Hospitals

Healthy air quality and energy efficiency in healthcare facilities

At AQ International, we understand that air quality and energy management are crucial for hospitals, where the health of vulnerable patients is paramount. It is important not only to comply with legislation and health standards, but also to control costs without compromising the quality of care. We offer a total solution for hospitals that helps them ensure healthy air quality while improving the energy efficiency of ventilation systems, even on a limited budget.

The five most important services for hospitals:

Ventilation plan and air quality management

In hospitals, air quality is critical to the well-being of patients, especially those with poor health. Poor air quality can contribute to infections, respiratory problems and other health issues. A ventilation plan is recommended as a result, to meet strict CO2 and ventilation requirements according to Flemish legislation.

Why is it important for hospitals?

In a hospital, it is essential to maintain optimal air quality in all rooms and operating rooms. Poor ventilation can not only reduce comfort for staff and patients, but it also poses a risk for airborne infections.

How AQ International helps:

We help hospitals create and implement a ventilation plan that complies with legislation, set air flow rates correctly and monitor air quality to ensure the system is always working efficiently and safely for vulnerable patients.

Cleaning and adjusting ventilation ducts.

Regular cleaning of ventilation ducts and proper adjustment of air flow rates in hospitals ensures healthy, clean air in the facility. Making ducts airtight prevents air loss and energy waste, improving energy efficiency.

Why is it important for hospitals?

Ventilation systems that are contaminated can contribute to poor air circulation and increased energy consumption, which in hospitals can be detrimental to patient health and increase operational costs.

How AQ International helps:

We offer ventilation duct cleaning, air flow rate balancing and air sealing of ventilation ducts to improve air quality and save energy. Thus, we ensure optimal air quality for patients and staff and help reduce energy costs.

Optimization and renovation of air handling units

In many hospitals, air handling units are an important part of the ventilation system, but aging can make them inefficient. AQ International offers evaluation, optimization and refurbishment of air handling units to improve system efficiency and ensure consistent air quality.

Why is it important for hospitals?

A properly functioning air handling system is essential for infection prevention and patient comfort. Renovation and optimization of air handling units ensures that ventilation systems continue to function optimally, even in older hospitals where systems often no longer meet current standards.

How AQ International helps:

We inspect and evaluate the status of your air handling units, optimize them where necessary, and can renovate them to improve energy efficiency. This ensures reliable ventilation and energy savings in your hospital.

Energy efficiency of ventilation systems

Energy audits are increasingly being conducted in hospitals to monitor and optimize energy consumption. However, implementing energy-saving measures can be challenging, especially with a limited budget. AQ International offers energy efficient solutions for ventilation systems thatcan save an average of 30% energy by preserving air handling with EC fans, optimizing air flow rates and making ventilation ducts airtight.

Why is it important for hospitals?

Hospitals are often energy-intensive due to the constant use of ventilation systems, which can lead to high operating costs. Making ventilation systems energy efficient can significantly help reduce costs without compromising air quality or patient health.

How AQ International helps:

We help hospitals with energy audits and offer customized solutions for reducing energy consumption by optimizing existing ventilation systems. This makes it possible to achieve energy savings without large investments in new systems.

Inspection and periodic maintenance

A hospital requires regular maintenance of its ventilation systems to ensure continuous optimal system operation and good air quality. AQ International offers periodic inspections and maintenance services that ensure ventilation systems continue to function properly and meet health and safety standards.

Why is it important for hospitals?

Regular maintenance is essential to ensure that the ventilation system remains compliant with laws and regulations and provides optimal air quality. This reduces the risk of malfunctions and ensures that the system does not waste energy.

How AQ International helps:

We offer periodic inspections and maintenance services that help maintain good air quality, ensure energy efficiency and help minimize unexpected costs by detecting any problems early.

Hospitals classified as high-risk institutions

Hospitals are classified as high-risk institutions by the Legionella Decree. A correct risk analysis and an up-to-date Legionella management plan are therefore mandatory. In case of elevated legionella levels, AQ International supports with source investigation and solutions such as chemical disinfection, filters, or water treatment.

Ventilation also deserves extra attention. Contaminated ventilation systems reduce extraction capacity, allow contaminated air to circulate longer and create more noise. This can pose health risks to patients and staff alike. Regular maintenance is therefore essential for a safe and healthy indoor climate.

How AQ International unburdens your hospital

At AQ International, we offer a total solution for hospital ventilation systems, focusing on healthy air quality and energy efficiency. From ventilation plan creation to inspection, cleaning and renovation, we ensure that your hospital is fully compliant with legislation, provides a healthy environment for patients and reduces energy consumption costs.
