Testing Sustainable Flooring: A Johns Hopkins Systems Report

Teri Lura Bennett

Using the 2014 edition of the FGI Hospital/Outpatient Guidelines as one resource to structure a test protocol and process, the Johns Hopkins Health System undertook research intended to improve the performance, safety, and cost-efficiency of flooring materials and flooring care. The report provides a snapshot of the conditions encountered during the 2014–15 study period and a summary of the project team’s recommendations. (2018)
