Why is air conditioning important for healthcare?
Hospitals and other healthcare facilities need air conditioning to maintain a consistent, comfortable temperature for patients, avoiding fluctuations in temperature which can make certain medical conditions worsen.
Healthcare HVAC systems are also necessary for maintaining a clean environment and filtering out bacteria or pathogens from the air, stopping diseases from spreading around the building.
We can provide customised solutions for your medical facility AC system, improving the air quality and keeping a constant temperature to aid patient comfort and recovery.
Common healthcare air conditioning systems
01
Multi-split AC
A multi-split air conditioning system consists of several indoor units and a larger outdoor unit, enabling you to control the temperature in different rooms or areas of the building. This can be a good option for smaller healthcare facilities.
02
Ducted/HVAC
Providing a mixture of heating, ventilation and air conditioning, a healthcare HVAC system has multiple units connected by ductwork, hidden in the ceiling. It is common to use this type of air conditioning for hospitals.
03
Heat Recovery Ventilation
A heat recovery ventilation system filters out stale air from the building and supplies fresh air from outside, which is heated. This is a more energy efficient option than a HVAC system and ensures there is no cross-contamination of air flows.
How it benefits you
01
Good air qualityFiltering out bacteria, germs, and any other pollutants in the air allows patients and staff to breathe clean air, reducing respiratory issues and stopping illnesses from spreading.
02
Energy cost savingsWhen you invest in an energy-efficient AC or HVAC system, it will reduce energy usage and therefore save you money on your energy bills in the long run.
03
Calm environmentWith long periods of waiting in hospitals and clinics, patients can become frustrated quicker if it is too hot. Regulating the temperature also helps increase staff productivity.
