    Calculate the total wall surface area of a cubic emergency treatment room to determine optimal sanitization protocols and staff movement patterns during peak periods, given the room's side length in feet. The surface area calculation should exclude the floor and ceiling to focus only on the four walls where medical equipment and sanitization stations need to be positioned.
