Hi, Jack. Most medical equipment has different demands. Medical devices in radiology mostly need uninterrupted power supply three phase supply. Whereas, in the laboratory, most devices need uninterrupted power supply single phase supply. Life support machines, such as ventilator, need uninterrupted power supply single phase supply with leakage current protection. Thus, UPS should be used with an isolation transformer to avoid the cut of power in case of leakage. Moreover, the hospital power distribution should be separated into branches with supply priority. These branches are critical, life support, general and optional. May be one of the design spot will be about this topic.
Mainly, the Coronavirus pandemic has shown the need for more negative pressure rooms (general, intermediate and intensive care) to compensate the shortage. Consequently, the heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) standards and guidelines should be updated. Another problem is the selection of correct of disinfection because spraying medical devices having low ingress protection with aerosols could lead to partial damage or even complete one.
Hi Engr. Mohamad good day! I appreciate your work at RAH. I am please to introduce myself, Mr. Sam Flores of the Philippines. I'm planning to do a Feasibility Proposal and replicate the same intelligent hospital here in the Philppines. I hope we can start a pleasant business aquaintancce. Thank you.
I'm first year architect student. I would like to know more about the healthcare facilities planning and design. Thanks for sharing🌸
Hi, Mohamad. I'm an electrical engineer. How difference hospital from other buildings and facilities (residential, industrial...). Thanks for reply.

Thanks for the content. Has Coronavirus any impact in the design process of hospitals?
