Commercial Hospital & Lab Ventilation in Santa Monica — Daikin Systems

Scope of Commercial Hospital & Lab Ventilation Services

We provide full‑stack ventilation solutions for healthcare and research facilities in Santa Monica and across Los Angeles County. Our team handles design, installation, commissioning, and maintenance for high‑stakes environments where precision airflow and verifiable cleanliness are non‑negotiable.

• Design‑build hospital and lab ventilation, including Daikin air handlers and VRV/VRF integration
• Isolation rooms (AIIR/PIIR), negative/positive pressure zoning, anterooms, and pressurization control
• Cleanrooms (ISO classifications), HEPA/ULPA filtration, laminar flow devices, and terminal boxes
• Laboratory exhaust, fume hoods, snorkels, and specialty capture systems with dilution and stack design
• Energy recovery (ERV/HRV), heat recovery coils, and demand‑controlled ventilation to meet Title 24
• Controls integration (BACnet/Modbus), pressure monitoring, alarms, and sequence optimization
• Test, adjust, and balance (TAB) with documentation for compliance and performance validation
• Planned maintenance, coil and duct hygiene, filter programs, and emergency service

Compliance and Standards

We engineer and execute projects to align with ASHRAE 170 and 62.1, CDC recommendations, California Title 24, CalGreen, and local authority requirements. For hospital projects, we plan with OSHPD/HCAI expectations in mind, providing the documentation and field practices needed for a smooth review and sign‑off.

Our commissioning packages include airflow verification, room pressure mapping, filtration performance checks, and functional testing of control sequences. You receive clear reports that facility managers and accreditation teams can trust.

Daikin Systems—Expert Service and Integration

We service and integrate Daikin systems—VRV/VRF, air handlers, and applied equipment—within new builds and retrofits. Our engineers optimize fan curves, coil selections, heat recovery, and control sequences to achieve stable pressures and clean, quiet performance across occupied spaces and critical zones.

Our team is factory‑trained at Fujitsu (Japan), Mitsubishi Electric (Thailand), Midea (China), Gree (China), and Haier (China). Drawing from deep multi‑manufacturer training, we implement practical solutions that keep Daikin equipment running at peak performance while ensuring interoperability with your existing controls and third‑party devices.

Design and Construction That Protects Operations

Healthcare and lab work cannot stop. We sequence projects to maintain uptime and protect clinical and research workflows:

• ICRA‑minded work practices, dust control, and containment
• Night and weekend shifts to minimize disruption
• Prefabrication and just‑in‑time delivery to reduce on‑site exposure
• Interim ventilation, filtration, and temporary pressure control where needed
• Clean handoffs with staff training and updated O&M documentation

Performance You Can Measure

Every project targets measurable outcomes: verified room pressures, documented ACH, filtration efficacy, and energy intensity improvements. Our balancing and commissioning teams close the loop with before/after data, so you know your system performs as designed.

Where beneficial, we add sensors and dashboards to visualize IAQ, pressure differentials, and fan power in real time—supporting compliance and proactive maintenance.

Preventive Maintenance and Rapid Response

Critical environments demand disciplined care. Our PM programs cover filter strategy (pre‑filters, HEPA/ULPA), coil cleaning, drain hygiene, damper calibration, sensor verification, and control sequence tuning. We also perform periodic TAB checks to keep pressures stable as loads evolve.

When the unexpected happens, our rapid‑response team restores safe airflow quickly—diagnosing alarms, replacing critical components, and stabilizing pressures to protect patients, staff, and research.
