UV And Indoor Air Quality
 

Hospital Engineering and Facilities Management 2004 Congress Invitation, October 2003

American Air & Water®, Inc. received an invitation to participate in the Hospital Engineering and Facilities Management 2004 Congress.

American Air & Water, Inc. is considering a presentation to the Members of International Federation of Hospital Engineering and attendees at the 18th IFHE congress in July 2004 (This event will be held in conjunction with ASHE's 41st Annual Conference and Technical Exhibition)

Today indoor air quality has become a global environmental issue. Within Hospitals indoor air quality plays a significant role in the treatment, recovery and convalescence of patients. While the mere presence of bacteria within this environment is not cause for alarm, control of bacterial levels is critical in minimizing the potential for detrimental health effects. In response organizations like ASHRAE (American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-conditioning Engineers) has created new standards for building operations, which are being incorporated into local building codes for hospitals worldwide. Hospital Engineering and Facilities Management will discuss effective and diligent HVAC and refrigeration design solutions and maintenance programs for the healthcare sector. This will include

Special focus on:

  • Trends and developments in hospital indoor air quality

  • The impact of construction and re-engineering projects upon hospital indoor air quality

  • Airborne fungal and airborne inorganic particulate contaminants

  • Ultraviolet technology (UVC)

  • Air filtration / purification systems

  • Microbial testing

  • Advances in AC duct cleaning

  • Asbestos abatement

  • Mold remediation

  • Allergy and odor control

  • Negative and positive pressure isolation rooms (operating rooms, theatre, intensive care wards)

  • Contamination control for ceiling cavity access and wall access

  • Anterooms for construction and re-engineering projects

  • Anti-microbial coating technology

  • Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) risk assessment

  • ASHRAE, CDC, EPA, EU, OSHA, NADCA & JCAHO regulatory compliance
