guidelines, “acoustic comfort” requires a formal definition accepted by standards organizations and clinical research, which is free from conflicts of interest based on research conducted by recognized third-party organizations on the physiological and psychological effects of noise on humans, particularly those with compromised health, like patients in hospitals and skilled nursing facilities. FGI encourages proposals from the public, particularly valuing advice from members of professional societies, and relies on the research community to provide evidence-based support for all acoustics topics.

Abstract:
Aim: to conduct a hygienic assessment of new architectural and planning solutions of psychiatric health care facility buildings in Ukraine and give a comparative description of the sanitary standards of the latter in the EU. The study was conducted based on the analysis of State Building Norms (SBN) B.2.2-10:2019 “Buildings and structures. Health care facilities” (draft, final revision), scientific sources of domestic and foreign scientists. A survey of the chief physicians of psychiatric hospitals of Ukraine concerning safe sanitary and hygienic, anti-epidemic conditions for the functioning of psychiatric health care facilities was conducted. We consider it necessary to present more carefully architectural and planning solutions in the relevant section of SBN B.2.2-10:2019 (draft, final revision) or to use the opportunity specified in the introduction to these Norms, and to supplement them with the Manual on the design of psychiatric health care facilities, taking into account the experience of the European Union. To create an appropriate “therapeutic environment” in new domestic mental health care facilities, it is necessary to implement European requirements in the design of these facilities with the involvement of multidisciplinary groups: (from architects to nurses, from construction contractors to patients) and supplement SBN B.2.2-10:2019 “Buildings and structures. Health care Facilities” of Ukraine with a guide for designing facilities of a new type of “Mental Health Centers” as in the Republic of Poland. We have developed and sent to the chief physicians of psychiatric hospitals of Ukraine «Questionnaire for scientific sanitary and epidemiological assessment of the conditions of placement of a psychiatric health care facility”. Based on the analysis of the block of questions on sanitary and antiepidemic and sanitary and hygienic parameters that characterize the buildings of domestic psychiatric hospitals, the location of medical structures and auxiliary units on the land plot, i.e. the design of buildings is determined. In particular, 50% of psychiatric hospitals are housed in combined buildings, 25% have a pavilion system (separate buildings), 12.5% each have a centralized system (all in one building) and a block system. The number of stories of psychiatric hospitals up to 2 is 50%, up to 3 – 37.5% and up to 5 stories in those which have been under construction since 1960 – 12.5%. Analysis of the questionnaire block on the conditions of stay, treatment, rehabilitation of the mentally ill revealed the possibility of organizing occupational therapy in 12.5% of psychiatric hospitals, where special workshops are equipped and patients can acquire professional skills. Physiotherapy rooms are equipped in 50% of psychiatric hospitals. Low provision of patients with furniture was revealed: 25% of patients partially have proper desk, 75% do not have it; 50% are provided with proper chairs; 62.8% use proper bedside tables and 25% – closets for storing personal clothes.

Abstract:
Growths in population, increasing demand for health care services and comfort levels, together with patients on the rise in time spent inside hospitals, assure the upward trend that energy demand will continue in the future. Since the hospital buildings operate 24 hours, 365 days a year for the treatment and restoration of patients, they are approximately 2–3 times more energy-intensive than normal buildings. For this reason, energy efficiency in hospitals is one of the prime objectives for energy policy at regional, national and international levels. This study aims to find how meaningful energy performance, reflecting good energy management and energy conservation measures (ECMs), can be operated for hospital buildings, a category encompassing complex buildings with different systems and large gaps between them. Energy audit allows us to obtain knowledge from the healthcare facility, in order to define and tune data driven analysis rules. The use of benchmarking in the energy audit of healthcare facilities enables immediate comparison between hospitals. Data driven energy analysis also allows ascertaining their expected energy consumption and estimating the possible savings margin by using the building energy flow chart. In the 2015–2017 periods, bench-marking of four public hospitals in Seoul were audited for the energy consumption related to weather conditions, total area, bed numbers, employee numbers, and analyzed for building energy flow by zones, energy sources, systems and equipment. This is a practice-based learning in a hospital project. The results reveal that the average annual energy consumption of a hospital under normal conditions, and energy efficiency factors are divided into energy baselines, energy consumption goals for energy saving and energy usage trends for setting ECMs, respectively. The indicator dependent on the area of inpatients (number of beds) proved to be the most suitable as a reference to quantify the energy consumption of a hospital.

