CH2 inspired for Air Conditioning System of Inpatient Hospital with Biomimicry Approach

Abstract

One of the important areas in the hospital building is inpatient care, where inpatient care is used throughout the day. In hospitalization, users consist of healthy users and sick users, so prevention of airborne infection management and air conditioning that supports patient recovery is important. However, even though the air conditioning in the inpatient area of the hospital has standards that must be met, there are still many problems with ventilation conditions in the inpatient room, first problems with the inpatient supervision system, both related and assistive devices to support the running system. Both air comfort and air quality do not meet the standards to support patient care. Third, the use of ventilation systems in inpatient services that support energy savings. With a descriptive qualitative method using a case study on the House Council 2 building. Council House 2 which uses natural inspiration as a solution to the air conditioning problem in the building can be role-modeled in the conditioning system in inpatient buildings which has similar space layout and duration of use. The results of this study are that some ventilation system components are used passively in the room following the problems that hospital nurses have such as vegetation, building thermal mass management, ventilation piles, protective facades, ceiling panels, and beam panels, and spray water.
