The heating and cooling of patient rooms creates extremely high energy demands, especially since these rooms typically are located around building perimeters to provide natural daylight, and therefore are most affected by the condition of the building’s envelope.

Previous studies have established that indoor illuminance must reach certain levels for proper visual performance, and should also work to enhance spatial perception, security, and well-being. Insufficient indoor lighting can adversely influence patient health outcomes, particularly patient circadian rhythms. The circadian rhythms of elderly patient populations may be especially sensitive to illuminance levels.

Healthcare-associated infections (HAIs) affect approximately one in 25 patients in the US. One study found that an average of fewer than 50% of patient room surfaces are properly cleaned, making infection spread more easily. This study explores the use of a no-touch decontamination method that employs hybrid lighting technology with both white light and UV-A optical radiation.
