To maintain accreditation, the operations staff in a hospital has to maintain and demonstrate performance of the HVAC systems that pressurize critical spaces. Success starts with mechanical design principles and continues through construction and commissioning. Finally, it persists in a formal, documented performance monitoring program. This session explains physical aspects of pressurization, analyzes design approaches and design decisions. Finally, it presents the ideas and execution of a monitoring and maintenance program that supports infection control and accreditation.
