title: Keeping one's cool when things hot up.
abstract: Hospitals and healthcare facilities use a variety of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) equipment for a wide range of applications. Here, in our latest technical guidance article, presented in a 'Question and Answer'-type format, Adam Spolnik, director, and Richard Metcalfe, sales director, of temperature control specialist, ICS Cool Energy, focus on some of the key priorities, maintenance-wise, to get the optimum performance from chillers and HVAC components, and identify the units that perform best for particular healthcare applications. They also consider how careful stewardship and proper maintenance of such equipment can help cut carbon footprint, and highlight some of the key regulations that estates teams operating such plant need to ensure they are familiar with.
