The body of knowledge and research is increasing dramatically for healthcare designers


Healthcare designers trying to choose interior materials to create facilities that support safety, well-being, worker performance and facilities management can access a dramatically increasing body of knowledge, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.

Design professionals are continuing to build a database and there is also evidence from material-science research.

Information is available from ASTM International, American National Standards Institute, National Electrical Manufacturers Association, International Surface Fabricators Association, American Association of Textile Chemists and Colorists, or by contacting manufacturers' technical consultants, the article said.

This information can help remove delay-creating subjectivity when making material choices.
