This six-story hospital addition showcases a sophisticated mechanical system engineered to support critical medical functions while prioritizing energy efficiency and patient comfort. The addition includes 10 new state-of-the-art surgical suites, a central processing department, and a modern intensive care unit (ICU), all supported by an advanced HVAC infrastructure designed to meet the unique demands of a healthcare environment.

At the core of the system are multiple large Variable Air Volume (VAV) units with hot water reheat terminal units, ensuring precise temperature control and optimal air quality across diverse hospital zones. Additionally, radiant heating panels are installed to provide consistent, gentle warmth, enhancing the comfort levels in patient-centric areas like the ICU.

Energy efficiency is addressed through the integration of multiple large energy recovery units that feature enthalpy wheels. These systems capture and reuse energy from exhaust air, significantly reducing the energy required to heat and cool fresh incoming air, thus lowering overall operational costs and boosting sustainability.

The chilled water system is particularly complex, incorporating a strategy to utilize waste heat from the system to pre-heat domestic hot water.

Together, these mechanical systems create an environment that supports high-level medical care while ensuring patient comfort and operational efficiency, making the hospital addition a leading example of modern healthcare infrastructure.
