Update to CSA Z317.2 (HVAC)

In December of 2019, the Canadian Standards Association released the newest version of the CSA Z317.2:19 Special requirements for heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems in health care facilities standard. While the standard itself is not new, there certainly are new things of which CHES members need to be aware. Many aspects of the standard have been updated and adjusted based on the newest thinking of the impact of HVAC systems on patient outcomes and safety. This webinar will explore the Z317.2 project, changes to the standard based on the most recent learnings and additions to the standard with a focus on what planners, designers and operators need to know, where those changes are and why they have been made.This webinar will be led by the chair and vice-chair of the technical sub-committee responsible for the HVAC standard and will provide insight into both the current thinking as well as what areas that are already under consideration for the next edition of the standard. You will hear “from the committee table” and gain an understanding of the importance of these systems and the collective knowledge contained within the covers of this important standard.
