Healthcare Facility HVAC System Replacement Without Patient Disruption

🔧 The Challenge

A regional medical center's 15-year-old HVAC system was failing repeatedly, with three major breakdowns in a single summer. The facility could not afford to shut down patient areas, and operating rooms required precise temperature and humidity control at all times. The facility needed a complete system replacement without disrupting patient care.

💡 Our Solution

Auxi deployed a phased replacement strategy, working with a specialized mechanical contractor to install new rooftop units one section at a time. Temporary cooling was provided during each transition. All work was scheduled during off-hours, with continuous monitoring of OR temperature and humidity throughout the project. Auxi coordinated with facility management to minimize noise and disruption.

✅ The Outcome

All 8 rooftop units were replaced over 14 weeks with zero OR downtime. Energy consumption dropped 38 percent, saving $142,000 annually. The new system provides redundant cooling capacity for critical areas. No patient complaints were received during the project.
