Honeywell Brings Facility Expertise to New University of Kentuck...(ditioning (HVAC) fire alarm and access c...),Health

Date:10/1/2009

ditioning (HVAC), fire alarm, and access control and digital video equipment. Honeywell will tie these systems together via a facility management platform that provides a cohesive, detailed view of all building technology from a central workstation. The system will control comfort, air quality and energy use to help administrators meet the complex regulatory requirements designed to keep patients and staff healthy, safe and secure. For example, the technology will help:

• Validate critical temperatures in laboratory environments.
• Monitor air quality levels to ensure safe surgical operating environments.
• Provide the tracking and reporting necessary to verify compliance.
  

Along with HVAC, life-safety and security equipment, Honeywell will install the Hill-Rom NaviCare® Nurse Call system to help connect patients and caregivers. The system will provide a geographic view of where nurses are located across the facility using radio-frequency identification (RFID) tags and a wireless mesh network, allowing faster communication when patients request assistance. Intelligent alerts also can automatically be sent from a patient's bed directly to the caregiver, improving response times during medical emergencies.

The hospital, which is being built by Turner Construction, is expected to open in phases beginning with its emergency department in summer 2010. Once construction is complete, Honeywell will provide ongoing fire alarm inspection and testing services.
