B. ORGANIZATION OF WORK ELEMENTS Various work elements or influential factors are identified in the first part of the methodology through the case study in IMCH ,Calicut medical college campus. This requires the use of various scientific equipments and computer simulations. The varios factors identified will be - the glazing luminous transmission coefficient, - the faade configuration, - the opening orientation - the room width. -the wall reflection coefficients -site planning of spaces -humidity and temperature in study area. Out of these ,those that are easier to be applied on an existing building are given special importance,with minimum modifications to the existing structure. The site zoning of spaces are given less importance as in an urban context it will be very difficult,and hospitals look for functional importance rather than other factors.
METHODOLOGY CHART
Act 3 .This process is the most hectic one.Before starting this activity care should be taken to hire personnels for survey, procure the equipments required(lux meters etc for measuring lighting intensity). As the case study hospital(imch) is of remarkable size and shape,no:of personnels required: Surveyors-3 Draftsman-1 Equipment personnel-2 Lux meters required -3 Time required with these many resourses are- 2 weeks. For survey,measurement and compiling data. -1 week for analysis Act 5.Once the survey is the analysis compiles the percentage of energy consumption .This is done by the researcher himself .Once the percentage is obtained it is correlated with other studies done and compiled. Time schedule -1 week Act 4. Time schedule-1 week Act 5. Simulation model of the spaces to be prepared. Equipments required-a computer,softwares and a personnel knowing the softwareTime schedule-2 weeks to 1 month Act 6-energy consumption reduction value from the simulated model-2 days. Total time till validation-4 months Act 7-sent the simulation model and findings for validation .-2 years-5 years. Act 8 I will not be able to estimate the time period-it might take years to decades to be implemented in a government hospital project in kerala.
C. STUDY AREA
My study area only concerns with government hospitals ,not private hospitals as energy efficiency and cost reduction is very important in their case as they are subsidized centers and requires a cost reduction in services to channel the money to other important aspects such as good health services. It is limited to hospitals in hot humid climate, basically in south India, because it will be difficult to study in entire India because of the variation in daylight hours at all places.

7. ABSTRACT OF RESEARCH PROJECT. The objective of the work was to evaluate the methods and impacts of lighting energy savings on global energy consumption in hospital buildings in hot humid climate through case studies done. This evaluation comes from an integrated approach combining the day lighting and the thermal aspects. The study presented here is based on simulation results. Several faade configurations have been modeled, for the four main orientations and three combinations of internal wall reflection coefficients. These simulations were performed by coupling a daylighting simulation tool (ADELINE) and a dynamic thermal simulation software (TRNSYS). These simulations allows me to determine the main parameters playing a rule on
lighting consumption. I learned that daylighting can reduce artificial lighting consumption from certain percentage . The global primary energy saving coming not only from the reduction of the lighting consumption but also from the reduction of lighting internal loads could then reach 40%, for a type of glazing usually used in hospital buildings. Research in daylighting of hospitals focuses on increasing how much natural light we can use in imch, so as to decrease energy consumption for lighting, heating and cooling, improve comfort and well-being, generate aesthetical value, and provide a connection to the outside. Simulation based tools have been used for getting to the final result.
