Competing Interests

The authors have read the journal’s policy and have the following competing interests: Sabine Kullak is affiliated with the International Feng Shui Association. Ab Rogers and Dean Walker are affiliated with Ab Rogers Design (design studio). This does not alter adherence to PLOS ONE policies on sharing data and materials. These authors solely provided the design details in order to visualize the adaptations in the Feng Shui room and Evidence-Based Design room. They were not involved in any other aspect of the research process, such as methodology, data collection, data analysis or drawing conclusions from the data. Their contribution was limited to the conception of the work (i.e., providing design details of the FS and EBD room), reviewing the draft critically, and providing a final approval of the version to be published.
