Ocram Clima continues to lead the way in improving air quality in hospital environments, standing out for its commitment to innovation, quality and safety, as evidenced by the award of the new hygienic certificate, which you can see <a href=\"https:\/\/ocram-clima.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/KKL-1023-21_VIERA-LOPES_Certificate_2024-05-03.pdf\">here<\/a>. The renewal of the hygienic certificate, formerly attributed by the ILH BERLIN organisation, sets the pace for continued dedication and commitment to finding new and better solutions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>In this context, Ocram Clima has established itself as a company dedicated to ensuring that air quality in hospital environments is optimised to promote the health and comfort of patients and healthcare professionals. In this article, we&#8217;ll explore the contours of hospital buildings, the importance of air quality and the differences between Air Handling Units (AHUs) and Hygienic Air Handling Units (HAHUs), highlighting how Ocram Clima plays a crucial role in this scenario.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Hospital Area and the Contours of Hospital Construction<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Hospital architecture goes far beyond aesthetics and functionality; it plays a vital role in the effectiveness of healthcare, directly influencing the well-being of patients and the operational efficiency of professionals. The contours of hospital buildings must be carefully planned to ensure not only accessibility and safety, but also to promote air circulation and the maintenance of a healthy environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ocram Clima understands the importance of these contours and dedicates its work and research to finding solutions that meet the specific needs of each hospital space. Whether in operating theatres, intensive care units or waiting areas, good air quality must be guaranteed, minimising the risk of cross-contamination and providing optimal conditions for patient recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Importance of Air Quality in Hospitals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Air quality in hospital environments is a concern because of the potential impact on the health of patients, visitors and healthcare professionals. Whether in an operating theatre, sterile area or recovery room, the presence of pathogens, allergens, harmful particles and air pollutants can aggravate existing medical conditions and even trigger new health problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Advanced air purification, filtration and humidity control technologies are required to maintain air quality standards in line with standards. In addition, our company offers customised monitoring and maintenance solutions to ensure that systems are always operational at maximum efficiency, thus minimising the risks of contamination and providing a safe and healthy environment for all occupants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Differences between Air Handling Units and Hygienic Air Handling Units<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>What are the differences between air handling units (AHU) and hygienic air handling units (HAHU)? Although they share the goal of providing clean, controlled air, there are significant differences in their construction and the functions they perform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Conventional AHUs are designed primarily for thermal comfort and air circulation in commercial, industrial and private environments, among others&#8230; On the other hand, AHUs are specifically designed for sensitive environments such as hospitals and laboratories, where air quality is of the utmost importance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Ocram Clima&#8217;s UTAH differs in its air registers, filter sections, finishes and surfaces, among other characteristics that make it suitable for sterile environments. These machines are Eurovent-certified and comply with the KKL\/1023\/21 hygienic regulations (T\u00dcV NORD Systems certification).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>New Hygienic Certificate (T\u00dcV NORD Systems)<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:38px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The previous ILH BERLIN certificate has now been upgraded to T\u00dcV NORD Systems.
