In multioccupant patient spaces, the controls must be individual lighting controls. In private rooms, also provide

exterior window shades, blinds, or curtain controls that are readily accessible from the patient’s bed. Exceptions

include in-patient critical care, pediatric, and psychiatric patient rooms.

For all shared multioccupant spaces, provide multizone control systems that enable occupants to adjust the

This is a little late, but it does look like the LEED User's Viewpoint portion is taken from the general BD+C requirements and are NOT completely appropriate to healthcare. Hopefully an editor can correct that soon.
