HVAC Systems for Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities in Saudi Arabia
Hospitals have the most demanding HVAC requirements of any building type. Getting it wrong doesn’t just represent an engineering failure — it can directly compromise patient safety. DAD Contracting specialises in healthcare HVAC across Saudi Arabia, with deep experience in the Asir region.
Why Healthcare HVAC Is Different
Hospital HVAC must meet strict standards including ASHRAE Standard 170, Saudi Building Code (SBC), Saudi Health Council regulations, and NFPA 99.
Key Requirements for Hospital HVAC
Air Changes Per Hour (ACH)
- Operating theatres: 20–25 ACH with HEPA filtration
- ICU/Critical care: 12–15 ACH
- Patient rooms: 6 ACH minimum
- Isolation rooms: 12 ACH negative pressure
Pressure Relationships
- Operating theatres: Positive pressure (prevents contamination entering)
- Isolation rooms: Negative pressure (prevents infection spreading)
Filtration Standards
- Minimum MERV-13 for all general clinical areas
- HEPA (H14) for operating theatres and bone marrow units
- Pre-filters (MERV-7+) to extend HEPA filter life
Redundancy
Critical systems must have N+1 redundancy, backup chillers, emergency power integration, and automatic changeover controls.
