    Ventilation in Hospital Projects

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses ventilation requirements and strategies for hospital projects. It compares two main systems: one using a central air handling unit (AHU) with pressure sensors, and one using variable air volume (VAV) boxes as master-slave units. The central AHU system allows for constant airflow and precise pressure control but has higher energy costs, while the VAV system has lower installation costs but less control over airflow and pressure. Fresh air supply can come from a central AHU or local fan coil units (FCU) for each room.

    central AHU or FCU for each room
    • Central AHU supply • FCU supply cool air
    cool air and fresh air independent for each
