Abstract

A good healthcare system is a necessity that we cannot disregard in the ever-evolving and rapidly-evolving modern world. A good HVAC system is not only important for delivering comfort, but it may also be used to control infection. This project aims to an efficient HVAC system for a multispecialty hospital to provide optimum comfort and control the spread of harmful pathogen. There are several innovations taking place in HVAC systems this project also aims to integrate them to improve the comfort, overall efficiency and minimize the impact on the environment. The methodology followed is a step-by-step approach in which first the heat load of the entire building as given in plan is calculated and according to the heat load the systems are selected, and comparison is done between VRF, and Chilled water systems and the feasible system is recommended. Special features to improve energy efficiency and IAQ are also discussed.

Keywords
