Dr. Dimitrie Gerota Emergency Hospital has been developed in full accordance with NZEB (Nearly Zero Energy Building) performance criteria. The entire building envelope is engineered as a high-performance thermal enclosure, ensuring compliance with all NZEB standards.

 

The façade incorporates a combination of glazed and opaque elements using multiple advanced façade systems, including:

​

• Stick curtain wall (CW) system

• Double-skin façade

• Mesh screen façade

• Channel glass façade

• Ceramic-clad rainscreen system

• External insulated façade system

• Mesh roof screen system

 

A custom stick curtain wall system is designed with horizontally and vertically protruding mullions, incorporating integrated LED lighting to satisfy the architectural design intent and enhance the building’s nighttime identity.

To meet the overall architectural objectives, a custom double-skin façade with an outer aluminum mesh layer has been developed. The perforated mesh provides a unique architectural expression while maintaining a lightweight structure. The system enables modular fabrication and installation for improved constructability and quality control.

 

A full scope of façade consultancy services was provided to the architectural design team, including:

​​

• Façade material studies and technical evaluations

• Performance criteria development and compliance advisory

• Detailed façade design packages and shop-drawing coordination

• Performance-based technical specifications

• Bill of Quantities (BOQ) preparation

• Structural system integration and coordination

• Multidisciplinary interface review and resolution