Abstract:
In the context of hospital building, inpatient care has large portion in comparasion of the other facility areas within hospitals related to efficiency, such as outpatient services, emergency room, diagnostic and especially inpatient function group services. Even though inpatient care group do not have specific requirements for detailed design and building equipment, it requires efficiency considerations related to correlation with room layout. It is expected that by considering the level of efficiency of service to patients, design can fulfill technical requirements of health and medical aspects. Regarding designs for district-level private hospitals, demand optimization of placement and layout of inpatient care became main topic in this research. This is related to the value of investment in building area development and types of services provided according to inpatient services class. The method used is comparative study of two (2) private hospital design to find the mind factors that most influence of optimization of inpatient layout. The results of study can be used as a guide in architectural design process for designing hospital buildings especially related to design efficiency of inpatient layout so that the building can function sustainability because of optimal service.

Abstract:
Purpose As hospital operations are undergoing major changes, comprehensive methods are needed for evaluating the indoor environment quality (IEQ) and usability of workspaces in hospital buildings. The purpose of this paper is to present a framework of the characteristics that have an impact on the usability of work environments for hospital renovations, and to use this framework to illustrate the usability evaluation process in the real environment. Design/methodology/approach The usability of workspaces in hospital environments was evaluated in two hospitals, as an extension of the IEQ survey. The evaluation method was usability walk-through. The main aim was to determine the usability characteristics of hospital facility workspaces that support health, safety, good indoor air quality, and work flow. Findings The facilities and workspaces were evaluated by means of four main themes: orientation, layout solution, working conditions, and spaces for patients. The most significant usability flaws were cramped spaces, noise/acoustic problems, faulty ergonomics, and insufficient ventilation. Due to rooms being cramped, all furnishing directly caused functionality and safety problems in these spaces. Originality/value The paper proposes a framework that links different design characteristics to the usability of hospital workspaces that need renovation.

Abstract:
The study combined quantitative and qualitative approaches, in terms of both staff perception and facility manager perspective, to evaluate the effectiveness of indoor environmental quality (IEQ) of LEED–certified facilities and relationship between IEQ and occupant comfort and productivity in healthcare settings in the USA climate zones 2 and 3. A multiple-methods approach combining a questionnaire survey and semi-structured interview was tested for effective post-occupancy evaluation. The study compared one non-LEED healthcare facility with five LEED certified healthcare buildings and examined which variable(s) had significant relationship with comfort and productivity by surveying 249 occupants and interviewing six facility managers in six healthcare settings. The results showed that five LEED–certified healthcare settings were superior to one non-LEED facility in most of building performance factors. Building design, temperature comfort, image presented to visitors, use of space, control over noise and ability to meet occupants’ needs were significant predictors for overall comfort. Lighting overall, temperature comfort and image presented to visitors had a significant positive relationship with perceived productivity. Only one non-LEED hospital was selected and some buildings had small response rate, the results should be interpreted with caution.

Abstract:
Columbus Regional Health (CRH, hereafter), a nonprofit organization in Columbus, Indiana, evolved from a traditional local hospital to an award-winning regional health-care provider through innovation. As CRH began implementing innovation processes, the city of Columbus was hit by a natural disaster that flooded the hospital's flagship facility forcing it to close its operations and relocate its critical patients to other hospitals in the area. As a result of the closure, CRH's leadership faced daunting challenges, including whether or not to continue paying its employees, how to continue to provide care for its patients and the community, and funding the cost of repairs and renovations to CRH facilities estimated at $180 million. The management's response to these challenges and how a culture of innovation emerged from that can teach us several important lessons. Pertinent questions are as follows: (a) How can we evaluate the innovation process undertaken by CRH? and (b) What was the impact of the organization innovation and flood crisis on shaping CRH's culture?

