Newham University Hospital Maternity and New Born Unit Location: London Client: Newham University Hospital (Relabond) Contractor: Osborne Architect: Murphy Phillips Project Size: £10 Million
The project involved the redevelopment of an operational facility in the existing building, and a new “in fill” extension of part of the internal courtyard for use as the Maternity and New-Born Department. This included extensive phased refurbishment of 2 floors of 2 wings of the existing hospital building, to create a new women’s services department. Key to the project was providing a dynamic and comfortable feeling setting the standard for Maternity facilities. Critically, the works were undertaken in a live hospital environment and provision of the new department with outpatients assessment rooms, delivery suites, and nursery was introduced without reducing the critical operation of the 24/7 facilities. The team carefully phased the project to maintain operation of the main hospital facilities. This required detailed investigation and analysis of the adjacent wards to the existing services. Surveys found the existing services fed more than one ward and that substantial ventilation heating and electrical services were needed to be maintained operational to service the adjacent wards. When works on the services within the hospital street ceiling void were required. An innovative “Zip-up” panelling system was used to ensure safe working and clean hygienic separation was maintained between the works and the patients.
and BREEAM advice. Services included medical gases, communication room cooling and air conditioning of the ground floors. An essential part of the successful outcome of this project was the collaborative and close working practices with both the M&E subcontractors and the client stakeholders. Key building systems such as the water services were upgraded as well as hot water distribution and safe TMV3 blending. To enhance comfort and reduce visual and physical impact radiant ceiling panels were utilised throughout the common areas.
Elementa provided full design services for the mechanical, electrical and public health services on this project along with energy monitoring

American University of Beirut Medical Centre Location: Beirut, Lebanon Client: Dar Al-Handasah Architect: Perkins + Will Chicago Project Size: £100 Million
Located southeast of the main American University of Beirut (AUB) campus, the new Medical Centre is uniquely positioned at the confluence of interdependent education, research and patient care programmes. The medical centre is designed to house four distinct healthcare sectors, including a children’s hospital, cancer centre, adult inpatient tower and new procedure spaces.
At the beginning on the design process, an energy benchmarking study and choose by advantage process were key in establishing clear goals and reasonable targets. For Elementa’s team to valuably contribute in enhancing the building design and performance, key local and regional issues were researched, discussed and understood. Beirut’s hot and humid climate makes the building envelope critical and therefore extra care and attention and early design work has been critical to produce a resource efficient medical centre with project goals of achieving LEED Gold (aspiring Platinum) accreditation.
Collaborating with Perkins + Will Chicago and Dar Al-Handasah Beirut teams, Elementa developed an integrated building design strategy for the new hospital with a clear focus on outcome goals. Elementa worked through the building design parameters from the inside out, and the outside in, analysing the impact of design decisions on patient and practitioner experience to deliver a high functioning and high performance building. The integrated design aims to achieve the following goals: • • • •
Improved patient outcomes and experience Improved practitioner experience, alertness and comfort Improved resiliency in typical (daily + seasonal) Beirut conditions: power cuts, quality and availability of ‘potable’ water; ultimate failure mode from an earthquake or conflict Reduce the project measured; Carbon footprint, energy and water consumption

Finchley Memorial Hospital Location: Finchley Client: Barnet, Enfield & Haringey LIFT Elevate Partnerships (Assura) Contractor: Galliford Try Partnerships Architect: Murphy Philips Project Size: £32 million BREEAM Rating: Excellent Finchley Memorial Hospital is a 9800m2 new build community hospital comprising intermediate care facilities, renal dialysis units, outpatients department, rehabilitation unit, diagnostics, infusion unit and GP practices. This facility provides a Primary Care Facility and community hospital with stroke rehabilitation facilities. Elementa’s work included the design of all mechanical, electrical and public health services and sustainability engineering design. A BREEAM ‘excellent’ rating has been achieved and the client brief is a 25 year life span. SHINE, the learning network for sustainable healthcare buildings is involved in the development and had set an energy target of 35 GJ/100m3/ annum. To achieve the required rating and energy target, Elementa performed Dynamic Thermal Modelling of the building to achieve best energy efficiency, led energy workshops and undertook feasibility studies. Applying knowledge and expertise we were able to propose the optimum solutions, and address a number of issues including; assessing alternative design and ventilation strategies, diagnosing overheating problems, exploring potential improvement options, evaluating the implications of EPCs for new buildings and assessing the energy performance
Elementa, working closely with the design team, have provided energy options including: rain water harvesting, ground source heat pump with inverters, air to air heat pumps, natural ventilation via passive stack in large communal areas, solar photo voltaics, CHP, low flow taps / toilets and energy efficient lighting. Winner of Best Design at the Partnership Bulletin Awards 2013.

