Abstract
The problems of necessity of sustainable and ecological approaches in architectural design of hospitals are raised in the research. The best international experience of designing and operating hospitals designed on the principles of sustainable development is considered. Examples and implementation examples of healthcare institutions integrating energy efficient technologies are analyzed and illustrated: natural ventilation, solar panels, rainwater collection, filtration and reuse of wastewater, greening of the roof and walls, sun protection, aerodynamic volumetric and spatial form. Studying and using the proven experience of the best examples of ecological hospital buildings, recognized and certified at the highest levels of the world institutions for the development of a sustainable future, will allow Ukraine to create the conditions for solving the crisis both in the sphere of health care and in the ecologically preserved environment of the country.
Highlights
In modern civilization, nearly half of the total energy consumption in developed countries falls on architectural buildings and a fourth on transport
An understanding of the harmony of the environment and the modern architecture of healthcare facilities should be reflected in the emergence of health care projects that integrate best practices in energy-efficient construction, opening a new page in the evolution of architectural design in health care facilities and in the overall history of world design and construction
From the perspective of sustainable future architecture for reconstruction and new development at Ukrainian healthcare institutions, it is advisable to refer to the design and operation experience of architecturalenvironmental complex of Ng Teng Fong Innovative Singapore Hospital (NTFGH) and Jurong Public Hospital (JCH), which have received numerous awards in energy competitions, ratings and certifications and energy efficiency and certification designing health facilities worldwide (Fig. 6)
Summary
Nearly half of the total energy consumption in developed countries falls on architectural buildings and a fourth on transport From this point of view, the role of the architect in the design of buildings for various purposes, including medical, in the issue of a sustainable future world, individual state or human settlement, is quite significant. Outlined issues are of particular importance in the context of designing healthcare facilities in Ukraine This is due to the prolonged economic and energy crisis in our country, as well as the fact that most of the architectural and urban system of medical establishments in Ukraine was built in a typical industrial way in Soviet times and today in all respects contradicts energy-efficient requirements as domestic and the world (Fig. 3, Fig. 4, Fig. 5) [4,5,6,7].
