HOSPITAL VETILATION SYSTEM BALANCING

Ventilation and Testing Requirements for Healthy Hospitals

A ventilation system is effective at reducing hospital infections. HVAC systems are built to keep the indoor air quality (IAQ) safe for patients. Because of the airflow standards, equipment must meet high ventilation rates and filtration requirements. "They include negative pressure in isolation rooms, positive pressure in operating rooms, positive pressure in protective environment rooms, and filtration requirements for all areas of the hospital."
