SYSTEM DESIGN DATA

A. DESIGN PHLOSOPHY;
HVAC system in the Hospital/healthcare stands out for its complexities and
stringent demands on indoor air quality, airflow patterns, cross contamination
control, odour control and noise control etc. The hospital air conditioning system
further demands more care in energy aspects due to its longer hours of
operations.

The following factors have been considered for the design of hospital HVAC
services:

1 Individual and quickly responding temperature control for each area.

2 Draft-free air distribution.
3 Labs, kitchen, isolation rooms and toilet exhaust.
4 Fresh air or makeup air supply to maintain IAQ.
5 Humidity control
6 Acceptable noise level.