Abstract:
Background In healthcare facilities, the significance of sensitive architecture cannot be overstated. In regions facing challenges such as Egypt, the healthcare sector is grappling with deteriorating conditions. The design of hospitals is crucial for addressing the needs of patients with varying illnesses and for creating an environment that fosters psychological well-being. The interior design process, especially the selection of materials, plays a pivotal role in ensuring a hygienic and safe environment within healthcare facilities. Walls, floors, ceilings, and furniture materials are key elements that contribute to the overall design. A study was conducted to investigate the application of nano materials in healthcare facility interior design in Egypt. Methods The study involved first a literature review on nano technology and its application in healthcare interior spaces. It culminated in a framework and guidelines for nano materials in different hospital zones. The analytical part of the study analysed successful international examples, leading to a checklist of nanomaterials categorized by hospital zones. The third part involved a base case study in Alexandria, Egypt, simulating the impact of nano coatings on air temperature, radiant temperature, and relative humidity using the DesignBuilder software. Results The results demonstrated a positive impact on patient health and thermal comfort with nano materials. The use of nano coatings in interior design finishes resulted in decreases in air temperature, radiant temperature, and relative humidity. There was an average decrease of 12.3%-16.7% in air temperature, 3%-4.2% in radiant temperature, and 7%-12% in relative humidity throughout the year. Conclusions The study highlighted the effectiveness of nano technology in enhancing the interior finishes of healthcare buildings, leading to improved patient health, thermal comfort, and decreased infection spread rate. We provide valuable recommendations for optimizing material selection in existing hospital buildings in emphasizing potential benefits of nano materials in healthcare facility design.

Abstract:
The Student Health Services is located in Henderson Hall, a complex consisting of several buildings constructed at various times. Three other departments share this complex. Because of inadequate space and a building layout which does not easily accommodate the Health Services’ function, a study was completed to determine needs of the facility, and a final design solution was produced to supply the needs of the University, the Health Services and the community. Advantages of the existing location as well as the university master plan indicated keeping the facility in the same area. But problems created by the layout and shape of the present facility necessitate a new facility designed to increase both efficient handling of patient and staff flow as well as creating a positive image. The facility should communicate that it is a place for healing rather than a place for the sick. The new building ties into the existing complex creating a boundary between the University and the community, and creates a front facing the new student activities building. The original residence of the first College president will be restored to its original scale and identity by the removal of its present two additions.

Abstract:
Hospitals are constantly evolving to keep pace with the latest medical technologies. Whether it is a refurbishment of an existing facility or the addition of a new unit, the design process usually focuses on the technological requirements rather than the human elements of such an undertaking. The Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis presents an architectural opportunity to incorporate psychology of the environment into the design and construction of a new Cancer Unit. By balancing the technological requirements with the physical and psychological needs of the pediatric bone marrow transplant and hematology/oncology patients, one can create a healing environment more conducive to a rapid recovery.

Abstract:

Aggressive and violent behaviour in inpatient mental health facilities is found worldwide and is a frequent and serious clinical and nursing care problem. Despite the importance of international research findings and recommendations, it appears that patients perceptions of the possible contributing factors toward aggressive and violent behaviour in mental health facilities is an area of enquiry that has not been widely explored in South Africa in general, or in the Western Cape, in particular. It is against this background that this study endeavoured to investigate the external and situational contributing to patients aggressive and violent behaviour in mental health facilities in Cape Town, as seen from patients perspectives.

Abstract:
Background: To achieve better health outcomes it is important to identify those aspects of health care delivery system that determines patient satisfaction. The health care planners must therefore be cognizant of the opinions and expectations of those who utilize health care facilities to achieve better health outcomes. This also applies to maternal satisfaction. The study aimed to measure mothers satisfaction with maternity care and its association with various socio-demographic characteristics. Method: The study presented here is a quantitative cross-sectional study that utilizes secondary data from facility-based survey conducted in 12 different tertiary hospitals of Nepal and included client exit interviews  (n=43756). The maternal satisfaction association with different exposures and potential confounders was determined using multivariate logistic regression analysis. Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used for data analysis. Results:. Better information and counselling is seen to be associated with higher satisfaction and recommendation [AOR: 1.67 [1.60-1.75]] and [1.68[1.57-1.80], respectively. Higher level of delivery preparation indicates lower overall satisfaction [AOR: 0.70 [0.66-0.74]]. Mothers were seen to be less satisfied with the religious and cultural aspects of the maternal health services. Mothers age and sex of child was not seen to be significant with any outcome. Conclusion: Better information and counselling indicates more satisfaction and recommendation. Mothers delivery preparation is seen as a significant predictor of their overall satisfaction; therefore, this should be a part of education and information strategy for mothers from the different backgrounds.

