Girvan Community Hospital |
The construction of the new Girvan Community Hospital began in June 2008 and is due for completion in October 2009. The building is highly served and uses a host of low zero carbon (LZC) technologies. It has a wind turbine, biomass boiler, rainwater recovery system, variable speed pumps forms and motors, lighting control systems, maximises natural ventilation and a motor roomless lift.
The buildings energy performance has been assessed using dynamic simulation modelling and has been calculated to be a carbon neutral building at this design stage. The NHS Ayrshire and Arran trust have piloted the future ways in whole new healthcare provisions are constructed and have done this within the framework of the traditional contract and funded the project directly with full Stakeholder consultation and involvement.
