Description
Continual advances in medicine and technology necessitate constant reevaluation of the air-conditioning needs of hospitals and medical facilities. Medical evidence shows that proper air conditioning is helpful in preventing and treating many conditions, and ventilation requirements exist to protect against harmful occupational exposures. Although the need for clean and conditioned air in health care facilities is high, the relatively high cost of air conditioning demands efficient design and operation to ensure economical energy management.
