Comparative Study of Physical Design Principles in Green Hospital Concept (Case Study: Teaching Hospital)

Abstract A teaching hospital that pays attention to environmental impact is the main vision in developing campus teaching hospitals in Indonesia. The concept of a green hospital is a trend that needs to be followed because hospital operational activities have a fairly high impact on users and the surrounding environment. Therefore, this study aims to examine the design principles of a hospital’s physical building with a green hospital concept, especially in teaching hospitals. Using a comparative study method on several study objects, the main design principles that should be applied in developing teaching hospitals with a green hospital concept can be found. Based on the results of the comparison of the three comparative objects studied, the SPETE principle (safety, patient-centeredness, efficiency, timeliness, and effectiveness) was found to be the key to developing a teaching hospital with a green concept. This principle should be applied in the physical design of the building so that the hospital building has a more positive impact on users and the surrounding environment. These five aspects certainly greatly influence the shape and physical arrangement of the hospital building so that they can be guidelines in future teaching hospitals.
