In the design process, these typical fire-protection system goals are on the
table for consideration:
• Saving lives.
• Saving property.
• Detection.
• Suppression.
Passenger lifts are used to transport the public, hospital staff, and
ambulatory patients (wheelchairs).
A lift pit is the space in the lift well below the level of the lowest lift landing
served. It should be provided at the bottom of every lift. The pit should be
maintained in a dry and clean condition. Where the pit depth exceeds 2 m,
suitable access should be provided by a cat ladder. The water pump can be
installing to keep it dry for the case that lift pit at the basement level.
3.1.2 Lift Wells
Lift machine rooms shall be large enough to install the lift equipment,
including space for controllers. Clearances for control equipment shall be not
less than the required and with enough working space between the various
items of equipment for maintenance purposes. It must be possible to remove
major equipment components of each lift for repair without dismantling
components of an adjacent lift. Minimum headroom shall be 2300 mm (7'6").
Each lift shall be provided with a separate three phase supply through a
circuit breaker located in the respective machine room, adjacent to the entry
and with clear access. The supply should terminate at the respective lift
controller. Indicate the design electrical loads; (horsepower, voltage,
amperage etc.) switch sizes, breaker settings, wire sizes and conduit sizes.
The lift supply shall be dedicated main feeder utilizing the shortest practical
run and continuous ground conductor.
The lifts shall be arranged to have auxiliary power available with the capacity
to operate one lift at a time.
3.1.5 Communication
Each lift will have an intercom system in place of a telephone. Conduit must
be provided from the lift machine room to a 24 hour monitoring location. It
can be use for the passenger when the lift breakdown.
Before selection and design for the hospital lighting systems, we need to
consider the factor in providing the best necessary service in hospital
lighting. The following selection factor should be taken into account when
selecting light for hospital:
• Lamp efficacy
• Lamp price
• Lamp life
• Lamp availability
• Color temperature between 3300 K and 5300 K
• Design a means for safely cleaning and maintaining interior spaces and
building exteriors.
• Provide guardrails and barriers that will prevent falls from heights in
both interior and exterior spaces.
• Provide interior and exterior floor surfaces that do not pose slip or trip
hazards.
• Provide adequate illumination, both natural and artificial, for all interior
and exterior areas.
• Evaluate all areas where ground fault circuit interruption (GFI) and arc
fault interruption (AFI) devices may be needed.
