Summary:

"The new standard was developed in response to the widespread adoption of person-centered care and deinstitutionalization in the residential care industry. Based on Part 4 (Residential Care Facilities) of the 2010 edition of the FGI Guidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facilities and public proposals submitted on that text in fall 2011, the book is divided into a section on planning and predesign, a section on design and construction elements common to all facility types in the book, and three sections grouped by facility type. ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170-2013: Ventilation of Health Care Facilities has been included as Part 6"--Facility Guidelines Institute website.
