In the wake of the 2020 ASHRAE Winter Conference and AHR Expo, let us look forward to the next era of innovation in the HVAC industry. 

Established in 2013, the Potsdam, New York-based St. Lawrence Health System is the largest employer in St. Lawrence County with 1,400-plus employees operating two hospitals and several extension outpatient facilities.

The recently publicized reports of children dying from Aspergillus fungal infections once again brings into question the culture around reporting errors in U.S. hospitals. 

ASHRAE Standard 62.1, “Ventilation for Acceptable Indoor Air Quality,” is the gold standard for maintaining indoor air quality in occupied spaces. 

Evidence directly tying the indoor environment to states of health or disease continues to emerge.

The United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Convention’s Chapter 800, “Hazardous Drugs — Handling in Healthcare Settings,” goes into effect Dec. 1.

Mother Nature, unforgiving with wasteful and inefficient strategies, just sent a memo on designing HVAC systems to both support occupant health and reduce energy consumption. Let’s take a look.

Continuous airflow measurements during anesthesia monitoring, intensive care treatment, and in clinical and ambulatory environments provide important information for the assessment of cardiorespiratory and breathing circuit behavior.

This month’s Facility File focuses on retrofitting a hospital’s patient floor with the addition of one fan-powered HEPA filter unit per patient room on a 30-patient room floor. The Facility File will focus on the B2B September test to improve the room air-purification environment and to trap particles that are 0.3 microns or larger.
