PROCEDURE ROOM Procedure Room

Project Overview

The Center for Infectious Disease and Emergency Care at the St. Boniface Hospital in Fond Des Blancs Haiti is a 36 bed inpatient/outpatient facility designed for the treatment and isolation of infectious diseases and emergency care. The facility was designed with two main programmatic functions, the North wing is dedicated to isolation and tuberculosis inpatient treatment while the South wing is dedicated to emergency care.

How We Design

CIDEC | St. Boniface Hospital

Location: With a population of 110,000 inhabitants, Fond-des-Blancs is a communal section located in the Sud department of Haiti in the Aquin Arrondissement. It is located approximately 77.85 miles (125.3 km) from Port-au-Prince, the country’s capital. The roads leading to Fond-des-Blancs are usually very congested and flooded. Les Cayes ( the third city of Haiti) is located 95 km (59 miles) West of Fonddes-Blancs on the southern coast. The public referral Hospital Immaculate Conception is located in Les Cayes. Due to flooding and financial concerns patients typically visiting the public hospital are being drawn to SBH facilities.

Haiti

The trip between the Capital and Fond-des-Blancs can be completed in 3 hours but may take upwards of 8 hours depending on the traffic and road conditions. Additionally, Tap-Taps are not in good enough condition to traverse the unpaved roads leading to Fond des Blancs. Thus, to make the trip from Miragoane to Fonddes-Blancs a bus, car or a moto is needed. Many patients at Saint Boniface hire “motos” to take them to and from the hospital to avoid walking the mountain road. Saint Boniface hospital operates the Villa Clinic east of Saint Boniface. The road conditions leading to the mountain town can be treacherous and not passable in hard rain. This clinic acts as a satellite location to the Saint Boniface Hospital providing healthcare to an extremely remote region that was greatly affected by hurricanes.

Site Conditions: One of the keys to exploit local environmental resources and influence energy-related factors such as daylight, solar heat gains and ventilation is the use of site analysis. Haiti’s climate is generally hot and humid. Its climate is pretty consistent through out the year. Its tropical climate is split in two seasons, dry (November through March) with January being the driest month, and rainy (April through October). The average annual rainfall is 140 to 200 centimeters, but it is unevenly

distributed. Heavier rainfall occurs in the southern peninsula and in the northern plains and mountains. Temperatures are almost always high in the lowland areas, ranging from 15 °C to 25 °C (60 °F to 77 °F) in the winter and from 25°C to 35°C (77 °F to 95 °F) during the summer. The consistency of Haiti’s tropical weather allows for a more flexible design, yet weather-wise it requires extra ventilation and more economical energy system as the electricity cost in Haiti is 10 times the electricity cost in the US. The country is also prone to earthquakes, hurricanes and floods.

Slope Direction

Topography: The Topography of Haiti can be characterized as mountainous with steep valleys and the occasional large plateau. The town of Fond Des Blancs in Haiti is a particularly challenging site nested into a steep slope. The CIDEC building sits on a flattened area of the site with small retaining walls South and West. The slope on site has a Southwest to Northeast directionality with the steepest point on site towards the south.

Predominant Wind Direction Secondary Wind Direction

Prevailing Winds: The predominant wind direction for Fond Des Blancs, Haiti is from the Southeast, with secondary winds coming from the east. To maximize natural ventilation buildings should be oriented perpendicular from 0Â° to 30Â° with respect to the prevailing wind direction. It is preferable to orient the longer facades of the building towards predominant wind direction. CIDEC takes advantage of prevailing winds with its North-South orientation allowing for good cross ventilation.

The west facade faces the top of the pitch roof, this side may suffer from direct light during sunset and late afternoons which may increase the indoor temperature and cause undesirable lighting conditions. However, a large mango tree provides ample shading to a large area of the western exposure of the CIDEC which mitigates heat gain.

Jalousie Windows : The CIDEC implements the use of the Jalousie window, taking advantage of its operable louvers components and hammered glass elements which allow both diffused light for comfortable indoor conditions and adequate indoor air regeneration. Fixed Louvers: The CIDEC also has a series of fixed louvers at variable placements throughout the structure. Most of the fixed louvers are placed above or below the Jalousie Windows and are intended to provide natural ventilation. How We Design

CIDEC | St. Boniface Hospital

Airflow

The CIDEC facility implements the basic properties of thermodynamics by designing the CIDEC with pitched roofs and operable windows of variable size and placement as well as plenty of louvers to provide the interior of the building with a good quality of air and indoor temperature. The north south orientation of the building also reinforces the passive ventilation occurring on site.

