The best care for
water
air
Residential care centers have specific ventilation requirements that not only ensure the health and well-being of residents, but also comply with strict laws and regulations. From Flemish regulations, it is mandatory to draw up a ventilation plan. This plan ensures that there is adequate air quality in the care center rooms, essential for a healthy indoor climate.
At AQ International, we offer a total solution for ventilation in residential care centers, with which we can completely relieve your care facility. We take care of the maintenance, cleaning and optimization of ventilation systems and, in addition to inspection and cleaning of ventilation ducts, we also offer to make the system airtight and adjust the air flow rates correctly.
Air quality in an assisted living facility is crucial to the health of residents and staff. A poorly ventilated room can lead to head and eye irritations, respiratory problems, fatigue and other health complaints. Legislation states that CO2 levels should not exceed 900 ppm under normal conditions, and if there is an increased risk of contamination with respiratory viruses, they should not exceed 1,200 ppm.
The five most important services for residential care centers:
The ventilation plan is required by law, and AQ International helps you with the complete design and implementation of this plan. We make sure the system meets the CO2 and ventilation flow standards for your assisted living facility.
We measure the air quality, adjust the flow rate and provide periodic monitoring and adjustments based on the measured values.
A well-maintained ventilation system ensures optimal air quality and efficient energy use. We offer thorough ventilation duct cleaning and air flow control, which is essential to meet regulatory requirements and maintain air quality.
In addition, we make sure your ventilation system is airtight, so there is no air loss, which also helps save energy.
In addition to regular maintenance, we also offer to evaluate the current status of air handling units. We optimize and renovate these systems as needed so they function better, last longer and become more energy efficient.
This is especially important in older healthcare facilities where systems often no longer meet current standards.
At AQ International, we make sure your ventilation system is energy efficient. We modify systems to use up to 30% less energy.
This is achieved by tuning air flow rates, improving airtightness and optimizing air handling units. This not only reduces energy costs, but also contributes to a more sustainable residential care center.
To meet safety and quality standards, it is essential to regularly inspect and maintain your ventilation system.
We offer a periodic inspection, where we test the system, clean filters, and check settings to ensure that your system continues to operate optimally and meet all requirements.
Residential care centers are considered high-risk institutions within the Legionella Decree. This means that a correct and up-to-date risk inventory and an effective Legionella management plan are imperative to protect residents and staff.
At AQ International, we support WZCs not only in creating such a management plan, but also in acute situations.
When elevated legionella levels are detected, we can perform a source investigation and suggest the most appropriate solution based on that, such as:
In addition, air quality in residential care facilities is also of great importance.
Contaminated ventilation systems cause a significant drop in extraction capacity, causing contaminated or moist air to remain in the building longer.
This not only increases the risk of health complaints among residents and staff, but also causes more noise due to overloading the system. Regular cleaning and adjustment of ventilation is therefore essential for the comfort and health of everyone present.
At AQ International, we provide a total ventilation solution for assisted living facilities. From creating the ventilation plan to performing system inspection, cleaning and optimization, we offer everything under one roof. So you can focus on caring for your residents, while we ensure a healthy, safe and energy-efficient environment.
