HVAC SYSTEMS


For instance, patients can even see their daily medical schedule when the building automation system is linked with third-party software via the open RESTful API. Doctors and clinical staff are empowered to easily make any hospital space comfortable with access to simple touchscreen controls, while IOT sensors help them quickly track key hospital equipment. Distech Controls has a RESTful API embedded into a range of its solutions, including the ECLYPSE series.


Human-centric and energy-efficient When we enter a healthcare environment, we want to know that the air we breathe is as safe as possible. Building owners and Facilities managers have a duty to provide occupants with a comfortable environment, but they are also required to ensure that their buildings meet sustainability target and energy efficiencies. With new sensor solutions we can provide human-centric buildings without compromising on energy efficiency.


Maintaining indoor air quality is a necessity for hospital


and healthcare facilities, but integrated systems and connected technology can also help provide healthy patient rooms, conducive to healing, as well as a better experience for patients’ families, and staff, by optimising comfort and improving workflow, while reducing stress and enhancing the healing environment.
