This research aims to elicit and measure the importance of engineering quality standards and sub-indicators within hospital buildings, Based on the theoretical study of the basic components of the quality system in general, and to determine its link to the architectural aspect of hospitals in particular. This is achieved by defining engineering standards in accordance with medical standards in hospital buildings. In addition to conducting a field study and a questionnaire of the opinions of specialists in this field to arrange engineering standards and sub-indicators according to importance, based on the opinions of the sample and the results of the field study.
