Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities

Nuaire offers suitable energy efficient solutions for optimal air quality within a sterile environment

Reducing the risk of humidity and harmful pollutants in areas within hospitals and other healthcare sectors help play a vital role at reducing the risk of infection and discomfort .

Why is ventilation in healthcare important

Proper ventilation allows for the continuous supply of fresh air into the facilities so that the risk of infection is lower and the patients are kept comfortable throughout their recovery. Infections and disease thrive in a hot and humid environment. By having a well-ventilated area the risk of transmission is greatly reduced as the harmful bacteria is being constantly extracted out.

Many medical procedures require specific temperatures and humidity levels to function at their optimal rate. Healthcare workers spend hours working within this environment so as well as having optimal airflow it must be of a temperature that is still comfortable for the employees.

Acute healthcare facilities

The need for ventilation in sterile areas such as operating rooms or isolation rooms is crucial to the care of the patients within the facility. High risk patients that can easily contracting a disease require areas that have an increased amount of airflow compared to the rest of the hospitals. The air to areas such as operating rooms and intensive care units must have a constant air supply to be filtered within the regulations within HEPA. Supplying ventilation systems for healthcare facilities requires careful consideration of airflow pattern, filtration systems, temperature and humidity controls.

Non-healthcare facilities

Ventilation within the healthcare sector is increasingly more demanding. The need for higher airflow with temperature control, to prevent the spread of viruses, risk of infections and keep patients comfortable with a clean and healthy environment. Often a lot of people are sat within these smaller waiting rooms so increased ventilation is a must. There must be a constant supply of fresh air into these areas to ensure toxins and other harmful airborne viruses do not reach the vulnerable patients.

Waiting rooms within hospitals see the highest amount of footfall on a daily basis compared to other secluded areas of the healthcare facilities. The need for comfort levels in both humidity and CO2 levels within these areas are a must. Our XBOXER XBC range of heat recovery units will ensure that there is a constant supply of fresh air all whilst maintaining comfortable thermal levels.

Non- acute healthcare facilities

Non acute facilities are areas within the healthcare sector that do not see such high footfall or air exchange compared to hospitals and there waiting rooms. These places could be anything from dentists, to labs, to surgical centres. These places need adequate ventilation to keep the air flow optimal for the comfort level of the patients and employees within the facility.

Our range of Air Handling Units are a suitable option for non-acute healthcare facilities. These high performance, high efficiency ventilation solutions allow for a cost-effective answer for these larger areas.

Toilets

Toilets have the highest amount of footfall within a school environment and if not ventilated correctly, can lead to increasing issues in odour and other unwanted pollutants.

At Nuaire we have been developing our Twin Fan technology since 1973. It is standard practice for areas, such as toilets, to have a twin fan so thatin the case of a fan failure, there is always a backup in place to ensure air quality remains at a safe level. Our AIRE-VOLVE TWIN FAN range provides a high duty and ultra-low noise setting. Perfect for an educational environment.
