Vinyl: A Modern Material for Modern Healthcare (Removed)

This course is no longer active. AEC Daily will not report completion information for this course.

Some of the design goals for healthcare buildings are efficiency and cost-effectiveness, cleanliness and sanitation, security and safety and sustainability. Vinyl’s unique attributes mean that it can address these needs in a number of locations in the building. This course reviews those attributes through a look at the chemistry and performance characteristics of vinyl, and its innovative uses for healthcare design challenges.

Upon completion of this course, the Learner should be able to:

  • Define the basics of the vinyl production process, including emissions and chemistry.
  • Describe safety attributes and benefits of vinyl in healthcare, such as cleanability, durability, fire resistance, and slip resistance.
  • Identify vinyl’s application to sustainable healthcare design, including indoor environmental quality
  • Discuss how vinyl supports healthcare innovation, such as a reduction of healthcare-acquired events like slips, falls, or infections.

Approximately 1 hour, 30 minutes. Delivered online, at your own pace.