Abstract:
The operational phase of a real estate asset accounts for approximately 80% of the overall investment and management costs throughout the entire life cycle of the building, and the activities of space management and monitoring of building components and systems play a crucial role in ensuring the well-being and health of users. The AECO (Architecture, Engineering, Construction, and Operation) industry is transitioning towards a new framework governed by data-driven processes. In this context, Building Information Modeling (BIM) can support the utilization of big data generated throughout different stages of the building's life cycle, thereby establishing itself as a dynamic repository of information at the center of a constellation of systems used by a Facility Management body to achieve specific objectives (such as CAFM, ERP, BMS, etc.). The proposed study aims to define a processing framework for the collection and management of data aimed at the implementation of DT of existing real estate assets, created based on the integration between BIM platforms and IoT technology oriented to subsequent developments of big data analytics and AI applications. The objective is to support in the operational phase of buildings the decisions of the various operators involved in planning scheduled and/or corrective maintenance actions and to generate content, recommendations, best practices by formulating predictive analysis on managed assets. In particular, a critical analysis is made of the various approaches available for the definition of an IT architecture to support IoT reference models, which will find application in the monitoring of some existing assets of the University of Florence's real estate managed by the Building Area, digitally implemented on a BIM platform. The contribution is part of a broader research activity carried out as part of the PNR Project, "BIM2DT.

Abstract:
AbstractCOVID-19 disrupted existing processes and accelerated the rethinking of healthcare spaces, functions, and model of care, stressing the ineffectiveness of the territorial health network in the Italian National Health System (NHS). Within the framework of European Recovery Plan (Next Generation EU), Italy’s Piano Nazionale di Ripresa e Resilienza (PNRR) allocated €15.63 Bn in the Mission 6 “Health” to strengthen proximity networks, facilities, and telemedicine for territorial healthcare. Aware of the importance that the physical built environment plays in the process of care delivery and health promotion and prevention, €3 Bn has been allocated to the planning, design, and construction of two new low-care typologies in a vision of person-centered healthcare: the Community Home (Casa della Comunità-CdC), and the Community Hospital (Ospedale di Comunità-OdC). It has been estimated that 795 new CdCs and 381 new OdCs will completed before 2026 as novel buildings or renovation of existing healthcare facilities. Although in European context several best practices are present in terms of integration of healthcare architectures into the urban context (Spanish Health Centers or Swedish Primary Care Centers), the Italian experience is generally outdated, with some regional exceptions; there is the need to understand the architectural characteristics of such new typologies. Therefore, the aim of the paper is to shed light on the spatial, functional, technological, and organizational needs and requirements of CdC and OdCs and to map the different regional requirements in a systematic and structured framework. The methods adopted in the study include a review of national and regional guidelines, data collection from National agency for regional health services (AGENAS) databases, and comparison matrix development of the different requirements in Italian regions. The results will highlight technological and architectural implications of territorial health centers implementation.

Abstract:
Various studies highlight a gap on reliable methods to measure the quality of projects and environments in terms of Universal Design (UD) and Design for All (DfA). In particular, healthcare facilities need decision support systems to improve the well-being of as many users as possible through a systematic approach. The present research proposes an evaluation tool to support designers and decision makers in the adoption of UD to develop healthcare facilities suitable for a wide range of users. Several methodologies have been adopted: an in-depth literature review on the current state of knowledge on UD evaluation, workshops and focus groups with both users and experts, and the analysis of four hospital case studies. The result was an evaluation framework built by using a Multi-criteria Analysis (MCA) methodology. The first version of the tool was applied to an American hospital and validated d in an Italian pilot case study. The research outlines a tool called Design for All A.U.D.I.T., able to evaluate Physical, Sensory-cognitive, and Social qualities based on a hierarchical framework with criteria and indicators based on UD and DfA. The framework evaluates the different areas of the hospital from outdoor to indoor spaces, allowing hospital administrators to act to improve the well-being of users according to the critical aspects of UD identified by the tool. The analysis provides a report of the facility status and design strategies to support designers for new projects or buildings renovations. The application shows that DfA A.U.D.I.T. can assess hospitals by examining both spatial qualities and DfA criteria. The tool could represent a decision support system in the national and international context, where many hospitals are not newly built. Further research will include application in different facilities and building typologies, aided by the flexible structure of the tool, which allows measurement of the environment’s quality in terms of DfA and UD.

