Programme Highlight:
Session 1 – Net Zero Energy Hospital Design (by Frank Mills)
Hospitals have traditionally been high energy users. Recent research has shown that hospitals can be designed and operated as 'Net Zero Energy' or even Positive energy, contributing to their local community's low carbon targets and that this approach can be cost effective and sustainable.
This seminar includes reports from European research, UK based energy targets and North American ambitions to reduce toward zero. It highlights the fact that cost effective technologies already exist but need to be adopted and applied in new and existing facilities. Support such as a proposed new REHVA and ASHRAE design guide on NZE Hospitals is discussed.
Session 2 – Isolation Facilitates in Hospital (by Emily Wong)
In this technical seminar, the speaker will explore the critical role of HVAC design and infection control in ensuring the safety and effectiveness of isolation facilities for hospitals, including isolation wards, convertible wards (peace mode/pandemic mode), and isolation operation theatres.
The seminar will cover the latest best practices and strategies for achieving precise pressure control, advanced HVAC systems, and effective infection control measures in these critical healthcare environments, with a focus on real-world examples and case studies from leading hospitals and healthcare facilities around the world.
