Course Description

This training covers general and specific requirements of HVAC design of all hospital rooms including airborne infectious isolation rooms, protective isolation rooms, operating rooms, emergency departments, Intensive Care units, pharmacies, psychiatric and sterile processing departments, and infection control risk assessment are all covered, making this course essential training for anyone designing healthcare facilities.

This course addresses the role of HVAC systems in reducing Hospital Associated Infections (HAI), explaining airborne vs contact transmission. Through filtration, air patterns, air changes, dilution, temperature, humidity, UV, and pressurization the hospital HVAC can either help or hinder efforts to reduce HAI.

Latest available technology in the design, calculation, and practical applications of HVAC and controls are introduced. The training also defines the ventilation system design requirements as per Standard ANSI/ ASHRAE/ ASHE 170-2021 including the compliance requirements. Systems and equipment include outdoor ventilation, air distribution systems and energy recovery and all ancillary components of ducting, insulation will be described.

Start Preparing for your Certified Healthcare Facility Design Professional (HFDP) Certification Exam!  

While the Healthcare course does not “teach to the exam,” it does help improve your understanding of the body of knowledge which the HFDP exam tests. It is important to be aware that attending the courses is not required to sit for the HFDP exam, nor does attendance guarantee a passing score.

The Healthcare Training provides you with guidance on a number of the job tasks tested on the HFDP certification exam. See a complete list of HFDP exam task content that aligns with course content.

A 20% discount code will be provided by email after attending the Healthcare training. The discount code will be valid for 90 days after the completion of the training.

Discount Code is applicable to both standard and developing economy application fees.
