Advanced Energy Design for Hospitals: Theory and Application
Sponsor: 09.06 Healthcare Facilities
Chair: Bob Gulick, P.E., Member, Mazzetti Nash Lipsey Burch, Portland, OR
Significant strides have been made in how to design hospitals for significant energy reduction; however, the hospital design profession has been slow to embrace these new strategies. By communicating the theory and a successful case study, this seminar can be a catalyst to accelerate energy reduction in hospitals.

2. Targeting 100!
Heather Burpee, University of Washington Integrated Design Lab, Seattle, WA
The University of Washington’s Integrated Design Lab, in collaboration with a team of experts in design, engineering, operations and hospital ownership have developed research directed at much higher performing buildings – targeting both energy performance and interior environmental quality, for little capital investment. This research provides a structure at a schematic design level for hospital owners, architects and engineers. It offers access to design strategies and the cost implications of those strategies for new hospitals to utilize 60% less energy. The research report is a tool and for moving energy efficiency goals forward in project teams.
3. The Advanced Energy Design Guide for Large Hospitals
Shanti D. Pless, Member, National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, CO
The 50% Advanced Energy Design Guide for Large Hospitals is intended to provide user-friendly, “how-to” design guidance and efficiency recommendations for large healthcare buildings. Application of the recommendations in the guide should results in facilities that consume 50% less energy than conventional hospitals defined by the minimum requirements ofANSI/ASRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2004. This ASHRAE publication is a virtual encyclopedia of design measures that can be applied effectively. The better designers understand the tools in the guideline, the better prepared they will be to address current design approaches.
4. Small Hospital, Big Idea: Case Study
Arash Guity, P.E., Member, M+NLB, San Francisco, CA
The co-winning submission for the Kaiser Small Hospital Big Idea design competition created a rational process to implement energy reduction measures into an otherwise complex energy consumption environment. With systems simplified and energy dramatically reduced from a 263 kbtu/sf/yr baseline to 68 kbtu/sf/yr, applying alternative energy source to achieve net zero or better was simpler and more cost effective. Optimizing the mix of alternative energy sources is a separate step by step methodology. The same building on a different site will have a different alternative energy mix. However, the method to determine the mix is the same.
