KRIL Hospital
Kiambu Road Investment Limited (KRIL) is a hospital strategically located along Kiambu road in northern Nairobi, Kenya. Developed by AAR, a leading regional medical services provider, the project was developed as a first step to incorporate sustainability into the company’s operations. Through early building simulation modeling with the sustainability consultancy team, KRIL Hospital was able to effectively optimize the performance of the building façade and help pave the way to successfully achieving the numerous sustainability objectives.
This was achieved through the use of state-of-the-art technologies in the design and construction of the building such as an energy-efficient HVAC system, LED lighting with occupancy sensors, water-efficient plumbing fixtures, and a solar photovoltaics system covering 25% of the building’s electricity use.
In addition to achieving EDGE, KRIL hospital will also focus on effective waste management, especially pertaining to the large quantities of medical waste that will arise from the project.
KRIL Hospital has received a Preliminary EDGE certificate from Sintali-SGS.
