Abstract. This study has presented some new methods to enhance the quality of the curing indoor environment for those lung patients who admitted to the hospitals. With the increase of air pollution in the developed countries, Smoke and also dust storms, occurring in countries such as Iran, Iraq and Saudi Arabia in recent years, pulmonary disease and respiratory allergies have been increased. In the case of Iran, in addition to the lack of specialized medical centers, the low quality of these centers is also crucial and so it is required to consider some methods in order to improve the quality of the medical centers, especially for those pulmonary patients who are admitted to the hospitals for a very long time and their conditions are more crucial than the other patients in pulmonary disease. In the presented method, the suitable environmental conditions is discussed for pulmonary patients, including making healthy places using green designing inside and outside of the clinic, considering atrium according to special
conditions of the pulmonary patients to reach the highest interior design quality and endorsing it by using opinion poll of the admitted patients and data analysis.
Key words: Pulmonary disease, Hospital, Healing environment, Atrium.
