WINDOWMASTER Helps Dublin A & E Unit Stay Cool
WindowMaster (www.windowmaster.com) has installed an automated
natural ventilation system in the accident and emergency department
of the Mater Hospital in Dublin. This is the first time that an
automated system of this kind has been used in a hospital A & E
environment in Ireland.
The installation forms part of a refurbishment of the existing
accident and emergency department at the Mater Campus Hospital which
is currently undergoing a €240 million re-development. The
modernisation of the existing hospital services and equipment was
funded by Ireland’s Health Services Executive.
WindowMaster supplied its NV Advance automated natural ventilation
system, which included the installation of 32 motors controlling 11
zones using combined carbon dioxide and temperature sensors.
The complete campus development will comprise new facilities for
accident and emergency, an outpatients department, operating
theatres, radiology, 180 beds for in-patients, and catering and
other essential support services.
The Mater Hospital project created the need for a complex ‘enabling
and decanting’ programme including relocating the energy centre
feeding the entire campus, moving all services to decentralised
locations, demolishing the former nurses home and re-housing the
occupants.
Peter Connolly, WindowMaster’s UK and IE business development
manager, said: “Natural ventilation was chosen to regulate the
indoor climate of the A & E department because specific attention
was paid to ensuring that there is an excellent quality of physical
environment provided for patients, staff and visitors.
“WindowMaster was chosen to provide the system because MCO, the
company responsible for the design of architecture and building
services on the A & E department, had seen the system operate
successfully in other large projects in Ireland.”
WindowMaster, Europe’s largest provider of natural ventilation and
smoke detection solutions, was chosen to provide the window
automation system for the Mater hospital because of its ability to
provide a complete installation, in particular the central computer
control system. In addition, the installation includes motors,
window actuators, various sensors and a weather station.
The weather station monitors external conditions around the
building, including wind direction and speed, temperature and rain
fall. Changes in wind pressure on the facades are also modelled.
These parameters are programmed into the computer control system
where they are analysed along with readings taken from the weather
station and sensors fitted internally. Windows around the building
are then precisely controlled and positioned to keep air quality
within rooms fresh and the temperature constant.
