美国.S. Department of Veterans Affairs’ Electronic Health Record Modernization (EHRM) is being conducted through individual, campus-specific电子游戏哪个爆分多, 所有这些都将在2028年完成. 这篇论文 provides a high-level look at key design considerations and strategies applicable to most EHRM initiatives, which in addition to software and hardware often involve significant building infrastructure upgrades or redesigns.

Successful cold-climate HVAC design depends on having the experience to know what items might cause problems or failures. 这篇论文 by IMEG’s Jeff Boldt and William Maki examines considerations for coils, 管道, 和冷却装置, 雪的问题, 和驾驶舒适性. 转载得到ASHRAE的许可, the paper is a follow-up to Designing HVAC for Humid vs. 干旱的气候.

这篇论文 by IMEG’s Jeff Boldt and David Wright introduces how room functionality improves with improved architectural acoustics, 尤其是在用于合作的房间里, 指令, 以及需要清晰言语的集会. 转载得到ASHRAE的许可, the paper is a follow-up to a previously posted “Engineer’s Notebook” explaining basic acoustic terms.

当前的建筑趋势倾向于开放房间, 坚硬的表面, 扩大采光, and exposed HVAC ducts have made acoustics design more important than ever, but much of the regularly changing terminology surrounding acoustics can be confusing. 这篇论文, written by IMEG’s Jeff Boldt and David Wright and reprinted with permission from ASHRAE, offers a simple vocabulary of basic acoustic terms that are almost always considered in any type of project.

这篇论文 outlines innovative early warning strategies that combine a K-12 building’s new or existing security and lighting systems to function as a notification resource during an active assailant event or environmental emergency. The goal is to show how one cohesive platform can detect and identify various threats and communicate their locations, 可能的安全区域, 出口信息, 以及其他有用的指示.

The AEC industry will likely see new regulatory requirements that will greatly impact the planning and design of healthcare facilities to ensure they are prepared for future pandemics. 这篇论文 provides a starting point for this preparation by reviewing the lessons learned from COVID-19 and discussing design strategies that will provide the most flexibility for healthcare systems.

Designers must consider outside conditions during all seasons and their impact on the operation of the building and HVAC systems. 这篇论文, 由IMEG的Jeff Boldt共同编写, examines key design strategies for projects whether they are in climates that are humid or arid, 热的或冷的. 转载得到ASHRAE的许可, this paper was originally published as the “Engineer’s Notebook” in the June 2021 issue of the ASHRAE Journal.

Owners of existing or planned medical office buildings may want to add features that can better prepare these non-acute care buildings for future patient surge events. 这篇论文 provides a high-level overview of key design considerations that will enable these buildings to be converted quickly and efficiently into an alternate care facility.

这篇论文 provides an overview of current industry-standard HVAC design components and their effect on mitigating the transmission of airborne viruses. Component energy use and maintenance considerations also are discussed.

At some point every healthcare facility will face the need to modernize its Central Sterilization 服务 department. 这篇论文 provides the framework for conducting a thorough analysis of facility needs and characteristics when CSS modernization is being considered.

This whitepaper examines the growing use of on-site renewable energy production and energy 存储 and the impact these combined strategies can have on a building’s energy use profile. 合著者亚当·麦克米伦, IMEG可持续发展主任, 和肖恩•史密斯, 特灵科技的总工程师, 展示如何正确的生产时机, 存储, and use of on-site energy can enable facilities to eliminate their use of the electric grid during peak demand hours, 节省能源成本, 减少碳足迹.
