Join Journal Editor Drew
Champlin and Kelley Cramm,
P.E., Life Member ASHRAE,
as they discuss how HVAC
factors into code requirements
for elevators, the shift to machine
room-less elevators and architectural
coordination.
Surgical patients release waste anesthetic
gases that can cause potential health
effects for people who care for patients
in the post-anesthesia care unit. Kishor
Khankari, Ph.D., Fellow ASHRAE,
discusses optimizing its ventilation
design to effectively remove these
gases and reduce exposure.
