Is your facility

in good health?

Learn why a growing number of hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities are

turning to Distech Controls’ proven building automation and energy management

solutions to help them achieve greater results.

• Implement comprehensive building controls,

energy management, monitoring, and opti-

mization solutions with one unified and integrated

building management platform including HVAC,

indoor and outdoor lighting, energy manage-

ment, utilities metering, access control, CCTV,

and other custom applications.

• Satisfy functional, comfort, and regulatory

requirements across all room types, including

patient rooms, laboratories, waiting rooms, phy-

sicians’ offices, operating rooms, and cafeterias.

• Optimize indoor environmental quality (IEQ),

including CO2 and fresh air levels, ventilation,

temperature, and humidity regardless of

building, room, or space type.

• Improve environmental and lighting conditions

with innovative products that integrate the

latest technologies and standards.

• Benefit from a fully integrated access control

and video security system with an intuitive

Web interface that can be configured and man -

aged by IT, security, or human resources staff.

• Monitor and control elevator/floor access,

specific preset locations, such as nurseries

and pharmacies, as well as video surveillance,

via a single interface.

Optimize Control & Comfort in Your Facilities

Let Distech Controls show you how our expertise, technology, and innovative solutions

can make your healthcare facilities more comfortable, efficient, secure, and sustainable.

In today’s highly competitive and regulated landscape, maintaining healthy indoor air

quality is a necessity for hospital and healthcare facility managers. A facility that offers

superior environmental quality provides a better experience for patients, their families, and

staff by optimizing comfort, while reducing stress and enhancing the healing environment.

• Adopt a truly open platform, creating a sus-

tainable foundation that supports and evolves

with your building system’s lifecycle.

• Improve bottom-line performance of your

healthcare facility with a building management

system that offers lower installation and

operating costs.

• Ensure the longstanding performance and

value of your system with a partner that is

committed to industry and IT standards, and

that offers interchangeable components,

continuous availability of compatible hardware,

backwards compatibility, and best-of-breed

solutions.

• Implement a platform that employs Internet

and Web-services standards, allowing you to

leverage your existing IT infrastructure in order

to securely and efficiently exchange data, and

collaborate at all levels of your institution.

• Benefit from a flexible and scalable system

that can be adapted to address your changing

requirements and implemented in both newer

and older buildings.

Reduce Energy Costs & Deliver Quality Patient Care

• Implement a system that delivers precise

environmental control, while integrating energy

efficient control sequences.

• Provide optimal lighting conditions by employing

a combination of lighting control methods,

including event-based scheduling, occupancy

detection, timed switching, daylight sensing,

and task tuning.

• Continuously optimize energy use by setting

usage conditions based on schedules, weather

conditions, occupancy, or daylight sensing.

• Ensure central plant systems operate at peak

efficiency by managing system capacity based

on building load demands and operational

guidelines.

• Use demand-controlled ventilation and occu-

pancy-based control in patient rooms, medical

offices, or exam rooms, to cut energy consump-

tion when these spaces are unoccupied.

• Achieve over 30% energy and operational cost

savings, while reducing your carbon footprint.

A typical hospital consumes far more energy than the average commercial building.

As such, more often than not, administrators are forced to direct a disproportionate

amount of their budgets towards energy expenses, to the detriment of much-needed

facility upgrades, hiring of new medical personnel, or investment in the latest medical

equipment.

Bound by inefficient and inflexible systems and technology, many hospital and healthcare

facility administrators are finding it increasingly difficult to take control of the substantial

lifecycle costs associated with operating their buildings. Additionally, many existing

systems are difficult or impossible to upgrade, further contributing to higher mainte-

nance and repair costs over the life of their buildings.

Reduce Lifecycle Costs & Ensure the Best Return on Investment

For hospital administrators, understanding where their energy dollars are going and

being able to identify areas of improvement are also priorities. Additionally, growing

awareness and demand means that decision makers face increased pressure to cut

their facility’s carbon footprint.

For hospital and healthcare facility administrators, gaining control of their energy spend

is essential, but they also need to ensure that their building automation system runs

optimally 24/7/365; reducing maintenance, operational, and equipment costs, all while

maintaining patient comfort and physician, nurse, and administrative staff productivity.

Ensure Your System is Always Performing Efficiently

Optimize Sustainability & Share Your Initiatives

• Manage all your buildings via one seamless,

centralized interface with global and building

functional capabilities such as alarms,

schedules, etc.

• Free your staff from time-consuming tasks with

a system designed for ease of use.

• Define settings for both preventive and scheduled

maintenance, including monitoring of equipment

quality and filter changes, to reduce operational

costs and increase efficiencies.

• Identify poorly performing equipment and

reduce operational costs with auto diagnostics

capabilities such as our VAV Performance

Assessment Control Charts (VPACC) feature.

• Benefit from quality products, fully tested

before leaving the factory, ensuring long-term

performance and unequalled reliability.

• Achieve improved visualization of vital building

metrics for the entire facility and/or for each

department through an easy-to-use, brow s -

er-based energy management dashboard

application.

• Gain improved visibility and control of your

energy performance with powerful, real-time

reporting and analytics easily tailored for your

specific operational and functional needs.

• Easily identify energy and operational perfor-

mance outliers to take proper actions and

optimize resource efficiencies, with actionable

analytics.

• Establish and track Key Performance Indicators

(KPIs) for your operations.

• Demonstrate your commitment to reducing

energy and operational costs and engage

patients, staff, and visitors in being better

custodians of our environment by displaying

your facility’s dashboard in kiosk mode.

• Distinguish your institution as an environmental

leader by lowering your carbon footprint.
