Hospital system performs successful hvac transplant
North Broward Hospital District (NBHD) in Fort Lauderdale, the largest public hospital system in Florida, is aware of the economic pressures that face the health care industry today. The non-profit community health system encompasses four acute-care hospitals, plus 35 other satellite facilities, while remaining committed to improving the health of the community through affordable medical services and innovative programs.
A proactive hvac retrofit is even more ambitious than usual for a non-profit entity, but the district officials knew such action was in the best long-term interests of the population it serves. Upgrading and replacing hvac equipment would also improve efficiency, which adds up across the system's 2.5 million sq ft of facilities.
