Description
You’re working on a specific project type and want to know all you can about the evidence. You want to know the latest on noise or another outcome. You want to find out more about a layout issues for planning. You may have internal databases, you can look at other projects, but you also want to know what the research says. Keeping up with the latest research can be a challenge, and often you have to pay for papers. The AIA Academy of Architecture for Health and the Center for Health Design (a non-profit that advances design to improve outcomes) have created a substantial knowledge repository of research studies covering a range of topics that grows on a daily basis. There are currently more than 4,000 entries and more than 700 summaries. This session will cover the scope of the Knowledge Repository, and how to use it, through a live demo for behavioral health, as an example.
