SERVICES

100% air conditioned- to maintain air quality.

HVAC
HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) is the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental
comfort. HVAC system design is a sub discipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles
of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.
"Mechanical" or "forced" ventilation is provided by an air handler and used to control indoor air quality.
Excess humidity, odors, and contaminants can often be controlled via dilution or replacement with outside
air.

WATER CONSERVATION
sensor taps for water consevation- one handwash req 1.5l
these taps it takes only 0.6l
rain water harvesting and percolation pit - 30m deep- rain water collected and
perculated- part of the landscaping.
behind the cafetaria- pipe is there- which takes the water.

FIRE ESCAPES
alarms, smoke detectors and sprinklers on all corridors and rooms.
fire alarm panel in the reception - each panel has 20 units.
zonal designsmoke detectors detect and send signal gto main panel.
WASTE DISPOSAL
outsourced. incinerated somewhere else.
SOLAR WATER HEATER
DIESEAL GENERATOR AND
UPS BACKUP-ONLY FOR ICU AND OT
DUMBWAITER- behind OT in the dirty corridor- to dispose the waste.

HVAC SYSTEM

HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) is the technology of indoor and vehicular environmental
comfort. HVAC system design is a sub discipline of mechanical engineering, based on the principles
of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.

The hospital building is 100% air conditioned . "Mechanical" or "forced" ventilation is provided
by an air handler and used to control indoor air quality. Excess humidity, odors, and contaminants can
often be controlled via dilution or replacement with outside air.

WATER CONSERVATION

The architect has taken two major steps for the conservation of water. He has
provided sensor traps and a rainwater harvesting and percolation pit.
These sensor taps have been installed everywhere. For example, a regular tap uses
about 1.5 litres of water for a handwash. These specific taps use about 0.6 litres for
a handwash, thus saving about 0.9 litres.
The water harvesting and percolation pit is about 30m deep under the ground. The
water is collected here and distributed through pipes for other services. The pit
cannot be seen on the site since it is part of the landscaping. One of the pipes,
however can be seen behind the cafetria.

FIRE SAFETY
All the corridors and rooms have been fitted with smoke detectors, fire alarms and
sprinklers.
The smoke detectors detect the fire and send a signal to the main fire alarm panel
which has been fitted in the recption. This main panel has 20 units., each unit
represents a zone. These zones have smaller alarm panels which activate the
sprinklers.
There are fire extinguishers and fire staircases have been built every 30m.

WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEM

The waste management has been outsourced to different agencies and these
agencies take the waste and incarnate it far away from the hospital.
SOLAR WATER HEATER
There are solar panels on the terrace which heat all the water that is being
supplied.

GENERATORS
There are two generators that have been provided in the hospital. One is a diesel
generator and the other one is a UPS backup. The UPS backup is only for the OT's
and ICU's since there needs to be power in those two rooms all the time because
they have life saving equipment.

DUMBWAITER SYSTEM
Dumbwaiters are small freight elevators (or lifts) intended to carry objects rather than people.
Dumbwaiters found within modern structures, including both commercial, public and private buildings,
are often connected between multiple floors.
There are two dumbwaiters used. One is used to carry the sterile instruments and linen to the OT's and
the other dumbwaiter carries the soiled materials back to the laundry room.
