MEP (Mechanical,Electrical,Plumping) includes vast amount of equipment types and pipelines in the integrated design, leading the coordination of MEP design optimization a major challenge for complex buildings. This document explains the technical processes and characteristics of the three-dimensional MEP design optimization based on BIM(Building Information Modeling), connected with the case of the integrated pipeline optimization design practice of a hospital building. Though establishing the BIM model of four-space underground pipeline network system in a hospital outpatient building, we carried out MEP collision checking, obtaining three-dimensional spatial information 102 collision points. Combined with manual screening we finally identified 67 valid point of conflict, for the construction of secondary pipeline network optimization design. In particular, the suggestion on the promotion and application of BIM-based building MEP design to municipal pipeline network in the future is proposed.

In order to prove the possibility to adopt effectively metal shear panels for practical applications and to define specific design methodology, a case study, related to the retrofitting of the hospital building of Scafati in Campania, is presented in this paper. Based on the results of previous full-scale tests on a real r.c. frame reinforced with pure aluminium shear panels, a design procedure has been implemented in order to define the optimal configuration of shear panels to be applied to improve the seismic performance of the building under consideration. Then, a parametrical study by means of dynamic analyses under different historical records has been developed taking into account different hypotheses of modeling for the RC structure. The obtained results allows to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed system, which is able to increase significantly the seismic performance of existing structure. In addition, the outcomes of the study provide interesting indications for design applications.

One important aspect of hospital buildings is the safety of the occurrence of fire hazards, especially in the fire stairs. The hospital is classified as very crowded because of the large number of inpatients or outpatients who consult at the Malahayati Islamic Hospital or the University of North Sumatra Hospital, both middle and upper-middle class. Because the density level of occupants in hospital buildings is high, it requires a fire ladder that meets the standards, how to apply the fire ladder reliability system and its future recommendations on the Malahayati Islamic Hospital building and the University of North Sumatra Hospital. This study aims to determine the application and analyze the level of reliability of fire stairs in hospital buildings. This study uses data analysis method, namely AHP (Analytical Hierarchy Process) which is based on very effective research to help solve problems in the fire stairs reliability system in the case study of the Islamic Hospital Malahayati, the level of reliability is sufficient, while the University of North Sumatra Hospital has a very good level of reliability. Several design recommendations were made and tested to increase the reliability of fire stairs at Malahayati Islamic Hospital and the University of North Sumatra Hospital; the results can be improved.
