The ASHRAE Global Training Center will offer two courses to address the rapidly evolving needs of healthcare facilities and data centers.

“Today’s data center environments and healthcare facilities are faced with ever-increasing challenges, including the protection sensitive data and reducing the risk of infectious disease spread,” said Ayah Said, ASHRAE Global Training Center manager. “ASHRAE Global Training Center is pleased to provide timely, practical training on these topics along with some many others, with concepts that are applicable to a variety of building projects.”

High Performance Healthcare Facilities Design: Complying with ANSI/ASHRAE/ASHE Standard 170-2017 (MENA), covers general and specific requirements of HVAC design of hospital rooms including airborne infectious isolation rooms, protective isolation rooms, operating rooms, emergency departments, Intensive Care units, pharmacies, psychiatric and sterile processing departments, and infection control risk assessment. The course addresses the role of HVAC systems in reducing Hospital Associated Infections (HAI), explaining airborne versus contact transmission and offers best practices of HVAC design, along with the complexities of designing renovations in operating hospitals. This course is included on the preparatory list for those seeking to sit for the ASHRAE Healthcare Facility Design Professional (HFDP) Certification Exam.
