- Title
Temperature & Humidity Control In Surgery Rooms.
- Authors
Murphy, John
- Abstract
The article discusses how the humidity and temperature requirements of surgery rooms affect the design of the HVAC system in hospitals in the United States. The author also presents several system alternatives that address the issues of cooling and dehumidification and enable hospital administrators to satisfy the two requirements. Local codes or industry-accepted guidelines often prescribe temperature and humidity ranges and minimum air-change rates to control humidity and temperature levels in surgery rooms.
