Abstract | ||||
Buildings of healthcare should have requirements and needs of the architectural design. These requirements stem from the actual needs of each society, but at the same time can benefit effectively from the experiences of developed countries in this area - both were similar circumstances or different in order to reach the highest performance of the building. In this case, the requirements of indicators are used as a checklist to determine which different elements to be met and relied on throughout the studies carried out by some international organizations, research and reports of interest. Such checklists can be considered as efficient source to determine the requirements to be accessible. In the same context, there are several determinants of help to improve the environmental performance of the building and checklist adapted to the building with the surrounding environment without damaging the building or the environment with the convenience of individuals, which may result in knowledge of the requirements of the design and an analysis of each side to develop on a regular, ongoing basis. Hence, the research will deal with findings of the performance of a number of global systems associated with sustainable healthcare buildings and also the evaluation system in Egypt as the local system. It aims to clarify each system and credit of the achievement of those parameters in order to access to the determinants of improving the performance of the building in the context of a specific and comprehensive environmental analysis. It will gain access to the methodology in the context of the most important determinants affecting the performance of the building in terms of energy, water, emissions, transport, materials and resources. | ||||