Typical Airflow Condition: The pitched roof allows hot air to rise and follow the slope upward as it exits the building while being replaced by cooler and fresher air. Isolation rooms are required to have 12ACH per World Health Organization guidelines, these rooms are aided by mechanically operated fans and exhausts in order to maintain the necessary air-changes.

Forced Air / AC: The CIDEC also has a series of direct exhaust mechanical units and two air conditioners and condensers. Due to the need for pressure differentials between isolation rooms and wards A/C units and mechanical direct exhaust vents are implemented to ensure that air change pressures remain within the acceptable rate to reduce airborne disease. Ceiling Fans : The CIDEC facility applies the use of ceilings fans as primary mechanical system. Due to the high cost of electricity and the overall complexity of HVAC system installation in Haiti, ceiling fans as a method for regulating indoor air properties is preferable for its affordability and overall low maintenance and ease of repair. In the CIDEC ceiling fans are used to force hot hair up and out the pitched roof openings 11. Roof Mounted Air Condenser Unit

The Center for Infectious Disease and Emergency is mostly build using concrete CMU, bamboo and metal work are also part of this piece of architecture. The CIDEC is the first building by BHI that has utilized a sloped concrete

roof. While it has its benefits, it also has its challenges, which was realized during its construction. It was a bit complex to find out the maximum slope for each sloped roof. Louvers are a big part of the CIDEC design, and they allow constant airflow in the space. Some louvers are fixed, and others are operable. Metal work is used in waiting areas in order to allow passive airflow in congested spaces. The need for high quality airflow for those specific areas are extremely necessary, as its a very public place which would otherwise facilitate the spread of diseases like Diphtheria or tuberculosis. UV lighting is also used in the interior of the CIDEC to kill the bacteria in the air. Bamboo being extremely cheap and effective, is used as a space divider. The bamboo as been treated with a clear coat to extend its durability.

The CIDEC facility at the St. Boniface Hospital campus is constructed primarily of Concrete and CMU. The perimeter walls of the CIDEC are structural CMU supporting a large part of the roof system along with a series of columns. The interior walls of the CIDEC facility are mostly CFM stud walls. The use of stud walls in the interior has allowed for a space that in the future could be easily reconfigured or adapted. Walls can be removed and added without compromising the facilities structural integrity.

CMU: The Concrete Masonry Unit or CMU is used in this project selectively. As a unitized material CMU is easier and quicker to work with, Installation from skilled labor for working with CMU is readily available and is also to train.

Stud Walls: The CIDEC facility has taken advantage of a CFM stud wall system for interior partition walls. This allows wall systems inside the facility to be easily and quickly demolished or erected.

Electrical systems

Although sharing the island with neighboring Dominican Republic where most have access to electricity, Haiti has limited access to electricity where only 38% of Haitians in 2016 have a connection to the electrical grid, a small improvement from 28% of Haitians in 1990. Even those with access to the grid today still experience frequent blackouts and unreliable power quality. Electricity is necessary to power the hospital at night and for the medical equipment to operate. The CIDEC in the St. Boniface campus is not connected to the grid currently there is no access to an electrical grid in this part of Haiti, Fonds-des-Blancs is largely rural and remote. Thus, BHI utilized solar panels and generators as sources of energy. Even though the solar panels currently provides over 50% of the electrical power, the electricity in Haiti is still at a very high cost and unreliable.

CIDEC | St. Boniface Hospital

Plumbing Systems WATER Water is caught off site from the Spring water (natural resource). It is then pumped to a large cistern situated at the highest point of the site, which will be filtered and chlorinated and pimped into the CIDEC building. Water is also caught from a well (underground natural resource) then pumped into the cisterns on site. When the well water goes low, water is brought to the site by water trucks, sourced in the spring water if the pumps are not working. This water will be transported from the truck to the large cistern. The CIDECâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 24 sinks for a building of 7,500 sq ft. Thee sinks are in both the toilet rooms as well as throughout the clinical space. The hand-washing sinks in the clinical space are for hygiene purposes. There are 4 showers in the open emergency department ward. 2 are for men and 2 are for women. The showers are bucket showers to reduce the wasting of water during showers. Each Isolation room has access to a bucket shower and each of the larger multi bed isolation rooms has access to showers as well. Septic Tank

There are 5 wells, 2 rainwater catchment systems, but the primary source of reliable water are the wells and the digue spring, located a mile from the hospital. This is pumped a couple times a week and feeds water to a hospital cistern at the top of the site. From there are two pressure booster pumps that pass the water through a GE filtration system to remove all contaminants. Then it is dosed with liquid chlorine. From there it feeds to the hospital distribution network. When the hospital loses power or if the pressure pumps go down, the filters can be bypassed and water can be fed to the hospital by gravity alone.

