Equipment will provide data to control the central heating, ventilation and air conditioning system in the building


Vaisala will be contributing humidity, temperature, and carbon dioxide measurement instruments to the new children's hospital to be constructed in Helsinki, Finland in 2017. The equipment is valued at an estimated €225,000 and will be integrated into the hospital's building automation solution.

'This project is a very valuable one for Finnish wellbeing, as well as for the future. We at Vaisala are delighted and proud to join in the effort to help build the world's best children's hospital,' says Vaisala President and CEO Kjell Forsén. 'In a hospital environment, good indoor air quality is an obvious and fundamental requirement for both patients and staff, helping to ensure high quality care and a safe working environment.'

Vaisala's measurement equipment will provide data to control the central heating, ventilation and air conditioning system in the building. These instruments will gather data on temperature, carbon dioxide, and relative humidity. The information will be used to adjust ventilation intensity to meet actual ambient conditions and requirements, which changes based on the number of people in a particular area. This also helps to ensure that indoor air quality is optimized, further improving the overall energy efficiency of the building.

'The new children's hospital is being designed and constructed in accordance with a dozen select and measurable criteria. In addition to medical processes, the child's and family's experience in the hospital are at the core of this project. Other important factors include the hospital as a work environment, its reliability, safety, and energy efficiency,' comments Chairman of the Board of the New Children's Hospital 2017 Foundation, Anne Berner.

'Vaisala's contribution brings the industry-leading, state-of-the-art technology to the children's hospital, which will help us reach our target to build the world's best children's hospital.'
