Speaker(s)
Description
This session will demystify key challenges, synergies, and opportunities for bringing light and nature, not only into patient rooms, but also into public spaces, waiting areas, D&T spaces, courtyards, and staff areas. Presenters will share an integrated, analysis-based approach to achieving daylight in most regularly occupied spaces. Doing so successfully truly takes a village, requiring close collaboration between the client and full consultant team. This multidisciplinary group will build a case for (and demonstrate success) using a combination of tools such as energy modeling, daylight modeling, landscape design, wayfinding, lighting design, medical planning strategy, and operational feedback from hospital administrators.
Tracks:
Learning Objectives
• Identify strategies to overcome potential barriers to providing daylight and views throughout a healthcare facility.
• Incorporate lessons learned and feedback from hospital administrators that incorporate expansive daylight and views into future design.
• Evaluate the role of façade assemblies and product selection in successful daylighting design.
• Balance potentially competing sustainability goals, including daylight and views, thermal comfort, visual comfort, and energy efficiency.
