The first emergency department developed according to revised UNFC standards

Among the challenges encountered were the major changes made to the emergency and intensive care department program, which was completely reprogrammed during the preparation of plans and specifications, according to the most recent standards of the emergency department management guide. Following that, electrical and mechanical services were designed according to the very specific features of the equipment models recommended by the hospital. The ventilation/air conditioning systems were designed as per standards and with energy recovery of waste heat from specialized medical equipment. In addition, a central chilled water network and a cooler and its components were connected to the emergency electrical network to serve this equipment in the event of a shutdown of the Hydro-Québec power grid.
