| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this study is to present evidence-based design of hospital architectures and systems of heating, cooling and ventilation. A Human cough simulation machine, a reproducible swab method of the environmental surface contamination and evaluation formulae of infection risk were developed to evaluate infection risk in health-care facilities. The risk of infection and the effectiveness of protective measures were evaluated in patient rooms, examination rooms and a waiting room. Possible architectural designs with engineering systems and measures in existing facilities which prevent the spread of infection were proposed based on the results obtained from full-scale experiments, field measurements and numerical analyses.