Full text
Abstract:
Antibiotic stewardship plays an important role in controlling antibiotic resistance. The problem of antibiotic resistance in primary healthcare has not been given much attention, so far, the focus has been on the hospital. Antibiotic resistance control needs to start from primary healthcare facilities such as community health centers, clinics, and independent doctor practices because patients who enter the hospital are often already resistant. Therefore, it is necessary to identify things that can be done to control antibiotic resistance in primary health care facilities. Things that can be done include making policies or regulations that support antibiotic stewardship in primary healthcare, optimizing available facilities and infrastructure, improving facilities that support antibiotic stewardship, increasing capable human resources, monitoring and evaluating antibiotic prescribing, and building system information on antibiotic resistance that is easily accessible to health workers in primary health care facilities.

Abstract:
Managing is one of the most vital and significant human activities. Health care management roles are crucial to the overall operations of the health care system. Healthcare administration and management is the process of overseeing a healthcare system and the delivery of healthcare services. The reason this is such an important discipline is that healthcare administrators are essentially responsible for ensuring the continuation of healthcare delivery. The healthcare system offers four broad types of services: health promotion, disease prevention, diagnosis and treatment, and rehabilitation. Healthcare management is exactly what the name implies. It’s the overall management of a healthcare facility, such as a clinic or hospital. A person in charge of healthcare management oversees the day-to-day operations of the facility. “Healthcare management” is an umbrella term that covers a wide variety of job titles. Clinical directors, healthcare supervisors, health coordinators, and nursing home facilitators often have degrees in healthcare management. And while you may think of healthcare managers as people who work at hospitals or in private practice, they may also work at colleges or universities, public health centers, urgent care clinics, insurance companies, or pharmaceutical companies

Abstract:
Abstract Hospitals are among the most energy-intensive commercial buildings in the service industry and their energy demand is characterized by specific features, being operative 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Moreover, several activities performed inside the building require strict control of the indoor climate conditions to ensure comfort and security standards. Often, they present complex HVAC systems that need various energy forms like electricity and thermal energy in the form of hot water, chilled water and steam. Consequently, hospitals and healthcare facilities are ideal application to exploit the cogeneration systems potential. Indeed, the number of hospitals using CHP systems has grown steadily in past years. Hospitals that use CHP take advantage of favourable rate structures and protect themselves from rising electricity prices. Since CHP uses waste heat to produce thermal energy for heating and cooling, hospitals using CHP systems are more energy-efficient, leading also to a reduction of the global emissions connected to the hospital activity. The present study involves the development of a numerical model of the gas turbine-based cogeneration system installed in a hospital facility. The realized model has been used to define the system management strategies that enabled two achievements. The minimization of the main global emissions parameters of the system as CO and NOx and the maximization of operational CHP parameters as total efficiency and primary energy saving (PES). The present work describes in detail the realized model and its exploitation, leading to define the optimal system management strategy based on control parameters applicable to the real test case management system.

Full text
Abstract:
Healthcare architecture has become an increasingly specialized field, marked by a complex interaction between people, operations and the physical environment and an ever changing landscape of regulation and reimbursement. Patient safety is often considered in a behavioral context – what can someone do differently to improve outcomes? However, as a complex system of interactions, patient safety is better advanced through a systems-thinking lens of Human Factors/Ergonomics (HFE). Attaianese and Duca commented on the use of HFE principles in design, stating that, “when the system is the built environment, the systemic approach requires that designers move from an attention exclusively reserved for building functions towards the set of actions that users actually perform and that building has to support.” This paper reports the development of a proactive Safety Risk Assessment (SRA) tool which will contribute to the 2014 Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI) Guidelines for the Design and Construction of Hospitals and Outpatient Facilities. Six hazard areas have been considered as underlying conditions to injury or harm in the design of healthcare environments: 1) Hospital Associated Infections, 2) Falls/Immobility, 3) Medication Safety, 4) Patient Handling, 5) Security, and 6) Behavioral Health/Psychiatric Injury. These categories have been developed using iterative cycles of Delphi and nominal group methods to achieve consensus of categories and question sets for inclusion in the SRA.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper presents a novel probabilistic performance-based monitoring approach for high-resolution seismic damage assessment and resilience quantification in instrumented buildings. The objective is to estimate seismic loss and functionality metrics, which can be integrated into multi-disciplinary community resilience models consisting of interdependent physical, social, and economic metrics. The proposed methodology begins with optimal sensor placement to measure the seismic response of an instrumented building. Then, a structural model-sensor data fusion is implemented using a nonlinear model-based observer to obtain reconstructed engineering demand parameters (REDP) and their estimation uncertainty. The mean and dispersion of REDPs are employed to quantify probabilistic seismic loss consistent with FEMA P-58 methodology, estimating downtime and total loss, which are two necessary parameters for creating component-based functionality curves. These curves define resilience as a function of loss due to extreme events and provide the necessary metrics for linking engineering models with social and economic impact models to estimate multi-disciplinary resilience metrics. The proposed methodology is demonstrated using data obtained from full-scale seismic testing of a wood-frame building conducted at the E-Defense facility in Japan.

