HVAC | Introduction
Importance Of A Hospital HVAC System
Hospital air conditioning and hospital ventilation systems are required to meet higher standards of performance and
serve a greater function than those in standard buildings.
Hospital HVAC system design presents unique challenges due to the level of demands placed on the it, the heating and
cooling loads and the requirements for dependability and hygiene.
A hospital air conditioning system also has the added challenge of integrating with a number of other complex systems
not present in conventional buildings.
These specifications cover the following types of air-conditioning, heating, ventilation and cold room works:
i) Window AC , Split AC
ii) VRV/ VRF type Air-conditioning System
iii) Packaged type Air- conditioning plants

HVAC | Ventilation
Ventilation
Ventilation is the process of changing or replacing air in any space to control temperature or remove any combination
of moisture, odour, smoke, heat, dust, airborne bacteria, or carbon dioxide, and to replenish oxygen. Ventilation
includes both the exchange of air with the outside as well as circulation of air within the building.
Design Considerations –
Following considerations provide details regarding the various parameters that affect the type of ventilation system
selected for a particular application, and the sizing of the ventilation plant:
National Building Code of India 2005 specified the ventilation requirement as per following table:
Ventilation Requirement for various areas in various buildings :
Application Air Change per hour Application Air Change per hour
Bathrooms 6-10 Entrance halls 3-5
Corridors 5-10 Hospital –sterilizing 15-25

CMM required for ventilation system is thus calculated Based on the volume of the room and from the above table as-
(no. of air changes/ hour) X (volume in cu. m of space to be ventilated)
CMM = ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
60
CMM required for Basement Parking Ventilation
i) Divide the basement in zones of area not exceeding 3000 sqm. in case sprinkler system is provided in basement, if
not, then not exceeding else 750 sqm.
ii) For each zone separate set of supply air fans and exhaust air fans shall be provided. Supply air fans shall not be
required in areas in zone near Ramps or zone with natural ventilation, however sufficiency may be examined.
iii) Minimum 12 air changes/hrs. are required to be provided.

HVAC | Ventilation
Natural Ventilation
Natural ventilation is the ventilation of a building with outside air without using fans or other mechanical systems. It
can be via operable windows, louvers, or trickle vents when spaces are small and the architecture permits.
Three base elements are in natural ventilation design that includes: knowledge about air flow, base air flow, and
calculation the opening location and area.
Maximize wind-induced ventilation by siting the ridge of a building perpendicular to the summer winds.
Naturally ventilated buildings should be narrow. It is difficult to distribute fresh air to all portions of a very wide building
using natural ventilation. The maximum width that one could expect to ventilate naturally is estimated at 45 ft.
Consequently, buildings that rely on natural ventilation often have an articulated floor plan.
Each room should have two separate supply and exhaust openings.
- Site wind Speed = 10km/h

HVAC | Ventilation
Natural Ventilation
Hospital is well naturally ventilated.
Ventilation is done by windows, doors, central courts and cutouts.

Mechanical Ventilation
Mechanical ventilation is one of several forms of ventilation options available. It usually consists of fans, filters, ducts,
air diffusers and outlets for air distribution within the building. It may include either mechanical exhaust system or
exhaust can occur through natural means.
Space Requirement -
i) The space requirement for the equipments, air washers etc., shall be as per the manufacturer‘s recommendations.
ii) The minimum clear height of the equipment and air washer rooms shall be 3.6 m. The actual height required would
depend upon the capacity of the equipment and manufacturer‘s recommendation.
i) The plant room shall be located contiguous to the space to be ventilated to reduce the pressure drop in the system.
ii) Where air washers are also to be installed the room shall be treated with waterproof treatment and shall be located
adjacent to the blower room.
Floor loading & other Structural Requirements -
i) The floor loading of the plant room and air washer room shall be 2000 kg./sq.m
ii) The doors of the plant room and air washer room shall be single leaf, air tight and open able outside.
iii) The air washer room shall be provided with water and drain points.
