Abstract

Buildings of healthcare should have requirements and  needs of the design particularly stem from the nature of the functions performed by these requirements, this requirements  stem  from the actual needs of each society, but at the same time can benefit effectively from the experiences of developed countries in this area, both were similar circumstances or different in order to reach the highest performance of the building. In this case, the requirements of indicators are used as a checklist determines which different elements that must be met, and can be relied on studies carried out by some international organization, research and reports of interest in this area as a good source to determine the requirements to be accessible, and in the same context, there are several determinants  of help to improve the environmental performance of the building and check adapted to the  building with the surrounding environment without damaging the building or the environment with the convenience of individual, Which result in knowledge of the requirements the design and trying each side is interested in developing an ongoing basis. So it will deal to find the performance of global rating systems for sustainable healthcare buildings and also deal with the rating system of Egypt as the local system and clarifying each system and achievement Credit of the system of those parameters in order to access to the determinants of improving the performance of the building in the  context of a specific and comprehensive, and then try to gain access to the methodology in the context of the most important credits affecting the performance of the building such as energy, water , emissions, transport, materials and resources.