Abstract:
Achieving energy efficiency in buildings is an important factor in developed and as well in developing countries in order to meet its energy demand. Over the past few years, a number of reports have been emerged stating that the buildings sectors are responsible for approximately 31% of global final energy demand. Buildings account for 35% of total final energy consumption in India and building energy consumption is growing about 8% per years. Final energy demand in Indian building sector will grow up-to five times by the end of this century, driven by rapid income and population growth. Hospitals are institutions for the care of people with health problems and are usually functional 24hrs a day, all year around, which demands a lot of energy. Health sector is one of the largest and fastest growing sectors in India. By 2020, it is expected to become a $ 280 billion industry. In India hospitals contribute 23% of total energy consumption and the hospital building growth rate 12–15% in last decade. The World Health Organization estimated that India need 80,000 additional hospital beds every year to meet the demands of India’s population. The aim of this study is to assess the energy demand, energy savings & reduced greenhouse gas emissions by increasing the energy efficiency using advanced retrofitting. Bottom-Up Energy Analysis System (BUENAS) is an end use energy demand projection model for Hospital buildings in India, to normalize the assessment of energy-saving models also going to fill the gap in energy demand reduction by energy system modeling and decomposition analysis. Energy efficiency retrofitting of existing buildings plays a major role in developing country like India in order improve its energy security and minimizing the greenhouse gases. The positive effects of retrofitting of energy efficiency and need the policies and target base proposal for government intention to achieve the potential for energy efficiency are discussed.

Abstract:
There is only one nuclear power plant in Lithuania — Ignalina NPP (INPP). The INPP operates two similar units with present power level of about 1250 MW(e) each. They were commissioned (first grid connection) in 1983 and 1987 respectively and provide approximately 70–80 per cent of the electricity produced in Lithuania. From the beginning of INPP operation all power plant generated solid radwaste is collected and stored in the solid radwaste facility that is located in INPP sanitary protected area. The storage facility for solid radwaste at INPP consists of four above ground buildings, namely buildings No. 155, No. 155/1, No. 157 and No. 157/1. This facility is Soviet type facility designed for the interim storage of low and intermediate level radwaste arising as a consequence of operation of NPP. The institutional waste from industry, hospitals etc., including sealed sources as well, has been stored in this facility from 1990. At present this radioactive waste storage facility is still not licensed but SAR is prepared and licensing process is going on. The paper provides information on INPP solid radwaste storage facility and discusses problems met during the safety assessment of this facility: lack of the information on the inventory data, lack of design data for the buildings etc. Modeling results of the structural analysis, radiological data, shielding analysis and proposals to improve the safety of the facility also are discussed.

Abstract:
Hospitals operation is becoming a major focusing points on China as there is a huge market because of aging population. The management of healthcare institute is crucial as it contains operational activities that can be harmful to public health such as medical waste as well as medical equipment that has to be maintained timely. In particular with the pandemic COVID-19 situation, the maintenance of the medical equipment is the foundation to ensure the healthcare service can operate functionally. Hence, this research is focusing on how medical facilities are being managed in Chinese healthcare institute as well as to understand whether and how BIM can impact healthcare facility management. A mixed methodology was used to interview facility managers in the province of East China region during COVID-19 period. The result of this research shows that by adopting BIM, the quality and efficiencies of facility management for key hazard assets in hospitals can be improved in principle because of the large amount of asset data and hospitals' information.

