Designing electrical systems for hospitals involves strict adherence to stringent codes and regulations. Specialized electrical devices and wiring help meet the demands.
Air handling units should provide proper quality and conditioned air to various hospital areas. Unit capacity should be able to meet limited space functionality or load changes as well as any smoke control requirements. System components should be readily accessible and appropriate for spaces served. In summary, engineers should consider the following: Environmental design criteria for area being served Components desired Unit type required Economic issues affecting design. Using this approach, design engineers can design hospital air handling units methodically and logically.
National and local codes and regulations help ensure emergency power systems keep critical hospital functions up and running during utility power outages.
