13、 reports, when available, usually address one specific performance focus. For example, energy conservation reports often do not adequately cross-reference the effects of energy conservation measures on safety, health support, or comfort. And in many cases, health care buildings require more stringen
14、t performance controls than those originally specified, given the vulnerability of patients to the risk of infection and the spread of fire and/or smoke, and the dangers for all occupants of poor internal air quality (IAQ). Health care projects must face the challenge of providing continuous, reliab

They face rising financial constraints, while having to incorporate technological growth and to adapt to suit the changing health needs a
16、nd expectations of the community. globalization has increased the need to safeguard patients, staff, and the community. The sensitivities and susceptibility of health-impaired patients and the vulnerability of continually exposed staff present multiple concerns, including financial risks from increa
17、sed absenteeism. IAQ control is now entrenched as a prerequisite to providing a healthful workplace. The vulnerability of the hospital?s occupants to infections increases with the length of their exposure and their vulnerability to the effects of poor IAQ. A transition to performance-based regulatio
18、ns will identify the owner as the party responsible for protection from hazards and for a widening range of expectations, from ensuring wellness to protecting the environment. Cost-avoidance has become a predominant focus for health care administrators. One consequence is a decrease in trained medic
19、al, nursing, and support personnel, which in turn is expected to make it more difficult to responsibly service the needs of patients and provide labour-intensive maintenance of building systems. Providing good health care in an accountable manner requires decisions based on risk analyses and sensiti
20、vity studies of the total costs. Increasing the reliability and serviceability of technical building systems will often prove to be cost-effective, both on a short-term basis and in accruing long- term benefits. Across-the-board downsizing of staff, when applied to the labour-intensive operation and
21、 maintenance of existing systems and components, may not only increase exposure to risks but prove to be financially counterproductive. Nationwide initiatives to restructure health care have underscored the growing need for Co-operative knowledge-sharing and proactive pathfinding by the constituent
22、groups in the health care field. The stakeholders in existing facilities that face uncharted future requirements and constraints must undertake this joint burden, individually and collectively. Interdependence must be a keyword in the attempt to circumvent avoidable risks and problems in building pr

27、n Clauses 2 and 3 are to (a) assess the performance of the buildings technical systems and the ability of management to meet the projects health care purposes and to adapt to developing trends; (b) apprise the hospital of the apparent condition and capacity of the systems and the effectiveness of op

29、airs, or maintenance; (iii) environmental impact considerations; (iv) improved levels of performance quality; (v) cost effects; and (vi) recommendations for actions and remedies; (d) add to the projects database for asset management, for project planning, anG for recommissioning systems; and (e) col

37、 system. Assessments of facility management, however, examine the programming and execution of building systems management as a “people system”. This component of health care management is of significant importance to the ongoing safety and functioning of a project. The problems building services ma
38、nagers face in achieving new, or more stringent, performance criteria, while coping with often inadequate technical systems, are particularly magnified in existing projects. 2 February 2000 O CSA International Guidelines for Elementary Assessments of Building Systems in Health Care Projects 1.4.4 As
