Hospitals & Health Care Facilities

In a busy hospital, environmental comfort and infection control are key factors for faster patient recovery and turnover. Local and international health care authorities agree micro organisms and airborne pollutants may prolong or complicate the recovery of an immuno-compromised patient.

The air-conditioning system is a highly effective mechanism for transporting these contaminants throughout the building. Water and organic materials, a natural food source for moulds and bacteria, are naturally drawn through the air-conditioning system return air and outside air ducts, mixing plenums and amplifying them on filters and coils. Pseudomonas, E.coli, Staphylococcus, Flavobacterium’s, Candida, Non Candida and Rhodotorula are some of the Isolates commonly found in and transported by these systems.

Air quality in isolation wards, operating theatres, intensive care units and other critical care rooms may also be compromised by an imbalance of space pressures. The uncontrolled movement of air will transport a steady supply of airborne contaminants into these areas.