SANITATION The CIDEC has 15 toilets for a building of 7,500 sq ft. The emergency department has one private staff toilet, one private patient toilet near the waiting area and multi stall toilet rooms in the open ward. There is a sluice sink in the utility room off the open ward where waste from bed pans can be discarded. A proper sluice sink requires a tremendous amount of water pressure, so a toilet basin is used in lieu of a sluice sink. Each isolation room has access to toilet rooms directly from the room. Another sanitation issue with the SBH is the maintenance of the toilets. Due to the lack of education of its users, the toilets are repeatedly misused. Trash and clothes are often flushed in the toilets which cause them to break, and they are not easily repaired.

Jalousie Windows : The MHC facility, like many of the buildings on the Saint Boniface Hospital Campus, implement the use of the Jalousie windows, taking advantage of its operable louvers components and transparency to allow both ample light and adequate indoor air regeneration. Four sizes of Jalousie windows were used in the MHC project with variable placement throughout the building. Fixed Louvers: The MHC also has a series of fixed louvers at variable placements throughout the structure. Most of the fixed louvers are placed above or below the Jalousie Windows and are intended to provide natural ventilation. They allow diffused light to enter when used above the Jalousie windows or at the top of the roof pop-up. How We Design

Airflow MHC at Fond Des Blancs: The MHC facility at St. Boniface reports having relatively low quality of airflow. These wards tend to get very warm during the summer months. The ceiling fans help move the air, but the jalousies are typically closed and there arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t enough fixed louvers to get fresh air into the wards.

Typical Airflow Condition: The sections above shows the typical airflow condition for the MHC facility. There is limited cross air ventilation but the roof pop-out allows for hot air to rise and exit the building. It is speculated that due to inadequate cross air exchange and a lack of a pitch in the roof, the rate at which hot air is expelled from inside the building is not nearly enough to regulate the capacity of the indoor air or maintain a comfortable indoor temperature. 31

Forced Air / HVAC: The only space in the MHC with A/C is the NICU. The NICU in the westward most part of the facility has a need for air conditioning due to the program specifications

Passive Ventilation: There are fixed louvers and jalousie windows as a method for passive air flow and ventilation.

Both levels of the MHC facility use CMU and concrete as the principle materials for construction. The MHC only has a flexible interior space in the primary area of the patient wards, and partial flexibility in the below grade level as these walls can have doorways installed to connect the spaces.

CMU construction

Roof System: The MHC has a unique roof system which consist of a large central pop-out. This feature is supported by a long span concrete system which allows for a large open space below where the three primary wards of the MHC are located. The entire roof system at MHC is flat and supports the addition of Solar Panels.

Beams & Columns: The beam and column system of the MHC follows a rectilinear grid. The columns and beams on the ground level are further apart which is typical of a long span system and are relatively equidistant. The below grade level follows a similar configuration although here the system is closer together as it supports a larger mass above it than the ground level. The roof pop-out on the ground level is supported by a long span system which allows for a large open ward space below it.

CMU: The Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) is used in this project selectively. As a unitized material CMU is easier and quicker to work with but it is also a costlier material when compared to the total cost of poured concrete per SF. The use of CMU in the MHC has restricted its ability to be easily reconfigurable. 1 Roof System 2 Columns & Beams 3 CMU Walls

Even those with access to the grid today still experience frequent blackouts and unreliable power quality. However, the MHC at the St. Boniface campus is not connected to the grid, and electricity is necessary to light up the hospital at night and for the medical equipments to operate. Thus, BHI utilized solar panels and generators as energy sources. Additionally, the mechanical system is powered by electricity. Even though the solar panels currently provides over 50% of the electrical power, the electricity in Haiti is still at a very high cost and unreliable.

