Governair LLC, designer and manufacturer of custom air handling solutions headquartered in Oklahoma City, Okla., recently released a new case study of a hospital HVAC retrofit done to improve indoor air quality.
The case study, “Striving for Air Quality Perfection,” features a project at the Turner Center, part of the CoxHealth system, in Springfield, Mo. In an effort to improve IAQ in the facility, the hospital converted the existing HVAC system to a 100 percent dedicated outdoor air system.
According to the study, the project allowed the hospital to increase ventilation rates and get better control over building humidity levels. And by converting to a dedicated outdoor air system, the hospital will likely see an energy cost savings of more than $200,000 annually.
