The AIA Colorado – Academy of Architecture for Health (AAH) Knowledge Community provides knowledge which supports the design of healthy environments by creating education and networking opportunities for members of – and those touched by – the healthcare architectural profession.  This knowledge community will provide members with the opportunity to interact and network with knowledge leaders & professionals (local & national) and help elevate the overall level of healthcare design in Colorado.

Optimizing Hospital Energy Performance

Speaker: Mohit Mehta B.Arch., M. Sc. Des, BEMP, LEED AP BD+C with ME Engineers

Participants will learn about how healthcare facilities use energy, what the primary determinants of energy use in hospitals are and what current and innovative strategies can be implemented to minimize energy use. In addition, what these energy intensive facilities can do to keep up with the requirements of the widely accepted Architecture 2030 Challenge. Energy interactions between building subsystems: envelope, lighting and HVAC will be covered to address whole-building energy use reductions. The talk will also cover useful information on where the healthcare industry is headed, in terms of sustainability, and what are reasonable energy use index (EUI) goals/targets for these types of facilities and how one can get there.

If you’re unable to make it in-person, consider calling in.

Kaffe Landskap is a modern coffee and bakery concept in Denver’s Union Station neighborhood. The Kaffe Landskap brand is based on the Swedish origin of the client and the previous cafes he has in NYC. The design is warm and minimalistic, emphasizing rich and authentic materials to reflect the quality of the food and drinks. Kaffe Landskap @ Coloradan was completed in October of 2019.
