If this was my task, Sajeev, I would first get full details from the clinicians about what they are actually planning to achieve in this room. Only then can you ever hope to meet their requirements! Such a room obviously needs to be very quiet. Lot’s of acoustic material, then (special ceiling tiles, for example). Remember that the HVAC system will need to be looked in this regard (as a source of noise, that is). Depending upon where it is sited (ie, away from elevators and other sources of electrical noise), and what form of construction is proposed (eg, block-wall versus gypsum dry-wall (etc.)), you may need to consider electrical screening (against interference) within the walls, floor and ceiling. There are various methods of achieving this. The electrical supply must be first class, with very good earthing. Some parts of the world still like the so-called “equipotential points” to be included. I would go for incandescent light fixtures (as against fluorescent) to reduce flicker (or else your EEG patients may react in ways other than those anticipated)! I expect you can get all sorts of room data information also from relevant equipment suppliers. Have fun! smile


If you don't inspect ... don't expect.