MHC | St. Boniface Hospital

Plumbing WATER The MHC has 14 sinks and showers there are located on the lower level in the sanitation block. There is a large trough sink outside of the sanitation block on the lower level of the building. This sink is where visitors dump bed pans and wash clothes. There are 5 wells, 2 rainwater catchment systems, but the primary source of reliable water is the digue spring, located a mile from the hospital. This is pumped a couple times a week and feeds water to a hospital cistern at the top of the site. From there, there are two pressure booster pumps that pass the water through a GE filtration system to remove all contaminants. Then it is dosed with liquid chlorine. From there it feeds to the hospital distribution network. When the hospital loses power or if the pressure pumps go down, the filters can be bypassed and water can be fed to the hospital by gravity alone. Water is caught of-site from the Spring water (natural resource). It is then pipe in a large cistern situated at the highest point of the site, which will be filtered and chlorinated and pimped into the CIDEC building. Water is also sometimes caught from a well (underground natural resource) then pumped into the site. When the well water is low, water is brought to the cistern by water trucks. SANITATION The MHC has 6 toilets and a sanitation block in it first floor, which is located next to a community room. Originally designed in two different blocks, male and female separately, today, the use of the sanitation room has slightly changed to accommodate both the hospital users and the community users. It is no longer separate in male and female block, but there is a community block and a hospital block, with male, female and children mixed in all of them. As an alternative for the use of restrooms, bed pans are frequently used by the hospital users. Another sanitation issue with the SBH is the maintenance of the toilets. Due to the lack of education of its users, the toilets are repeatedly misused. Majority of the single stall toilets in the MHC are locked because they are broken. Waste goes from restroom to septic Tank which will be chlorinated to kill the cholera and then transported to the Leach Field. The MHC has a sanitation block on its lower level through a water basin. These basins are used to dump bed pans and laundry. The MHC also has sinks, toilets, and a sanitation block below that account for water usage.

Project Overview The Inpatient Unit at the Hopitale Universitaire de Mirebalais is a block type unit with a radial mass organized around a central exterior courtyard. The Inpatient Unit is part of the larger Hospital campus. There are two complete blocks and one half block to serve the inpatient needs of the hospital with a total 20 beds per block. There are four individual wards within the blocks.

Inpatient Block | HUM

Location: With a population of 192,852 inhabitants, Mirebalais is a small Haitian District. It is located approximately 25 miles (41 km) from Port-au-Prince, the countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s capital. In 2011, BHI launched a project of to build an hospital, in a city where people are constantly suffering from lack of access to high quality healthcare.

Site Analysis: One of the keys to using the local environmental resources and influence energy-related factors such as daylight, solar heat gains and ventilation is the use of site analysis. Haiti’s climate is generally hot and humid. Its climate is pretty consistent through out the year. Its tropical climate is split in two seasons, dry (November through March) with January being the driest month, and rainy (April through October). The average annual rainfall is 140 to 200 centimeters, but it is unevenly

Site & Context

The inpatient blocks at HUM were designed to take advantage of prevailing winds and solar orientation. The HUM campus is situated on a flattened site in a hilly area of Haitis Central Plateau micro-climate. All the roofs of the main campus are fitted with solar panels. The Inpatient units take advantage of the large courtyards at their core to offer fresh air and outdoor gathering areas for patients and families.

Vegetation

Topography and Landscaping: The Topography of Haiti can be characterized as mountainous with steep valleys and the occasional large plateau. The town of Mirebalais just outside of Port-Au-Prince sits on a large plateau and is within a micro-climate which is characterized as hotter and slightly dryer than most parts of Haiti. The site is flat and the main campus sits on level ground. A distinguishing feature of the Inpatient Units is the central courtyard and the vegetation which surrounds its outer and inner perimeter.

Predominant Wind Direction Secondary Wind Direction

Prevailing Winds: The predominant wind direction for Mirebalais, Haiti is from the east, with secondary winds coming from the southeast. To maximize natural ventilation buildings should be oriented from 0Â° to 30Â° with respect to the prevailing wind direction. It is preferable to orient the longer facades of the building towards predominant wind direction. The Outpatient units of the HUM campus are large rectangular blocks characterized by central courtyards.

Sun Direction

Sun Path: In the northern hemisphere the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. Buildings oriented east west maximize visual comfort and minimize heat gain. Majority of the buildings on the site are oriented Southeast- Northwest, capitalizing on ideal solar orientation. The Inpatient Unit takes advantage of the suns path with its East to West orientation. The roof system on the HUM campus is entirely flat and due to its vast solar exposure and Northeast to Southwest orientation it is well suited for solar panels as it currently features and where more than half of the campus power is sourced.

