Partel with LUNOS improving indoor air quality in Hospitals

Airflow and ventilation are critical in healthcare facilities and nursing homes. As a facility dedicated to caring for those who require care while contagious, properly planned and engineered ventilation can considerably limit the spread of airborne diseases and infections, ensuring the safety of caregivers, other patients, hospital workers, and visitors.

Healthcare facilities that are not adequately vented, designed, or controlled might allow airborne diseases to spread throughout the institution. Hospital patients with impaired immune systems and a higher susceptibility to infection are more likely to become infected and spread infections to the rest of the hospital.

According to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), around 80,000 patients, or one in every 18 patients in a European hospital, have at least one healthcare-associated infection on any given day.

Hospitals have a particularly high energy demand and hence there is a significant need for energy-saving measures in that building sector. Energy reductions in hospitals must be done cautiously so that patients, employees, and visitors safety and comfort are not compromised. However, maintaining both indoor air quality and patients safety while reducing energy use is still achievable with Partel Supplied LUNOS Decentralised Systems.

Ductless, compact, energy-efficient and quiet decentralised LUNOS solutions with heat recovery can be utilised in all sorts of hospital rooms, large or small. LUNOS MVHR units doesn't just get rid of stale moist air with new dry air; it also filters it. A healthy environment is always maintained by using this filtration method. In addition, their high-standards filters help to avoid the spread of possible contamination and viruses. Their energy-efficient EC motors, which consume little energy, are easy to adjust and are quiet when in use.

Nursing Homes Should Rethink Ventilations' Role

Residents of nursing homes commonly spend the vast majority of their time indoors where they are exposed to indoor air pollutants for long periods of time.

As the number of elderly citizens begins to steadily increase, it is important to provide them with healthy indoor environments, including optimal indoor to help prevent chronic diseases, respiratory problems, and other debilitating health effects from airborne pollution.

To combat this effort ventilation systems may need to be implemented into their indoor environments, such as nursing homes and assisted living facilities to control airborne pollution levels quickly and effectively.

If the layout of the hospital limits your options for a decentralised ventilation units for some reason, worry not, we also provide centralised ventilation systems, with heat recovery via heat exchangers providing constant air flow. Equally, the system meets strict requirements for air flow, draughts, noise and energy efficiency.
