    The document discusses the design of a sustainable rural hospital in Achham, Nepal. It was constructed using locally available materials like rammed earth and utilizes various passive design strategies and renewable energy systems to reduce its environmental impact. The hospital addresses the functional needs of the community in a culturally sensitive way through its vernacular design inspiration and use of traditional construction methods.

    CONCLUSION
    INTRODUCTIO
    N
    • The sustainable rural hospital is
    designed by new-york city-based
    sharon davis design-located in
    achham, with built area of 45,500
    square feet
    • Constructed using the locally
    available materials and low-tech
    construction method.
    • It has very low energy demand and
    integrates solar energy and many
    more features.
    • The design of the building is done
    focused on low-carbon
    consumption prioritizing the
    functional requirement, economic
    empowerment and sustainability
    maintaning the aesthetic value
    DESIGN STRATEGIES
     The original hospital was disorganized with in efficient workflow and no formal waiting areas.
     Organized and proper facilities in new master plan adopted.
     Topography to naturally articulate the various natural spaces
    DESIGN INSPIRATION
    ▪ In form and materiality, they were inspired by
    the vernacular structures found surrounding the
    hospital.
    ▪ 2-3 story houses
    ▪ Constructed of mortared stone and finished with
    paint and reddish earthen stucco
    ▪ Historic structures across the Himalayas (tabo
    monastery) in himanchal Pradesh which are
    made from rammed earth technique.
    ▪ Also mud and earth construction techniques are
    found in traditional and vernacular architecture
    throughout the world.
    "Without local materials, this project may not have been possible because of its incredibly remote location – a
    10-hour drive from the nearest regional airport and a three-day drive on narrow, mountainous roads from the
    nearest manufacturing centers around Kathmandu."

     For hospital, they proposed cement stabilized reinforced rammed earth.


     It has better seismic resistance but still has the earthing quality.
    MATERIALS USED
    ▪ RAMMED EARTH :
     Locally available, low cost and more sustainable.
     Gives a warm and non-clinical feel.
     Vapor permeable> allows moisture to pass slowly
    through it which allows the wall to dry out after it gets
    wet.
     Inside: To brighten the space and create a cleanable
    surface.
     Outside: Sealed only with linseed oil.
    ▪ REUSABLE PLASTIC FORMWORK:
     employing untrained workers from Achham.
     Low tech. construction
    ▪ Local stone
     used for the foundations, retaining walls and paths.
    MANY ADVANTAGES FOR USING RAMMED
    EARTH
     Rammed earth uses less cement than
    concrete so it has less embodied carbon
    number
     Soil is locally available, which reduces
    transportation costs of the building
    materials.
     Rammed earth is labor intensive, where you
    don’t need specialized knowledge to built
    these walls
     Rammed earth has thermal mass which
    slows down heat transfer between the
    interior and the exterior.
     Rammed earth can passively control indoor
    temperatures without resorting to
    mechanical heating and cooling (i.e. reduces
    the building electricity usage)
    ▪ POLYCARBONATE:
     Canopy>shaded waiting areas
     allows natural light to pass through while blocking harmful UV
    rays.
     Its lightweight nature reduces transportation costs and
    emissions during transportation
    ▪ Solar panels
     A grid-connected, 100kW photovoltaic array, installed across
    all south-facing roofs, generates more energy on site than the
    campus requires.
    ▪ Wood
     indigenous sal tree was used for the exterior doors and
    louvres over windows, as well as furniture indoors.
    ▪ Soil from the site
     mixed with a small amount of cement to make the structure
    more durable and able to withstand the frequent seismic
    activity in the area.

    SUSTAINABLE DESIGN STATEGIES
    STRUCTURE
    ▪ Passive heating and cooling is
    promoted
    ▪ Roof is continuous over the
    breezeways
    ▪ Interior is divided by
    clerestory window in two
    different angles
     Allows daylight to enter
     Good air circulation
    ▪ Courtyards> private/secluded open to sky
    areas
    ▪ Insulated roofs retain heat gain in winter
    and stop rooms from overheating in
    summer, while breezes can waft through
    from the courtyards, aided by ceiling
    fans.
    ▪ Tall windows frame dramatic views and
    glazing provides natural daylighting
    throughout all clinical areas, to reduce
    the need for artificial lighting.
    ▪ The campus has its own water supply and
    a network of terraces and bioswales help
    stop soil erosion in the monsoon season.
