The San Francisco Javier Hospital, recognised by the National Sanitary System as public hospital of Assin district, is the reference structure for 41 surgeries scattered in the area. The New Surgical Ward project proposal is meant to offer an answer to the increasing demand of beds and to create a ward dedicated to the stay in hospital of post-operated patients. The project solution respects the typologies and the constructional techniques of the existing structures. The application of environmental planning and the environmental impact valuation are the main methodological aspects applied to have a correct and integral organisation and management of the building process in order to guarantee the real sustainability of the work. The benefi ts that can be obtained by using renewable energies have been optimised by the use of local resources, producing great advantages for illumination, ventilation and cooling. Correlating typological and technical characteristics of the building with the climate characteristics has minimized the contribution of the systems.
