Track: Standards, Guidelines and Codes
Sponsor: 1.4 Control Theory and Application, 9.6 Healthcare Facilities, 7.5 Smart Building Systems
Chair: Frank Shadpour, P.E., Fellow ASHRAE, SC Engineers, Inc., San Diego, CA

Progressive hospitals are leveraging their building automation systems to document compliance with the codes and standards required by various regulatory agencies for medical service accreditation. The quantity and penetration of smart devices used in every facet of health care spaces is increasing at remarkable rates. The first speaker describes the recent advances in available tools and methods used to automate the collection and presentation of smart device data for compliance reporting. The second speaker presents strategies for retrocommissioning building automation systems in hospitals while meeting their enhanced code requirements.

1. Harvesting Data in Smart Hospitals for Code Compliance Reporting
Daniel Farrow, Palomar Health, San Diego, CA
The quantity and penetration of smart devices used in every facet of health care spaces is increasing at remarkable rates. Applied to healthcare, IoT includes intelligent convergence and integration of sensor data collected via medical devices and mobile technologies. With the ultimate goal of a single user interface to control and monitor all hospital smart systems, this seminar introduces the concept of a “building automation dashboard.” The presentation describes how building automation dashboards are revolutionizing the healthcare industry by assisting in compliance reporting.

2. Retrocommissioning Strategies to Save Energy in Existing Hospitals
Joseph Kilcoyne, P.E., Member, SC Engineers, Inc., San Diego, CA
California’s code requirements for hospital facilities are among the most restrictive in the nation. Requirements for pressurization, temperature and humidity control, air change rates and filtration prevent most designers from attempting to implement energy saving control strategies common to commercial spaces. This seminar presents proven strategies to implement RCx measures while meeting and exceeding the requirements of the California Mechanical Code. Typical savings and payback periods, case studies and lessons learned will be presented.