Abstract:
Based on the Regulation of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia Number 54 of 2015, it is stated that medical devices in hospitals need to be calibrated or tested at least one time period in 1 year by the health facility testing center. However, radiation PPE testing or commonly referred to as personal protective equipment from radiation exposure, has not been registered in any health facility testing center. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the owner of the radiation PPE to carry out periodic maintenance and testing so that the performance of the PPE is maintained and monitored, in this case, the hospital in each agency that has radiation PPE. Medical Physicists and Radiation Protection Officers play an essential role in this process directly in the field. This paper will discuss how to treat radiation PPE in Radiology by a medical physicist who works at the Radiology agency at Mitra Keluarga Hospital, Kelapa Gading. Radiation PPE care includes the placement of suitable PPE and routine testing, which is carried out regularly once a year or if needed according to the Decree of the Minister of Health of the Republic of Indonesia No. 1250 of 2009. The results of radiation PPE treatment will obtain an excellent place to put PPE and will monitor performance. Therefore, each radiation PPE owned can optimally reduce or protect body organs from radiation exposure. Keywords: personal protective equipment, PPE care

Full text
Abstract:
Hospitable City is a radical design experience between research and pedagogy that addresses the theme of the reuse of large historic buildings. Hospitable City is not merely intended to be a way to adapt old buildings for new purposes. Rather, it is an opportunity to develop new strategies that might link the city and its citizens to abandoned or underused spaces committed to health, well-being, and improved sociality. Hospitable City tackles these issues, focusing on the case study of a late neoclassical nineteenth-century hospital in Cagliari, the principal city of Sardinia. The Hospitable City strategy assumes that buildings like old hospitals, prisons, courts, markets, and other civic types of the nineteenth-century bourgeois city, generally separated from the host context, might be integrated with the city on a symbolic and functional level. They might be reimagined open and in continuity with surroundings, not as cities within cities, introverted complex nuclei, but extensions of the urban realm, permeable, welcoming, and hospitable civitas. Two main actions summarize the strategy. The first one is opening the building to the city, creating new physical connections and routes, and reconfiguring uses calibrated to the urban environment’s current needs. The second action strictly depends on the first one. It involves reading the hospital as an organism with urban characteristics—in some ways a mirror and extension of the city—composed of parts with partial autonomy. With this approach, it is possible to study and implement the reuse in separate phases, programmatically defined and activated at different times. In the Cagliari hospital case, we worked with students in the last year of their master’s university career to experiment with new possibilities for redefining spatiality on the ground floor. This paper presents the ideas emerging from the teaching activity and outlines a position discussing cultural and theoretical implications of adaptive reuse of historic underused buildings.

Full text
Abstract:
Population aging and the growing burden of chronic disease are causing many countries to explore new options as they reorganize their health systems from acute care toward increased chronic care provision. There are several modalities to deliver recuperative intermediate care at a level between the hospital and primary care, but some patients will require a bed-based solution. For these individuals, inpatient non-acute facilities may provide superior outcomes at a lower cost than traditional care on a hospital ward. The international literature regarding this type of service reveals positive findings on provider and patient satisfaction, clinical outcomes, and cost-effectiveness. However, to achieve the best possible results, providers must establish and apply appropriate procedures for the identification of eligible patients, exercise rigorous protocols during their transfer, and ensure their comprehensive assessment and adhesion to a therapeutic plan managed by a multidisciplinary team. For developing countries considering the formulation of policies to promote the implementation of intermediate care facilities, Brazil's recent experience may offer a point of reference and some guidance, especially in terms of reconditioning small community hospitals with excess capacity for this purpose.

Abstract:
Evidence from a number of studies globally has shown a reduction in maternal and perinatal mortality when women have a skilled attendant present at birth. In Kenya, a skilled attendant assists at only 42 percent of births. In Central Province, over 70 percent deliver with a skilled attendant compared to 28 percent in Western Province. Results from one district in Western Province where midwives were given the necessary equipment and support to assist women during birth at home, showed a significant increase in home births attended by skilled health workers between 2001 and 2003 and a similar decrease in utilization of traditional birth attendants. As noted in this brief, this an indication that skilled attendance in the community is possible and a good alternative for women who are unable to reach a health facility. Building on these results, a Community Midwifery Model was developed that focuses on empowering midwives living in the community to assist women during pregnancy, childbirth, and the postpartum period in their homes, manage minor complications, and facilitate referral when necessary and transfer to the hospital.
