FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities 2010

Author: The Facility Guidelines Institute | Size: 7.9 MB | Format: PDF | Quality: Original preprint | Publisher: The Facility Guidelines Institute | Year: 2010 | pages: 450 | ISBN: 9780872588592

On picking up the 2010 edition, users of previous editions of the Guidelines will notice a new organization to the content. This edition has been reorganized to reflect the numbering system of other national codes and stan- dards that design professionals and owners use every day. In addition, for clarity, full paragraph references are used in the text, including the chapter number followed by a hyphen and a sequenced number for each paragraph.
What will also be very noticeable is the new Part 6. For the 2010 edition, the Facility Guidelines Institute has partnered with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers, Inc., by adopting ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170: Ventila- tion of Health Care Facilities as the principal standard for ventilation systems in health care facilities. The 2010 edition of the Guidelines incorporates as Part 6 the 2008 edition of Standard 170, plus all addenda, present and future, issued by ASHRAE. Users can find an explanation of the relationship between ventilation information in the Guidelines text and in Standard 170, as well as information for accessing the Standard 170 addenda, at the beginning of Part 6.
The content of this edition is arranged in six Parts, grouping similar facility types together:

• Part 1 (General) provides information applicable to all health care projects and facility types.
• Part 2 (Hospitals) contains all of the chapters on hospitals.
• Part 3 (Ambulatory Care Facilities) contains chapters on a wide variety of outpatient facility types.
• Part 4 (Residential Health Care Facilities) includes chapters on residential care facilities—nursing, hospice, and assisted living.
• Part 5 (Other Health Care Facilities) contains chapters on other health care facility types that do not fall into the categories of Parts 2, 3, or 4. In this edition they are mobile, transportable, and relocatable units; freestanding birth centers; and adult day health care facilities.
• Part 6 (Ventilation of Health Care Facilities) contains ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170, as discussed above.
