Practice and thinking based on ASHRAE hospital design standards

Illustrates the important standards and guidelines in designing the HVAC systems of hospitals in America. Taking a hospital in Kuwait as an example, describes the application of American ASHRAE hospital design standards and local codes. Summarizes the technical measures of design under the local climatic conditions, and analyses the differences of design technique between America, Kuwait and China. In addition, refines the key design elements and strategies of HVAC design for infection control in the critical areas of hospital at home and abroad.
