Eco-effective design (EED) and evidence-based design (EBD) are two powerful trends currently shaping healthcare architecture. EED addresses whether/how the design and operation of buildings improve ecological value and enhance human health. EBD addresses whether/how the design and operation of buildings support positive health outcomes in the built environment through a growing collection of solutions informed by research and practical knowledge. The primary hypothesis of this study was that EBD and EED are compatible approaches to health facility design, especially when addressing the impact of the environment on human health. To explore this hypothesis, healthcare facility administrators were surveyed regarding their perceptions of the relationship between EED and EBD. Input from focus groups and EED and EBD experts was used to formulate the administrator questionnaire. The study concluded that the relationship between EED and EBD typically was synergistic.
生态效益设计（EED）和循证设计（EBD）是当前塑造医疗建筑的两股强大趋势。EED 涉及设计和运营建筑物如何提高生态价值并增进人类健康。EBD 涉及设计和运营建筑物如何通过越来越多的研究和实践知识为支持积极的健康结果提供解决方案，从而在建筑环境中支持积极的健康结果。本研究的主要假设是，EBD 和 EED 是健康设施设计兼容的方法，尤其是在解决环境对人类健康的影响时。为了探索这一假设，对医疗设施管理人员进行了调查，以了解他们对 EED 和 EBD 之间关系的看法。来自焦点小组和 EED 和 EBD 专家的意见被用来制定管理人员调查问卷。研究得出的结论是，EED 和 EBD 之间的关系通常是协同的。
