Patient Rooms and Thermal Comfort Controls

I've always counted the patient rooms as individual spaces, not shared spaces, and have provided a single T stat. Yet, we have separate light controls for the nurses, patient and family areas within this one room. My reasoning is that the patient is there 24 hours a day and their thermal comfort trumps that of the nurses (who can spend a majority of their day in a patient's room but spread out to several patients) and the family whose time is more flexible. Has anyone ever counted the patient room as a shared space?
