Özet:

 

In the light of contemporary advancements in technology, architecture and interior design have been immensely progressing every day. While emphasizing the superiority of nanomaterials in favor of sustainability and maintenance, this paper focuses on these advanced materials and their specialties through their use in healthcare design, specifically their use in the patient rooms. The key reason behind this decision is that, healthcare centers are the most energy consuming building type after food industry, which use more material and resources. For this purposes the role of embodied energy and embodied carbon emissions are getting important for this case. The aim of this research is the analysis and discussions about the types of the nanomaterials that are used particularly in the patient rooms, and reveal their impacts in relation with indoor comfort conditions regarding self-cleaning and hygiene; thermal comfort  insulation as well as filtration of excessive natural light ; indoor air quality  not causing pollution, lack of VOC's  etc. This paper further deploys case-based research methodology by selecting the contemporary hospital examples from Istanbul, where both nanomaterials and conventional materials are utilized, in order to set the material performance comparisons. Istanbul based LIV, Kolan and Medicana hospitals' patient rooms have been chosen as the case studies of this paper to reveal the discussion.
