HVAC audit

Audit of the heating, ventilation and air conditioning

systems in the healthcare facilities.

Ventilation system in the hospitals is an integral part of the

epidemiological control and serves to maintain appropriate clean

environments and temperature, relative humidity, air exchange rates, air

velocity and direction.

Major parameters of the HVAC system audit involve inspection of the

main calculated air volumes, air exchange rates, overpressures

strategy and air distribution, types and parameters of the ventilation

equipment, air flow controllers, filters, humidification strategy and air

recirculation, heat recovery and reservation strategy.

Well planned HVAC system allows prevention of the airborne infections

spread, easy maintenance and significantly cheaper operating costs.

There are some common mistakes of the HVAC system in hospitals

that include air exchange rates, air balances, air recirculation concepts,

heat recovery, clean room ventilation and biosafety level laboratory

ventilation. The other major issue concerns noise levels coming from

the ventilation equipment.

Our experts undertake detailed inspection of the major technological

and planning concepts for the HVAC system in accordance to the local

and international standards as well as taking in to consideration the

recommendations of the leading associations as well as WHO and

CDC guidelines.
