St. Thomas West Hospital, Nashville, Tenn., recently upgraded its outdated ventilation with an exterior system, according to an article on the Health Facilities Management website.
Limited indoor space and the disruption to the facility made using traditional duct materials and design difficult.
Instead, a return air distribution system constructed of acoustical panels was installed on the hospital’s exterior.
The result is three HVAC exhaust air distribution risers that ascend on three sides of the hospital’s seven-story K Tower’s exterior to new rooftop energy-recovery ventilators (ERVs), the article said.
