engineering in health facilities

The Presentations the 44^th AIVC - 12^th TightVent - 10^th venticool  Conference "Retrofitting the Building Stock: Challenges and Opportunities for Indoor Environmental Quality", held in Dublin, Ireland on 9-10 October 2024.

The current state of building services engineering in the healthcare sector is characterized by ambiguity and prejudice. There is a conflict, with inadequate knowledge of the necessity and effectiveness of ventilation-based protection concepts on the one hand with the associated investment and operating costs if an integral view is adopted and the economics of antibiotic prophylaxis and infection treatment costs on the other.
