Today’s hospitals are a unique building type in a turbulent and challenging business environment. Their mission for healing remains constant and the top priority. How that happens and how it is paid for is anything but constant. Despite the tremendous pressure to lower operational costs with fewer resources and money, ASHRAE and our members can help find ways to continue to make them better. High performing – higher than what? Come find out the characteristics of high-performing HVAC systems that serve a hospital facility. There is certainly more to it than energy efficiency. A building owner provides perspective on common barriers and road blocks that prevent higher-performing designs and operations from occurring. Lastly, recent case studies and examples of high-performance HVAC systems in hospitals are presented that may refute some of the common perceptions.
