Health-care associated infections (HAIs) account for an estimated 100,000 deaths a year in the U.S. alone. While Europe, Asia and Africa have employed natural ventilation in health-care facilities for many years, this approach has been largely discouraged in North America. This seminar provides a summary of the infection data collected to date; describes the different natural ventilation strategies employed in different parts of the world; compares the standards and guidelines that underpin building codes; and illustrates actual design solutions with case studies that have been built in the Caribbean, Africa and Asia.
