Criteria for Selecting Smart Materials and Smart Systems in Hospital Buildings: A Proposed Methodology
Keywords:
Smart materials, smart systems, hospital buildings, Indoor Environmental Quality.Abstract
Hospital buildings are no longer just buildings with fixed structures but have transformed into smart entities capable of interacting with the demands of the internal and external environment and responding quickly to all changes. This is thanks to the accelerated use of advanced technologies in smart materials and smart systems. However, we find another challenge, which is the lack of a clear scientific methodology in the process of selecting the criteria for smart materials and smart systems in hospital buildings. This leads to the adoption of unsuitable engineering solutions and increased costs without achieving a safe, comfortable, and healthy environment for patients and staff. This study aims to propose a methodology for selecting the criteria for smart materials and smart systems in hospital buildings. It employs a descriptive-analytical approach to establish the theoretical framework, a comparative approach to analyze case studies of leading hospitals, and a deductive approach to formulate the proposed methodology. The study arrives at a five-stage methodology: (1) Assessment and Diagnosis, (2) Criteria Specification, (3) Selection and Evaluation, (4) Application and Integration, and (5) Evaluation and Feedback. The results also revealed that implementing this methodology contributes to creating a healthy and safe indoor environment for patients, effectively improving energy efficiency and reducing long-term operating costs, while also increasing patient satisfaction and recovery rates. This study recommends that this approach be adopted as a basis for developing national hospital design codes.