Fixed Louvers: The Inpatient Facility also has a series of fixed louvers at variable placements throughout the structure. Most of the fixed louvers are placed above or below the Jalousie Windows and are intended to provide natural ventilation and not exactly used to light the indoor space.

Courtyard: The Inpatient Facility at the HUM campus is unique as it implements the use of outdoor courtyards. These courtyards are excellent light wells which permit natural light into inward and outward facing windows.

Airflow

The Inpatient unit at HUM reports having adequate quality of airflow. The Courtyard in the center of the block shortens the overall depth of the central mass creating an ideal transverse cross ventilation condition. During summer months however, it is reported that the wards get very hot. Ceiling Fans : The Inpatient unit like most facilities on the HUM campus takes full advantage of ceiling fans. The Inpatient units do not have any other known mechanical systems for air flow/circulation. The Inpatient units are not specifically fitted for the containment or isolation of airborne illnesses.

Forced Air / HVAC: The Inpatient units do not have forced air HVAC systems or any conditioned air. They rely solely on naturally ventilated air circulated by the ceiling fans. Passive Ventilation: The Inpatient units are organized into blocks, the HUM campus has two and a half such blocks each of which features a large courtyard space of roughly 60’ x 70’ with a covered corridor of about 8’ and 2’ overhangs along the outer walls. The open courtyard and overhangs provide access to fresh-air and shade which potentially reduces the heat gain indoors.

Plumbing

Well (secondary)

WATER The inpatient unit of HUM has 8 toilets and 8 sinks for a space of 13,000 sq ft. HUM - fed from 2 on site wells to a 10,000 gallon underground cistern. Water is chlorinated with liquid chlorine as it goes into the cistern. Water is then pressurized throughout the system with two grundfos booster pumps. There is basic filtration for sand and larger particles just after the booster pumps. From there it goes to the building. The danger here is if power is lost or the two pumps go down, the hospital immediately loses water. HUM produces its own chlorine on site. They use a simple batch chlorine generator system where you mix a salt/water solution and electrode turns it to low concentration chlorine. Liquid Chlorine is also readily available in the marketplace and could be used if the chlorine generator breaks down. HUM is sitting on top of a large aquifer and it’s well produces 80,000 gallons per day. SANITATION Currently, HUM has 3 blivet tanks, and a 4th one has been ordered in order to facilitate the process of waste. HUM’s tank is currently overcapacity, it receives 75,000 gallons of waste daily when it’s only created for 60,000 gallons daily. Maintaining hygiene at HUM is challenging. Hygiene supplies are very rare and your lucky to find soap in the bathrooms, let alone toilet paper or paper towels. Poor cleaning staff management, patients not knowing how to use flush toilets, poor or slow maintenance, lack of toilet paper for patients leads to clothes or rocks being flushed down the toilets. The flushing toilets are not well maintained and people flush trash in them which clogs the tank. Purification

Slope Direction

Topography: The Topography of the Neno District Hospital site is largely flattened with a shallow slope in the Northwest direction. The topography of the site does not have an impact on the design strategy. The perimeter of the IC3 building will be lightly landscaped but there is not enough vegetation to suggest an impact on the thermal dynamics of the structure.

Predominant Wind Direction Secondary Wind Direction

Prevailing Winds: The predominant wind direction for the Neno area of Malawi is from the southeast, with secondary winds coming from the east. To maximize natural ventilation buildings should be oriented from 0Â° to 30Â° with respect to the prevailing wind direction. It is preferable to orient the longer facades of the building towards predominant wind direction. The IC3 facility has been oriented on site with a northeast to southeast direction. With long face facing predominant winds the building takes full advantage of natural ventilation.

Sun Direction

Sun Path: In the southern hemisphere the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, but is from the north. Buildings oriented east west maximize visual comfort and minimize heat gain. Majority of the buildings on the site are oriented Southwest to Northeast. The IC3 facility has a pitched roof and has been designed for the future installation of solar panels its orientation is ideal for optimal solar panel exposure. The pitched roof of the IC3 is not equal, the north facing pitch is several degrees greater than the south facing pitch, this allows for natural light to enter from the opening between the two pitches allowing for diffused natural light as well as aiding in the expulsion of hot air from inside the building.

