Assessment of daylight in rooms with different architectural features

Author(s): Cammarano, S., Pellegrino, A., Verso, V. R. M., Aghemo, C.
In an effort to reduce energy consumption and costs, many designers are focusing on producing buildings that make effective use of natural lighting. Numerous studies have shown how natural lighting holds a variety of potential benefits for building inhabitants; however, further research is needed to better understand how interior and exterior building designs can promote or hinder occupant exposure to natural lighting.

Evidence-based design in an intensive care unit: End-user perceptions

Author(s): Ferri, M., Zygun, D. A., Harrison, A., Stelfox, H. T.
Authors consider evidence-based design (EBD) to be particularly relevant in the case of intensive care units (ICUs) given the high acuity of the patients and the multidisciplinary model of care. This qualitative study describes the experiences of end-users of an ICU designed using EBD principles in Calgary, Canada.

Author(s): Devine, D. A., Wenger, B., Krugman, M., Zwink, J. E., Shiskowsky, K., Hagman, J., Limon, S., Sanders, C., Reeves, C.
A western academic hospital reexamined its design strategy when after three years of building a new facility they had to plan for a new facility to meet their patient capacity. Using a combination of the principles of Transforming Care at the Bedside (TCAB) and Evidence-Based Design (EBD), an interdisciplinary team presented design recommendations.

Integration of occupational health and safety in the facility layout planning, part II: design of the kitchen of a hospital

Author(s): Moatari-Kazerouni, A., Chinniah, Y., Agard, B.
Occupational health and safety (OHS) is a term used for facility designs that factor transportation costs and overall safety into their designs. This article focuses largely on how OHS can be applied to manufacturing facilities; however it uses the redesigning process of a hospital’s kitchen as a launching point for a case study into applying OHS in a new facility layout.
