All air conditioning and ventilation systems in medical offices are different from those used in homes or offices, since their priority is to safeguard the well-being and comfort of patients who go to consultations for prevention or direct action of treatment of diseases, pathologies or other medical needs.

The air conditioning and ventilation systems in offices of medical areas must present certain characteristics of purity and cleanliness of environments and filtration, since the spread of infectious agents in the office or environments close to these enclosures must be avoided, for this reason the systems of circulation, return and breathing must be separated and must never join the office environment or waiting rooms.

Each external respiration mouthpiece must present an ideal pressure, purity, filtration and disinfection system to avoid the reproduction of pathogenic agents that are contagious, likewise the returns must have means of expulsion to the environment, which must comply with certain release characteristics. away from sensitive areas and the building, taking into account that they are not close to other offices or clinics, verifying the exit and movement of the wind.

The management of temperatures and humidity must be taken into account, since it is generally very common to observe Split-type systems in offices that allow the reproduction of infectious agents, when installing the Split system it is believed that by maintaining the The lowest possible temperature in the environment prevents the reproduction of pathogens that can affect patients through the viral route.

That is why it is recommended at the time of the design or restructuring of an office, that a specialist in air conditioning and ventilation systems in clinical or hospital systems be initially consulted, the project of the ventilation, return and breathing systems of the air conditioning system, Likewise, the separation of areas and maintenance with bactericidal systems to prevent the spread of agents.

Infection control is paramount in office areas, maintaining ventilation mobility that prevents its spread, preventing the installation of Split systems that do not have the capacity to handle cleaning in contaminated areas, or using them with mobility controls, breathing, filtration and air outlets, in addition to temperature controls between 20 and 24 degrees Celsius and relative humidity controls between 30 and 60% approximately.

Remember that the purity control in the air conditioning system, its ventilation and internal mobility, will allow avoiding contamination in the office and in primary care for a patient who is undergoing treatment. This way you will maintain an optimal environment, of purity and comfort that allows you to comply with the legal health regulations in our country.
