HVAC in hospitals
Over the last few years, the NHS has prioritised sustainable development and energy efficiency across its sites. With this in mind, developers are increasingly looking for alternative ways to conserve power and heat.
In larger buildings with extensive and sprawling conduits – such as the Royal Liverpool University Hospital – external duct insulation plays a key role in boosting energy efficiency.
