(Site Supervision/ Technical Office) Basic Knowledge Areas
π Course Description:
In the realm of healthcare facilities, HVAC systems are not just about maintaining comfortable temperatures; they are critical components that ensure the health and safety of some of our most vulnerable populations. These systems support life-sustaining activities and are subject to stringent regulations and rigorous operational standards. With continuous operation, these systems require meticulous oversight to prevent health, fire, and safety hazards.
π« Why This Course? Healthcare facilities operate 24/7 and are occupied for long life cycles. The HVAC systems within these buildings must coexist with other critical systems like power generation, medical gas lines, transportation systems, fire protection, and extensive IT infrastructure - all in a space that may have limitations. This course is your gateway to understanding the complexities of healthcare HVAC design from various perspectives, including HVAC, Fire Fighting, and Plumbing.
