Installation of new lower level multizone air handler for the remodel of an existing hospital to accommodate 26 new patient rooms.
challenge
It’s no secret that hospital HVAC work can be a heavy lift, from understanding the vital purpose it serves to tackling the unique challenges that come with installation. Such was the case with the RML Specialty Hospital project in Hinsdale. In 2019, CT Mechanical was brought on to help with the remodeling of this existing hospital to transform administrative offices into 26 new patient rooms, including negative pressure isolation rooms.
solution
Without disrupting the hospital’s day to day, we got to working our HVAC magic. Overall, the project consisted of installing a new lower level multizone air handler able to produce 96 tons of air cooling and steam heat for the newly repurposed rooms in the building. Knowing that this air handler would provide a breath of fresh air for patients, we also made sure to utilize VRF technology to allow for individual room controls.
results
When our work was done, all 26 new patient rooms were complete with refreshing, top-notch HVAC—and our team took pride knowing our work would benefit patient recovery, provide optimal patient comfort and help keep the hospital sanitary for years to come.
