IRCCS Galeazzi-Sant'Ambrogio Hospital

The facility occupies a total area of 50,000 square meters, including 20,000 square meters for the new building and 30,000 square meters dedicated to parking and open space.
The hospital is spread over 16 levels above ground and houses all hospital activities, research laboratories and space for university activities. In addition to the main building, there are three other buildings, which house a technology center, a medical gas plant and an ecological island. Also thanks to collaboration with the State University of Milan, the hospital is equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory and training equipment.

The building envelope is particularly thermally efficient. It consists of about 30,000 sq m of curtain walls, 24,000 sq m of metal panel cladding, and 9,500 sq m of ventilated facades, which protect the thermal insulation layer. The geometric conformation and stratigraphies minimize winter dispersion and summer heat immissions, allow solar radiation to be managed by fixed sunshades, and ensure proper temperature displacement.
From the plant engineering point of view, efficient solutions have been planned, such as cogeneration, combined heat and power generation, use of renewable sources and district heating, installation of low-temperature air conditioning systems, and variable flow ventilation with heat recovery.
The monitoring of energy production and recovery systems contributes to smooth plant operation, according to ad hoc scenarios that define precise sequences of operation to always favor the best performing solution.
The building has received certification according to the LEED V4 protocol, Gold rating.
