Integrating
education, patient care and research is the goal of the
new LEED-certified Clinical Research Building at the University
of Miami's Jackson Memorial Hospital Campus. The 15-story
building houses innovative programs for clinical research;
early intervention for high-risk infants; perinatal addiction;
treatment and prevention of adolescent drug abuse, and
age-related diseases. There's also a Wellness Center for
physicians, staff and students. Some of the sustainable
features include: low-flow plumbing features; insulated
glass to reduce heat; natural lighting for 75% of the
interiors; chemical pollutant control; carbon dioxide
monitoring; low-emitting materials for better air quality;
recycled and locally manufactured materials for interior
finishes and construction; and reflective Energy Star®
roofing.Convenience was a factor in the engineering design;
for instance, under-floor air distribution allows for
easy access to the HVAC, electrical, electronic and plumbing
utility systems. The under-floor air ventilation also
helps reduce fan energy. In addition to MEP and fire protection
design, TLC provided energy modeling services.