Jalousie Windows: The IC3 facility implements the use of the Jalousie windows, taking advantage of its operable louvers components and its transparency to allow both ample light and adequate indoor air regeneration. Fixed Louvers Open Truss System: The IC3 also has a series of fixed louvers at variable placements throughout the structure. The IC3 roof also has a large open truss system and variable slope pitches. This creates an opening which is lined with mosquito netting allowing for the transpiration of air and diffusion of light while keeping pests out. This will allow hot air to escape and diffused light to enter. The exposure faces south which is favorable in Malawi for diffused light. Other Openings:The IC3 Unit has unique openings along its facade. The use of Earth Stabalized Bricks (ESB) unique to the region was taken into consideration when designing alternative facade treatments that could provide structurally sound walls and permeable surfaces. These wall sections allow for air and diffused light to enter the structure without compromising privacy or security.

ESB: The Earth Stabalized Block (ESB) was the best material choice given the ease of production and accessibility. ESB’s however are not adequately suited to serve as structural memebers. In the IC3 facility ESB’s were used as infill between framing elements, this method provides the ability to move and remove walls easily without the need of any major demolition work. Beams & Columns: The IC3 takes advantage of the long span open truss system suspended on beams in order to reduce the need for structural walls. This system allows all the walls in the structure to be removable without compromising the overall structural integrity of the facility. Note that a large percentage of columns are wrapped in ESB brick.

TECHNICAL ANALYSIS + FIELD TESTING SUMMARY Measuring the impact of design features at all the Haiti Projects Sites will aid future design decisions as well as reinforce existing ones. Looking at the way design features impact the quality and intensity of light as well as heatgain and cooling to draw comparisons between on sight testing results and analytical data models from Insight 360 and Revit. Using Revits BIM modeling software paired with the Autodesk Insight 360 plug-in we were able to run analytical analysis testing the impact of certain design features and develope a series of readings based on variables to illustrate how different features of a buildings design can impact the quality of its interior spaces. This was crucial in the field testing phase of our study as the Insight 360 analysis allowed us to carefully select the qualities for testing which were; Light Levels, Sound, Air Temperature, Surface Temperature, and Humidity. With the information and Data gathered on-site we were able to draw conclusions by cross examining our findings with the Insight 360 energy models.

Technical Analysis

Measuring the impact of design features at all the Haiti Projects Sites will aid future design decisions as well as reinforce existing ones. Looking at the way design features impact the quality and intensity of light as well as heatgain and cooling to draw comparisons between on sight testing results and analytical data models from Insight 360 and Revit. Using Revits BIM modeling software paired with the Autodesk Insight 360 plug-in we were able to run analytical analysis testing the impact of certain design features and develope a series of readings based on variables to illustrate how different features of a buildings design can impact the quality of its interior spaces. This was crucial in the field testing phase of our study as the Insight 360 analysis allowed us to carefully select the qualities for testing which were; Light Levels, Sound, Air Temperature, Surface Temperature, and Humidity. With the information and Data gathered on-site we were able to draw conclusions by cross examining our findings with the Insight 360 energy models.

Overall, the hospital was at a resonable temperature at any time of the day and the airflow was mostly existent right under the fans. There was a light breeze around the gallery area, brought by the huge surrounding trees. The combination of both the surrounding trees, the low fixed louvers and the direct exhaust fan, even made it too cold at night sometimes. The hospital users would often block the low louvers with pieces of cardboards to block the airflow at night and prevent the kids from the Pediatry to get sick from the cold air.

According to base readings of MHC, as it is with the 3ft overhang and 8ft covered corridor, the volume of all nterior spaces it is predicted to need an estimated 166850.05 Btu per hour in order to maintain a “comfortable” indoor air temperature of 75 degrees Farenheit.

Technical Analysis

Reconfigured Ward: It is speculated that airflow within the MHC wards is poor due to the configuration of interior spaces. It should be noted that this configuration is necessary in order to provide adequate support to healthcare practitioners and patients. However, if we remove the support rooms and walls we observe a drop in Peak Cooling Sensible Load of 2048.71 Btu per hour.

AM sun

This implies that the addition of windows would adversely affect the need for cooling of the space. It should be noted that Heat and Cooling Analysis run using Insight assumes that the building will need mechanical cooling in the form of an H/VAC system. It can be assumed that the Analysis is not testing for passive cooling loads.

