The Science of ComfortTM
Patient care is constantly evolving, and these changes impact how we design spaces within psychiatric care facilities – including the components for air distribution systems. Patient health and safety is at the forefront of design considerations, but a challenge faced by many HVAC designers is a lack of guidance as to what types of air inlets and outlets should be installed in these unique spaces.

To help simplify the design process for engineers and architects, Price has invested in supporting the way these designers already work. Many engineers and architects are now designing using Autodesk Revit software.

When it comes to selecting air inlets and outlets, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) rooms need special consideration due to the unique equipment found in the room. MRI rooms, often referred to as magnet rooms, contain MRI machines that use powerful magnets to produce pictures of anatomy and physiological processes of the body. These magnets create a magnetic field, which makes the material choice of air inlets and outlets a key factor in the design of the air distribution system.

Designing a ventilation system for a swimming pool can be tricky. For occupant comfort, these facilities require 40 to 60% relative humidity to be maintained year round. For swimmers, a humidity range of 50 to 60% is most comfortable. However, humidity levels below 50% can significantly increase energy consumption, while humidity levels above 60% can cause damage due to mold, mildew and condensation.
