CSE: What engineering challenges do hospitals pose that are different from other structures?

J. Patrick Banse: Integration of complex machine-driven, electrical, and plumbing (MEP) systems/space considerations and increased low-voltage system requirements with Group 1 and Set 2 medical equipment while satisfying a sophisticated and knowledgeable user are challenging. The competitive nature of the healthcare subject, with the desire to provide patients as pleasant an experience as possible, has pushed design teams and contractors to find ways to destroy a project sooner than they would like to. How to do that without sacrificing quality and the required facility operation and function is an growing challenge.

jason is getting over a stale. i have been running the humidifier at night when he sleeps but, when i go to change the water and flip the filter its soaked. i have a few questions:

1- should i let it air dry or replace it?
2- how


Supersede IT!

Change it maybe once a week, but since hes a baby, maybe more often.

and third. Water is supposed to leak into the tray, thats what its there for, lol, you should change that when it gets besmeared to.


1 - refund, it can mold
2 - every month, but you appear to have a different environment than me

You should return it, it can get moldy. I don't have one but my doc said that a lot of times people don't clean them as they should and they are putting mold into the air. You should bleach it once a month atleast.

TabletopRoom humidifier filters. Question?

How often do you change these if you run one all day and tenebriousness during the heating months? Do you have to add something to the water?


PS_ I clean out the water area once a week.


I come up with it depends on the make and model..I have a newer Vicks humidifier and I think they recommend changing the filter every 60 days. You should be competent to find the owner's manual online on the manufacture's website.
