Case Study: Wythe County Hospital achieves uninterrupted HVAC upgrades and JCAHO compliance with Trane Commercial

Wythe County

Wythe County Hospital, the only hospital serving 36,000 people in two counties, faced the challenge of upgrading the HVAC systems in its operating suites to meet strict JCAHO standards. The critical requirement was that the renovation could not interfere with surgical procedures or daily hospital operations. They trusted Trane Commercial to provide a solution.

Trane implemented a new Climate Changer air handler in a separate equipment room and updated the Tracer Summit building automation system with new DDC controls. This approach allowed the upgrade to proceed with no downtime. The solution provided optimal temperature, humidity, and pressurization control for sensitive areas. The hospital's facilities director hailed the Tracer Summit system as the best purchase the hospital had ever made, and Trane's expertise ensured JCAHO specifications were met throughout the project.
