5.1  Comment

5.1.1     The  control  of  the  internal environment should be considered at the brief stage when opportunities to minimise maintenance and running costs can be addressed successfully.

5.1.2     The performance of the building services will be a major determinant of the comfort and perception of the premises by both patients and staff.  Draughts, smells, poor ventilation  and  noise  should  be avoided.
