Taking a Closer Look at Air Distribution in Critical Environments
Creating high-performing, well-ventilated spaces is essential in critical environments such as hospital operating rooms, patient rooms and other medical spaces. Indoor air quality directly affects occupants’ well-being and productivity and, in the case of pharmaceutical compounding, for instance, can have a profound impact on processes that occur in the space.

The Engineer’s Guide to MRI-Compatible Products
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.
