Healthcare facilities often install mechanical lifts to help staff avoid injuries from patient handling. However, some mechanical lifts require more time and space and are not always as comfortable, safe, and secure as manual patient handling. Few studies have used a prospective controlled design to evaluate the effectiveness of ceiling lifts in reducing risk of musculoskeletal injury to care staff; increasing staff satisfaction; and assessing preferred methods of lifting, transferring, and repositioning residents.

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.
