Meet the New Standard in Building Management Solutions for Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities
Distech Controls offers a completely integrated
building management system that is core to
your institution’s strict environmental, regulatory,
and comfort requirements, as well as your energy
management and sustainability strategies.
Our Web-based platform provides a unified,
facility-wide solution, integrating HVAC, Lighting,
Access Control, CCTV, and Energy Management
solutions.
Distech Controls’ building management system
allows you to lower your energy and operational
budgets and reduce the lifecycle cost of your
facilities; all while maintaining precise environ-
mental control and creating a comfortable and
healthy environment for your patients, physicians,
nurses, and administrative staff.
Is your facility
in good health?
Learn why a growing number of hospitals, clinics, and other healthcare facilities are
turning to Distech Controls’ proven building automation and energy management
solutions to help them achieve greater results.
• Implement comprehensive building controls,
energy management, monitoring, and opti-
mization solutions with one unified and integrated
building management platform including HVAC,
indoor and outdoor lighting, energy manage-
ment, utilities metering, access control, CCTV,
and other custom applications.
• Satisfy functional, comfort, and regulatory
requirements across all room types, including
patient rooms, laboratories, waiting rooms, phy-
sicians’ offices, operating rooms, and cafeterias.
• Optimize indoor environmental quality (IEQ),
including CO2 and fresh air levels, ventilation,
temperature, and humidity regardless of
building, room, or space type.
• Improve environmental and lighting conditions
with innovative products that integrate the
latest technologies and standards.
• Benefit from a fully integrated access control
and video security system with an intuitive
Web interface that can be configured and man -
aged by IT, security, or human resources staff.
• Monitor and control elevator/floor access,
specific preset locations, such as nurseries
and pharmacies, as well as video surveillance,
via a single interface.
Optimize Control & Comfort in Your Facilities
Let Distech Controls show you how our expertise, technology, and innovative solutions
can make your healthcare facilities more comfortable, efficient, secure, and sustainable.
In today’s highly competitive and regulated landscape, maintaining healthy indoor air
quality is a necessity for hospital and healthcare facility managers. A facility that offers
superior environmental quality provides a better experience for patients, their families, and
staff by optimizing comfort, while reducing stress and enhancing the healing environment.
• Adopt a truly open platform, creating a sus-
tainable foundation that supports and evolves
with your building system’s lifecycle.
• Improve bottom-line performance of your
healthcare facility with a building management
system that offers lower installation and
operating costs.
• Ensure the longstanding performance and
value of your system with a partner that is
committed to industry and IT standards, and
that offers interchangeable components,
continuous availability of compatible hardware,
backwards compatibility, and best-of-breed
solutions.
• Implement a platform that employs Internet
and Web-services standards, allowing you to
leverage your existing IT infrastructure in order
to securely and efficiently exchange data, and
collaborate at all levels of your institution.
• Benefit from a flexible and scalable system
that can be adapted to address your changing
requirements and implemented in both newer
and older buildings.
Reduce Energy Costs & Deliver Quality Patient Care
• Implement a system that delivers precise
environmental control, while integrating energy
efficient control sequences.
• Provide optimal lighting conditions by employing
a combination of lighting control methods,
including event-based scheduling, occupancy
detection, timed switching, daylight sensing,
and task tuning.
• Continuously optimize energy use by setting
usage conditions based on schedules, weather
conditions, occupancy, or daylight sensing.
• Ensure central plant systems operate at peak
efficiency by managing system capacity based
on building load demands and operational
guidelines.
• Use demand-controlled ventilation and occu-
pancy-based control in patient rooms, medical
offices, or exam rooms, to cut energy consump-
tion when these spaces are unoccupied.
• Achieve over 30% energy and operational cost
savings, while reducing your carbon footprint.
A typical hospital consumes far more energy than the average commercial building.
As such, more often than not, administrators are forced to direct a disproportionate
amount of their budgets towards energy expenses, to the detriment of much-needed
facility upgrades, hiring of new medical personnel, or investment in the latest medical
equipment.
Bound by inefficient and inflexible systems and technology, many hospital and healthcare
facility administrators are finding it increasingly difficult to take control of the substantial
lifecycle costs associated with operating their buildings. Additionally, many existing
systems are difficult or impossible to upgrade, further contributing to higher mainte-
nance and repair costs over the life of their buildings.
Reduce Lifecycle Costs & Ensure the Best Return on Investment
For hospital administrators, understanding where their energy dollars are going and
being able to identify areas of improvement are also priorities. Additionally, growing
awareness and demand means that decision makers face increased pressure to cut
their facility’s carbon footprint.
For hospital and healthcare facility administrators, gaining control of their energy spend
is essential, but they also need to ensure that their building automation system runs
optimally 24/7/365; reducing maintenance, operational, and equipment costs, all while
maintaining patient comfort and physician, nurse, and administrative staff productivity.
Ensure Your System is Always Performing Efficiently
Optimize Sustainability & Share Your Initiatives
• Manage all your buildings via one seamless,
centralized interface with global and building
functional capabilities such as alarms,
schedules, etc.
• Free your staff from time-consuming tasks with
a system designed for ease of use.
• Define settings for both preventive and scheduled
maintenance, including monitoring of equipment
quality and filter changes, to reduce operational
costs and increase efficiencies.
• Identify poorly performing equipment and
reduce operational costs with auto diagnostics
capabilities such as our VAV Performance
Assessment Control Charts (VPACC) feature.
• Benefit from quality products, fully tested
before leaving the factory, ensuring long-term
performance and unequalled reliability.
• Achieve improved visualization of vital building
metrics for the entire facility and/or for each
department through an easy-to-use, brow s -
er-based energy management dashboard
application.
• Gain improved visibility and control of your
energy performance with powerful, real-time
reporting and analytics easily tailored for your
specific operational and functional needs.
• Easily identify energy and operational perfor-
mance outliers to take proper actions and
optimize resource efficiencies, with actionable
analytics.
• Establish and track Key Performance Indicators
(KPIs) for your operations.
• Demonstrate your commitment to reducing
energy and operational costs and engage
patients, staff, and visitors in being better
custodians of our environment by displaying
your facility’s dashboard in kiosk mode.
• Distinguish your institution as an environmental
leader by lowering your carbon footprint.
