MUMBAI, India, July 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641082173 A) filed by Sr University on July 03, 2026, for A Sustainable Layout Design System Using Waste, Water, And Air Flow Mapping For Hospital Infrastructure Optimization.
Inventors include Packiaraj C; and Dr. Ramesh Babu.
The application for the patent was published on July 10, 2026, under issue no. 28/2026.
Abstract: A SUSTAINABLE LAYOUT DESIGN SYSTEM USING WASTE, WATER, AND AIR FLOW MAPPING FOR HOSPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE OPTIMIZATION The invention relates to a software-based system for sustainable hospital infrastructure optimization through integrated mapping of waste, water, and air flows. The system comprises an Overlay Engine (100) that superimposes resource pathways over hospital floor plans using BIM/CAD integration, a Contamination Zone Predictor (200) employing AI algorithms to identify and flag cross-contamination risks with a quantified Risk Index (210), and a Sustainability Scoring Algorithm (300) that evaluates energy consumption, flow efficiency, and compliance with green building standards to generate a composite Sustainability Score (350). A Suggestion Engine (400) provides actionable recommendations for layout modifications, equipment relocation, or flow re-routing, supported by Cost-Benefit Analysis (410). Specialized Hospital-Specific Modules (500) address critical zones including operation theatres (540), ICUs (550), CSSD (570), biomedical waste storage (510), water segregation (530), sewage and drainage (520), and AHU pathways (560). A Visualization Dashboard (600) delivers 3D flow animations, comparative layouts, real-time simulations, and sustainability reports. The system holistically reduces contamination risks, minimizes energy-intensive resource transport, and enhances compliance with hospital design standards and green building certifications, thereby improving patient safety, operational efficiency, and environmental sustainability.
