Case Study: Academic Medical Center achieves zero surgical disruptions with EBI Consulting’s continuous IAQ monitoring

Academic Medical Center ensures zero surgical disruptions with EBI Consulting's 24/7 IAQ monitoring

During a multi-phase operating room renovation, a large academic medical center faced the challenge of protecting patients and staff from construction dust. They needed to ensure infection control measures were effective and avoid disruptions to nearby surgical suites. The center partnered with EBI Consulting to implement a proactive, continuous indoor air quality (IAQ) monitoring program to provide real-time data on airborne particulates.

EBI Consulting deployed a solution using SmartSense technology to continuously monitor PM2.5 and PM10 levels around the construction area. The program provided 24/7 remote monitoring with real-time alerts, allowing for immediate investigation of any elevated readings. As a result, the medical center achieved zero disruptions to surgical operations, and the data helped improve construction dust controls, turning their approach from reactive to proactive.
