E6.2 Option 2: Purchase Equipment That Has Built-In FDD Capabilities. The device’s software routines include an onboard rules engine in a device such as an RTU or chiller that analyzes data to determine the nature of the internal fault.
297 E6.3 Option 3: Engage a Third-Party FDD Software Supplier to Provide FDD on an Automated Basis. Option 3 contains two suboptions. The FDD software supplier may have software to compare a device to one or more other devices (Option 3a) or to compare t…

In response to the urgent global imperative for sustainable infrastructure in the face of climate change, ASHRAE’s Task Force for Building Decarbonization and the American Society for Health Care Engineering have developed Decarbonizing Hospital Buildings, a guide focused on the design, construction, and operation of decarbonized new hospital buildings and major renovations. Due to their complexity, hospitals require special attention if they are to meet the challenge of zero operational carbon by 2030, as recommended by the ASHRAE Position Document on Building Decarbonization. Addressing the unique challenges healthcare facilities face, Decarbonizing Hospital Buildings navigates the complex landscape of definitions and standards surrounding zero emissions buildings, focusing on ASHRAE’s robust framework for decarbonization. This guide offers practical strategies for achieving carbon neutrality by 2030. From optimizing process loads to leveraging advanced thermal energy solutions, every aspect of hospital design, construction, and operation is meticulously examined. Key features include the following: • Detailed exploration of Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions within the context of hospital infrastructure. • Integration of ASHRAE standards with international best practices for comprehensive carbon accounting. • Practical methodologies for calculating and reducing both operational and embodied carbon. • Case studies and expert insights from leading healthcare organizations on successful decarbonization strategies. Intended for stakeholders in the design, construction, and operation of hospital buildings, this indispensable resource provides actionable insights into procuring environmental attributes and implementing effective offsets. It complements ASHRAE’s broader series on building decarbonization, ensuring seamless integration of hospital-specific guidance into overarching sustainability goals.
