Peer Review

Attention all NEHES members! Do you have a healthcare engineering project that should be shared with our community? Maybe you know of a New England healthcare facility that recently modernized a large asset like a boiler or an air handler? Perhaps there’s a New England healthcare facility that is pursuing a large-scale fit out, retrofit or new build on their campus?

If you have a project that you believe makes a New England hospital unique and worth sharing, NEHES wants to give it a shout out! The NEHES monthly newsletter would like to share one “Peer Project” every month to allow a hospital the opportunity to share their success and what challenges they faced along the way. Do you have a project that’s ready for the spotlight? If so, act now! Reach out to the newsletter co-chairs today to get the ball rolling!

When was the Last Time you Checked HVAC Coils for Mold & Bacteria
Conservation Solutions Corp®
Mechanical cleaning of coils every 6 months is not effective so Healthcare facilities need solutions to control bacteria, mold and viruses including Covid-19 in HVAC systems 24/7. Steril-Aire UVC Systems are a CDC approved technology to improve Indoor Air Quality (IAQ), reduce Hospital Acquired Infections (HAIs) and associated liability costs. Steril-Aire UVC Systems are backed by a 2 ½ year peer reviewed ASHRAE study of 6 NE hospitals. Not All UVC Systems are the same.

Sustainability
Health Facilities Management
While individual sustainability projects can achieve positive results, it helps to have a master plan as well.

Attention all NEHES members! Do you know of a New England healthcare facility that’s doing something a little different? Maybe you were recently introduced to a hospital’s sustainability practices and think other hospitals could learn from it? Or maybe there’s a New England healthcare facility that’s organizing its roofing program a little differently and it could help other facilities to read about and mimic in their own way?

If you know of a program, practice or operational habit that you believe makes a New England hospital unique and worth sharing, NEHES wants to give it a shout out! The NEHES monthly newsletter would like to share one “Golden Practice” every month to allow a hospital the opportunity to share how they built the practice, how they implemented it, and what challenges they faced along the way. Do you have a golden practice that’s ready for the spotlight? If so, act now! Reach out to the newsletter co-chairs today to get the ball rolling!
