Facilities that house the healthcare environment are very complex buildings for very specialized medical services. HVAC, lighting, fire alarms, emergency power, IT, security, medical gas, infection control and nurse calls are just some of the many systems that serve very specific needs and must constantly be within compliance according to the numerous healthcare industry’s regulatory organizations. Absolutely everything must be performing at the highest level as this could mean the difference between life and death.
The pressure is on for healthcare systems to ensure their buildings are performing efficiently thus, increasing the demand for commissioning services. Commissioning within healthcare facilities is a quality assurance process that ensures the structure, and its services, meet the operational needs of the owner and its user group.
JPT partners exclusively with healthcare clients to commission new buildings and retro-commission existing buildings, assuring that they are effectively designed to prioritize performance, reliability and energy savings.
