HVAC Design Tips for Healthcare & Medical Facilities

If you’re planning to upgrade the HVAC system of your medical and healthcare facility, there are several things you need to consider. This is because your facility faces challenges that are much different from what a residential home or commercial facility normally encounter. You’ll need to work closely with a professional AC repair and replacement contractor on how your new HVAC system should be designed for medical purposes. 

To help you out, our experts at Air Products & Services have shared some important tips to keep in mind below:

Precise Temperature Control

You wouldn’t want your patients to feel too hot or cold while recovering from health issues. Thermal comfort is important in any type of medical or healthcare facility, which is why you need precise temperature and humidity control installed to ensure your facility stays comfortable no matter the weather conditions outside. 

Temperature and humidity controls are also needed in different areas of your facility. For instance, emergency and surgery rooms will need low-level temperatures to prevent the equipment from causing surgical teams to become overheated. After the surgery, they’ll need to raise the room temperature immediately for anesthetized patients to recover body heat lost during operations. Make sure to talk to your trusted air conditioning replacement and maintenance technician about installing a good temperature and humidity control system.

Quality Air Filtration 

In most medical or healthcare facilities, air quality is typically more important than any other feature. Patients’ immune systems tend to be weaker and more vulnerable to bacteria and other contaminants when they’re diagnosed with and being treated for health conditions. Fortunately, the risk of infection and the spreading of disease is greatly reduced with a properly-designed HVAC system equipped with high-quality air filters. You can even provide filtered indoor air that’s cleaner than the air outside with the right system and filter!

With reliable technicians to help with AC troubleshooting, your HVAC system will stay in top condition and keep your medical and healthcare facility clean and safe.
