This month’s Facility File will focus on the B2B June test for the renovation of an office building located on a major corporation’s U.S. headquarters campus. The existing HVAC system to be replaced is an antiquated hot water heating system serving baseboard radiation, unit heaters, and a rooftop HVAC unit.

Within a hospital facility, there is the environment health and safety (EH&S) department, medical equipment management department, custodial department, and O&M department, to mention just a few — each with their own infection control (IC) responsibilities.

Last month, I opened a discussion on how I have enjoyed integrated project delivery (IPD) and design-build (D-B) projects over the years and how I have been fortunate to learn from other team members as I shaped my “full team participation” (FTP) process.

This month, the focus is on high-performance health care, and so it got me thinking about IAQ and infection control (IC) within hospi-tals.
