description: ENERGETIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL OPERATIONAL HOSPITAL BUILDINGS ASSESSMENT. CRITERIA, INDICATORS AND VERIFICATION METHODS. Author: Teresa Pochettino. Tutor: Prof. Ing. C. Caldera, Co-Tutor: Prof. Ing. S. Corgnati, Prof. Arch. S. Belforte, Lighting External supervisor: Prof. Arch. C. Aghemo, Arch. V. Lo Verso. RESEARCH THEME INTRODUCTION: The acute hospital constitutes a complex organizational and functional system that it is not possible to standardize according to the typology, the architectural solutions and the plant characteristics. The functional areas the hospital consists of represent both a working place for the staff people (medical, administrative and technical employees), and a living environment, for the patients. Sometimes the different categories overlay, which results in conflicting requirements. The Italian national scene is characterized by very old health care buildings (more than 60% achieved before 1970) subject to, during the course of the years, numerous interventions (on buildings systems, components and plants) characterized by partial visions (mainly focused on the aim of "humanization") and by a sector-based planning, in which medical requirements and demands have being prevailing. Economic resources absorbed by hospital settlements represent an average of 50% of the economic expenses allocated by the different European Countries for the health care costs. The energy consumption costs, despite their amount, have in this panorama an average of 2 -2.5% of the total management expenses, which are mainly absorbed by the staff salaries. The hospital resources consumption and emissions footprints have found, over the last years, great interest in many international and national research projects which showed the opportunity of producing significant energy savings and economic and environmental benefits. The reasons for this attention are mainly due to the awareness that the huge consumptions and the significant environment impact may offer a great pot…
