Commercial Hospital HVAC Compliance Systems in Santa Monica

Compliance that Protects Patients and Operations

Healthcare ventilation is mission-critical. We engineer hospital HVAC systems that help your Santa Monica facility meet or exceed ASHRAE 170 ventilation rates, FGI Guidelines for design, NFPA 99 risk categories, and California HCAI submittal and inspection requirements. Our approach emphasizes infection control, reliable pressurization, and detailed documentation to support Joint Commission survey readiness and continuous compliance.

Turnkey Commercial Services for Hospitals and Clinics

• Design-build and design-assist for new wings, renovations, and tenant improvements
• Isolation room conversions (AIIR/negative pressure) with continuous pressure monitoring

• Dedicated outdoor air systems (DOAS), AHU retrofits, and energy code Title 24 compliance
• HEPA and UV-C integration, filtration upgrades, and IAQ strategies
• BAS integration and analytics (BACnet/Modbus), alarm thresholds, and trending
• TAB (testing, adjusting, and balancing), commissioning, and retro-commissioning
• 24/7 emergency service, temporary HVAC, and phased construction support

Engineered for Coastal Santa Monica Conditions

Santa Monica’s marine layer and salt air demand corrosion-aware design. We specify coastal-grade coatings, protective placements, and maintenance strategies to extend equipment life and stabilize performance. Careful airflow management avoids infiltration, supports stable pressurization, and preserves cleanroom and surgical suite standards even during coastal humidity swings.

Pressure Control, Filtration, and Monitoring

We implement pressure zoning with dedicated exhaust and make-up air, tight envelope practices, and real-time differential pressure monitoring. HEPA filtration and UV-C air treatment add layers of protection for high-acuity spaces. Alarm logic and dashboards provide instant visibility to facilities teams, while historical trending simplifies root-cause analysis and surveys.

Controls and Data You Can Trust

Our controls strategy favors open protocols and clear documentation. We integrate with existing BAS via BACnet/Modbus, deploy calibrated sensors, and establish setpoint governance with role-based access. You get validated sequences of operation, points lists, as-builts, and O&M packages that stand up to audits and help maintain compliance.

Factory Training Where It Matters

Our engineers are factory-trained with Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Elektrik (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Hier (China). That means we understand the nuances of these systems and how to apply them within healthcare environments—whether for administrative areas, clinics, diagnostic suites, or support spaces—while we engineer central plants, AHUs, and specialized ventilation to meet healthcare codes and your facility standards.

Process, Documentation, and HCAI Coordination

• Preconstruction: scope validation, ICRA planning, constructability and phasing
• Design: load calculations, airflow and pressure mapping, sequences of operation
• Permitting and HCAI: submittal packages, RFI management, inspections support
• Construction: infection control barriers, negative air during work, QA/QC checkpoints
• Commissioning and TAB: verification of pressurization, airflow, temperature, humidity
• Training and Handover: staff training, O&M manuals, warranty and service plans
• Continuous Optimization: analytics, filter strategies, energy tuning, life-cycle planning

Safety-First, ICRA-Compliant Execution

We coordinate closely with infection prevention, facilities, and clinical leadership. Work areas are isolated with proper barriers and negative air, paths are controlled, and debris is managed to protect patients and staff. Our teams follow ICRA and ILSM protocols to keep critical operations uninterrupted.

Energy, Sustainability, and Title 24

We align hospital HVAC with California Title 24 and decarbonization goals where appropriate. Strategies include heat recovery, demand-controlled ventilation in eligible zones, premium-efficiency equipment, and advanced scheduling. The result is lower operating cost without compromising clinical safety or compliance.
