Hospitals are demanding work environments. Patient welfare demands that nurses, doctors, support staff, consultants and researchers work long hours – often against the clock – to deliver expertise and care to patients suffering across a broad spectrum of conditions.  The UK’s citizens are grateful for the NHS and more aware of its importance since the coronavirus struck. 

Few of us give much thought to the energy needs of hospitals. The property portfolio of the NHS is vast and is a huge consumer of energy and capital expenditure on equipment, just to keep the hospitals open.  Critical care and recovery areas, operating theatres, x-ray and scanning areas, maternity wards, general wards, administration areas – they all need high quality air to avoid the risk of secondary infections setting in.

How we can improve hospital air quality

Envirotec supplies hospitals with a wide range of equipment, and among these are air handling units that are used to improve indoor air ventilation. Envirotec also offers its own brand of ‘palliative care’ for service and maintenance of hospital ventilation systems, alongside filter changes and component upgrades.  

We manufacture equipment needed to supply high quality air in hospitals, of the kind that can last and does last a lifetime of hard work.

Think of air handling units as worn out minds and bodies being revived to help breathe clean air and new life into buildings, and provide a short payback period for the investment. 

If the skeletal structure is good it is possible to revive old or dead equipment to bring it up to modern standards.  Envirotec’s surgical offering includes replacing the internal organs (control systems, fans, motors and coils) and skin (casework) of air handling equipment.
