The required sophistication of air systems in a healthcare setting and the process of working in existing hospitals present many obstacles to the TAB process. The case studies presented highlight how to anticipate such obstacles as well as clearly outline the constraints the team must work with to achieve success.
Learning Objectives:
Identify the common challenges to the TAB process that existing hospitals present.
Explain the reason for an existing conditions assessment prior to a project design.
List the benefits of the TAB contractor performing a design review.
Describe the items to be discussed at a TAB integration meeting.
