HVAC Engineering for Hybrid Operating Theatres

Discover how HVAC engineering supports the most critical built environments in the Hybrid OT Live Showcase at MARVEX 2025 – a collaboration with JAF.

This live demonstration highlights the core mechanical systems that enable Hybrid Operating Theatres, where surgical and imaging functions converge in a shared space with strict environmental controls.

Key Engineering Focus Areas:

✅ Precision Airflow Design to maintain laminar flow
✅ HEPA Filtration Systems for contaminant control
✅ Temperature & Humidity Regulation to meet operational thresholds
✅ Positive Pressurisation for sterility assurance

The showcase reveals how HVAC design directly impacts compliance, sterility, and system integration, offering engineers a clear view of the technical backbone that supports high-performance surgical environments.
