Ventilation Facilities:

When thinking about improving the energy efficiency of buildings, hospitals are a critical pain point because of their energy consumption and the parameters around any adjustments to the ventilation system. When reducing overall energy usage, proper ventilation and indoor air quality (IAQ) must be maintained to ensure proper infection control and patient safety.
Hospitals consume significantly more energy than buildings and facilities of similar size. The large quantity of outside air necessary for proper ventilation requires an increased amount of energy to condition.
