Changes to the 2017 version:

Clarification that controls to change pressure relationships between spaces are prohibited for all spaces, not only airborne infection isolation and protective environment rooms
Reduction in requirements for electroconvulsive therapy procedure rooms
Reduction in requirements for laboratories when allowed by certain calculations
Higher requirements for higher hazard exhaust air streams
Coordination of space temperature requirements in the Sterile Processing Department with other industry groups
Clarification of the definition of the primary diffuser array in operating rooms
