bifunctional room design – positive pressure ventilated lobby

[Anonymous]

Hi
I’m interested to know whether anyone has had experience with this design that provides both negative flow isolation and protective isolation (as per a pos pressure design) . Nothing to be switched.

Design tests- https://www.bsria.com/uk/news/article/design-of-isolation-rooms-for-infection-control/

Specification – https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/148503/HBN_04-01_Supp_1_Final.pdf

Evaluation study – https://www.journalofhospitalinfection.com/article/S0195-6701(20)30283-8/fulltext

it has a positive anteroom relative to corridor and the room

Best wishes
John
