6、s approved thisstandard as an ANS, as “substantial agreement reached by directly and materially affected interest categories. This signifies the concurrenceof more than a simple majority, but not necessarily unanimity. Consensus requires that all views and objections be considered, and that aneffort

25、 Facilities, is one of a family of documents thatoffers guidance, regulation, and mandates to designers ofhealth care facilities. It is first and foremost a mandatoryminimum requirement and, as such, may not always offer thestate-of-the-art best practice for health care ventilationdesign. Other publ

26、ications, such as the ASHRAE HVACDesign Manual for Hospitals and Clinics, 2nd Edition, com-plement the standard, providing additional depth and detailfor the designer. In addition, the health care designer mustrefer to any design requirements from the appropriate juris-diction that has authority. Ma

27、ny jurisdictions use or refer toGuidelines for Design and Construction of Health Care Facil-ities, published by the Facility Guidelines Institute (FGI).Where practical, the committee was cognizant of these otherdocuments in the development of this standard.Ventilation design for health care spaces i

28、s a combina-tion of tasks that leads to a set of documents used in construc-tion. One such task requires medical planners to developdepartmental programs of spaces. These programs includespace names that suggest the use for which the space isintended, and health care ventilation designers depend upo

29、nthese names to determine the ventilation parameters for theirdesigns. This standard provides these ventilation parameters.Ventilation systems and designs for health care facilitiesare intended to provide a comfortable environment forpatients, health care workers, and visitors while diluting, cap-tu

30、ring and exhausting airborne contaminants including poten-tially infectious airborne agents such as M. tuberculosis.Without high-quality ventilation in health care facilities,patients, health care workers, and visitors can becomeexposed to contaminants through normal respiration of parti-cles in the

31、 air. Poorly ventilated health care facilities mayincrease the concentration of airborne contaminants includingfungi or mold, which may cause allergic responses in evenhealthy workers and occupants. Some patients are profoundlyimmunosuppressed for prolonged periods and, if exposed, arehighly suscept

32、ible to infection from fungi. For such patients,fungal spores become invasive pathogens and lead to highrates of severe morbidity and mortality. For all these reasons,and considering the various occupancies and patient popula-tions, great care must be taken in the design of health careventilation sy

33、stems.1. PURPOSEThepurposeofthisstandardistodefineventilationsystemdesign requirements that provide environmental control forcomfort, asepsis, and odor in health care facilities.2. SCOPE2.1 The requirements in this standard apply to patient-careareas and related support areas within health care faci

34、lities,including hospitals, nursing facilities, and outpatient facilities.2.2 This standard applies to new buildings, additions to exist-ing buildings, and those alterations to existing buildings thatare identified within this standard.2.3 This standard considers chemical, physical, and biologi-cal

DEFINITIONSabsorption distance: the distance downstream of a humidifierrequired for all moisture to be absorbed into the airstream.addi

36、tion: an extension or increase in floor area or height of abuilding, building system, or equipment.airborne infection isolation (AII): the isolation of patientsinfected with organisms spread by airborne droplet nuclei lessthan 5 m in diameter (see FGI 2010 in Informative Appen-dix B). For the purpos

37、es of this standard, the abbreviation“AII” refers to the room that provides isolation.airborne infection isolation room: a room that is designedaccording to the requirements of this standard and that isintended to provide airborne infection isolation.alteration: a significant change in the function

38、or size of aspace, in the use of its systems, or in the use of its equipment,either through rearrangement, replacement, or addition. Rou-tine maintenance and service shall not constitute an alteration.authority having jurisdiction: the agent or agency responsi-ble for enforcing this standard.average

39、 velocity: the volumetric flow rate obtained by divid-ing the air quantity issuing from an air distribution device bythe nominal face area of the device.building: a structure that is wholly or partially enclosedwithin exterior walls and a roof, or within exterior and partywalls and a roof, and that

40、affords shelter to persons, animals,or property. In this standard, a building is a structure intendedfor use as a hospital or health care facility.classification of surgeries:procedure room (Class A surgery): provides minor sur-gical procedures performed under topical, local, orregional anesthesia w

41、ithout preoperative sedation.Excluded are intravenous, spinal, and epidural proce-dures, which are Class B or C surgeries.operating room (Class B surgery): provides minor ormajor surgical procedures performed in conjunction withoral, parenteral, or intravenous sedation or performedwith the patient u

42、nder analgesic or dissociative drugs.operating room (Class C surgery): provides major surgi-cal procedures that require general or regional blockanesthesia and/or support of vital bodily functions.(For more information on this method of classifying sur-geries, see ACS (2000) in InformativeAppendix B

These patients include but are not limited toallogeneic stem-cell transplant patients and i

46、ntensive chemo-therapy patients.infection control risk assessment (ICRA): a determination ofthe potential risk of transmission of various infectious agentsin the facility, a classification of those risks, and a list ofrequired practices for mitigating those risks during construc-tion or renovation.i
