Strategies related to the design of the built environment should be considered within the context of the culture of the organization and the resident population. This study of the physical environment of residential health, care, and support facilities addresses the range of settings and population, where other studies have been lacking. The literature review strongly suggests that the built environment is an important component of care provided in residential care settings.

The aesthetics and design of a medical treatment facility can influence energy consumption, staff performance, and patient recovery. Evidence-Based Design (EBD) has been cited in many studies as an effective way to improve healthcare outcomes and hospitals’ performance, but further investigation is needed. This is particularly true at a whole-building level, to reveal the relationship between building design and health, and to observe the performance of newer building designs, especially with regard to green healthcare buildings.

Buildings in Singapore use fully glazed-façade systems because of their daylight advantages of low consumption of lighting energy and the aesthetic satisfaction of full external views. High energy consumption, thermal discomfort, and issues with noise control are some of the disadvantages associated with single-glazed façade systems. Double-glazed façade ventilation systems are believed to address these issues.
