Glendale Commercial Hospital HVAC Compliance Systems

Built for Compliance, Reliability, and Patient Safety

Hospitals in Glendale need HVAC systems that do more than heat and cool. They must protect patients and staff, pass rigorous surveys, and run efficiently around the clock. We engineer airside and waterside solutions that meet ASHRAE 170 ventilation rates, California Title 24 energy requirements, and HCAI (formerly OSHPD) expectations—while aligning with Joint Commission standards and CDC guidance for clinical spaces.

Our approach balances code compliance with real‑world operations: resilient designs, clean documentation, precise controls, and rapid service. From isolation suites to sterile environments, every decision supports healthy air and verifiable outcomes.

What Compliance Requires in Glendale

• Clinical zoning with correct pressure relationships: AIIR (negative), protective environment (positive), sterile and semi‑restricted zones.
• Documented air changes per hour (ACH), temperature, and humidity ranges per space classification.
• High‑efficiency filtration up to HEPA with proper sealing, leak testing, and maintenance access.
• Laminar flow and diffuser layouts for operating rooms that support sterility and thermal comfort.
• Continuous pressure, temperature, and humidity monitoring with alarms, trending, and audit trails.
• N+1 redundancy for critical fans and filtration banks; emergency ventilation modes.
• Smoke control interfaces and safe shutdown/startup sequences tied to life‑safety systems.
• Validated TAB (testing, adjusting, balancing) and rebalancing schedules with calibration records.

Design‑Build, Upgrades, and Retro‑Commissioning

Whether you are planning a new wing, repurposing space, or correcting long‑standing comfort and compliance issues, our engineers deliver design‑assist and turnkey solutions. We perform load analysis, ventilation modeling, and controls sequencing to ensure your air handlers, terminal devices, and exhaust systems deliver targeted performance under normal and emergency modes.

We integrate modern dedicated outdoor air systems, energy recovery, isolation exhaust, and appropriately selected terminal strategies (VAV with reheat, constant volume for critical rooms, and pressure‑controlled anterooms). For non‑critical areas, we can apply high‑efficiency technologies to cut energy use while preserving the required pressure cascade and airflow patterns.

Controls are the backbone of compliance. We program sequences that lock in setpoints, manage pressure offsets, track ACH, and generate alarms for drift or component failure. Trend logs and dashboards provide proof of performance for surveys and internal QA.

Pharmacies, Cleanrooms, and USP 797/800

For sterile compounding and hazardous drug handling, we implement pressure‑correct anterooms, HEPA filtration, and exhaust strategies that align with USP 797/800. We coordinate with casework, hoods, and pass‑throughs to maintain directional airflow and cleanability, then validate performance with TAB and documentation your team can present with confidence.

Documentation and Survey Support

• Stamped drawings and submittals suited for plan review and HCAI coordination.
• Sequences of operation, control diagrams, and alarm matrices tied to space classifications.
• TAB reports with measured ACH, pressure relationships, and filter performance.
• Commissioning and functional performance tests, including negative/positive room verification.
• Preventive maintenance plans, spare parts, and filter change schedules.
• Staff training on daily checks, alarm response, and documentation practices.

Service, Monitoring, and Lifecycle Value

We maintain hospital HVAC assets with 24/7 response in Glendale and throughout Los Angeles County. Our programs include remote monitoring, periodic rebalancing, and compliance audits to catch drift early, reduce unplanned downtime, and protect accreditation. When emergencies hit, we stabilize pressures, restore filtration, and return spaces to service quickly—without sacrificing documentation integrity.
