Objectives
The
project was launched
to improve energy performance of hospital buildings in Europe and to
disseminate the most beneficial innovative technologies for new build
and refurbished hospitals. Build Health promotes Integrated Energy
Design and puts emphasis on maximizing the use of primary and
renewable energy. The key innovative elements are:
-
energy efficient
ventilation concepts and methods
-
measures
for utilisation of daylight (roof lights, light ducts, lights
shelves)
-
lighting
control systems and energy efficient light sources
-
solar
technologies for heating and cooling, hot water and electricity
-
environmental
sustainability design tools aiming at increasing the use of
environmentally friendly building materials
-
advanced
energy control and information systems
The
hospitals will be able to use the money saved thanks to energy
efficiency on improving the quality of their services. International
team of experts has prepared guidelines for redevelopment of three
European hospitals participating in the project. These are:
The
results of demonstration projects, reports from their realization and
lessons learned will be widely disseminated in Europe. National