Cheltenham General Hospital St. Luke’s Phase II
with full glass walls fronting isolation and single ward bays. Computer modelling was used to test visibility. No compromise to infection control. High quality internal environment maximising daylighting and natural ventilation.
Location: Cheltenham Client: Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust Contractor: Costain Architect: CODA Project Size: £13.3 million
This project involved the creation of a new three level facility dedicated to critical care and rehabilitation at Cheltenham General Hospital incorporating isolation units, that connected into the existing live building. As an infill building, the project presented specific obstacles regarding maximising light and ventilation. Our work on this project included provision of all mechanical, electrical, public health and energy engineering services ensuring that all HTM’s and HBN’s were adhered to including a range of low energy strategies to ensure compliance with NHS carbon guidelines. To ensure high levels of cleanliness we sort to ensure that the contractors were mindful of taking into account ceiling voids, sealing of services in voids, partitioning of spaces efficiently, we fed into these processes proactively to obtain maximum benefits. Delivery of CCU Level 1 and CCU Level 2. Integral blinds were used in glass walls and windows provide maximum infection control, while maintaining balance between patient privacy and effective clinical monitoring. Windows were designed to give natural ventilation to both the Rehabilitation and Stroke wards. Computer modelling to define maximum summer temperatures meant the Trust can stay within NHS energy targets. In order to maximise daylight, bedrooms were pushed to the outside of the envelope with inboard en-suite bathrooms on single bed wards. Incorporating a central courtyard within the upper wards created a light well for the CCU below. Establishment of clear sight lines to all CCU patient heads resulted in a centralised dual aspect nursing base
As an infill building, between two existing and fully operational buildings, the project presented specific obstacles regarding maximising light and ventilation. The correct floor level had to be established to minimise ramping between three adjoining buildings with differing floor heights. The service ducts of these buildings meant some cantilevered construction was required. The key challenges also were to establish the site services that ran across the site that was previously a car park then get them re -routed that included a mains cable, gas supply to a boiler house and steam pipes. We plotted them on plans from surveys and advised on alternative routes and solutions. Picking up existing services routes for medical gases etc from adjacent buildings and adapting them to suit the new scheme. The lessons learnt from this project were many but the most important was how to utilize the NEC 3 contract to the benefit of all of the parties, via early warning notices, to manage site issues of discovered services, and change control in due time and establish costed solutions. With the ethos of a collaborative working regimen the project was delivered on time within the GMP price. And the close working relationship with the estates department.

Brierley Hill Health Centre Location: Brierley Hill Client: Dudley South PCT & Infracare Contractor: Carillion Regional Building Architect: Steffian Bradley Associates Project Size: £27 million
This project is a new 118,000 ft² Health Centre including doctor’s primary care practices, dental practices, pharmaceutical, opticians & other retail including an underground car park. It was originally envisaged that this facility would be a fully mechanically ventilated building, at the early stages of the design Elementa carefully analysed the layout and room adjacencies to determine whether the reliance on full mechanical ventilation was necessary. Detailed thermal modelling demonstrated that by re-arranging internal spaces, 50% of the building could be naturally ventilated. This resulted in significant capital cost reduction, an improved internal environment for users, reduction in plant space & major savings in maintenance and life– cycle costs. This project went on to win the Design Award at the National LIFT Awards. Our work on this project included provision of all mechanical, electrical and above-ground-drainage design. Energy saving strategies included low energy lighting and maximisation of natural daylight; dynamic thermal modelling to utilise the form of the building; and a natural ventilation strategy that ensured the building complied with the NHS’s stringent internal environment policy.