With the addition of windows in exact size and placement to those existing opposite of the space we observe an increase in Peak Cooling Sensible Load of 5955.08 Btu/H from the test on “no support rooms” and an increasse of 3946.37 Btu/h off the existing conditions base model.

The MHC Facility was tested in six areas these included Light Levels, Sound, Humidity, Air Temperature, Material Surface Temperature, and Airflow.

Systems: Testing On-Site

5 4

Using the readings from the on-site testing we were able to see patterns and draw conclusions. The Insight Analysis performed in office compared to the on-site testing proved to be useful in providing a data base to which the on-site data can compared to. The analysis performed in office using Insight tested only for Light Levels, and Heatgain when paired with the additional on-site testing data allows us to develope an image of the impact of the design in relation to the buildings performance in the six areas of testing. The MHC facility proved to have poor ventilation in its central wards beneath the roof pop-up. This is due to two key factors. Support spaces opposite the wards block any potential cross ventilation, as well as an overall inadequacy of ceiling fans which lack the capacity to ventilate the space as they are places at a height of 16ft above the ground and only have a radius of impact of 4ft from center. The concrete structure of the MHC is also a poor thermal regulator as it releases heat into the building during the evening hours which contributes to the overall heatgain of the air inside.

Transvers Section Through Post-Partum Ward THERMAL MASS: Material surface temperatures showed fluctuations between morning and evening hours proving that concrete is a poor thermal regulator for the Haitian climate as it releases latent heat into the building throughtout the night and evening hours. However, this effect was far greater on the eastern facade than it iwas on the north, south, or east. This is due potentially to the long hours of exposure to direct sunlight of this eastern facade. The north, south, and east facades both have deep sheltered corridors and waiting areas. . Despite the spike in surface temperatures all rooms did not report an increase in air temperature due to the increase in surface temperature which may indicate the air temperature is not corrolated or impacted by surface temperatures.

Systems: Daylighting & Orientation

The HUM Inpatient block is radially symmetrical and as such rotation on its access for optimal solar orientation is reflected in the interior equally on all sides. All estimated daylighting analysis were conducted during the longest day of the year due to the effect of daylighting on heatgain. The shortest day of the year or winter days when the sun is at a lower angle can potential have less heatgain. For the analysis it is important to study the maximum daylight conditions in order to understand the impact of current and future design features Indoor daylighting of Existing Conditions: Quality and Intensity of Light 10â&#x20AC;&#x2122;

Key daylighting range varies independently per analysis. Maximum range of measurable Lux is equal to 6000 most simulations do not surpass 2000 Lux.

Daylighting 6pm june 21 Radiant impact of daylighting on existing Inpatient Block interior spaces during evening hours, sun setting in west.

Existing Condition : The HUM Inpatient block has a 31 degree northwest orientation which means that light enters the building at a 31 degree angle from the windows on the east and west facades for 1-4 hours in the morning and evenings. The lighting during the morning hours of 6am-9am and evening hours of 6pm-9pm are estimated at 200-1000 lux well within the recommended lumminance for office work tasks according to NOAO. Since the orientation of the Inpatient block will have the same results regardless of its axis in relation to the sun we proposed to test the impact of other buildings and its proximity to the block on the quality of lighting conditions inside 107

Double Overhang : Doubling the depth of the overhang made a considerable impact on total heat gain in the inpatient block. The new estimated Btu/H was reported at 107910.40 which is a 5637.24 Btu/H difference. The addition of 3 additional feet all around the outer perimeter of the block added an estimated 2200 SF of material to the building which will reflect in the cost of material per SF

Systems: Testing On-Site

The HUM Facility was tested in six areas these included Light Levels, Sound, Humidity, Air Temperature, Material Surface Temperature, and Airflow.

6 5

The HUM facility reported having moderate airflow but poor thermal regulation of indoor air temperatures. As noted by the surface material temperatures, interior surface temperatures of the walls showed increase heat during the evenings which in turn contributes to the overall heatgain of indoor air temperature. The HUM in-patient blocks have only high placed hammered glass jalousy windows. On the Western exposure the hammered glass is insufficient in mitigating the intensity of natural daylighting. Shading has been added by staff to diffuse the light entering the wards most notably on east and west outer facades. This has also adversely affected airflow in the space which reported good ventilation 4ft from center where most patient beds are up to 8ft away from ceiling fan centers.
