Providence
Park Hospital
Novi, Michigan
The large wooded site on the far northwest side of the Detroit
metropolitan area housed only buildings with ambulatory care
functions, but the new 463,800 SF tertiary care hospital features
200 beds, with capacity for 68 additional beds. The new building
is connected to the existing ambulatory center with a pedestrian
bridge.
The project has many sustainable features. In order to reduce
the potable water use, well water can provide make-up water
for the condenser water system. The mechanical systems have
variable air volume, variable speed pumping, variable speed
cooling towers, variable speed chillers, air economizer, and
high efficiency boiler burners to provide maximum energy efficiency.
The 600 kW generator plant backs up both normal and essential
power systems for the entire hospital and utilizes a 1,300 kVA
rotary flywheel UPS system to provide ride through of all critical
power serving ORs and imaging labs. |
