Hospital case study
PRS technology.
In a real hospital.
Watch the supplied hospital film and see the setting for yourself. Then explore what a building-specific approach could mean for your own estate.

The challenge:
safer air in complex
clinical buildings.
Wards, corridors, waiting areas and treatment spaces each bring different operational needs. Hospital estates can include older infrastructure and spaces where disruption must be kept to a minimum.
The question is not only how to treat air. It is how to make an approach work within the realities of the hospital.
Plan around hospital operations
Understand access, installation and operational constraints.
Work with existing systems
Assess the current ventilation and air-handling arrangements.
Support infection prevention
Consider an additional measure for airborne risk reduction.
Bring the right teams together
Connect estates expertise with clinical priorities.
Could this work in your hospital?
Every hospital building is different. Start with a focused conversation
about your air-handling systems, risk areas and operational priorities.
The approach
Begin with the building.
Discuss which areas are served, how air moves and what integration would require. Ask PRS for the installation scope, commissioning arrangements and maintenance plan relevant to your proposed system.
Explore how it works →The evidence
Understand what was measured.
Ask for the monitoring methods, baselines and operating conditions behind any reported result. A hospital installation does not by itself establish a reduction in hospital-acquired infections.
Review the evidence →After the infection prevention case
The energy savings
keep working.
The hospital film sets out an estimated payback of around four to five years for the proposed whole-site investment, with energy savings continuing afterwards.
For a hospital, that means the potential for ongoing net savings to support its operating budget once capital costs have been recovered.
Watch the financial discussion from 4:12 ↗This is a forecast for the proposal discussed in the film. Realised savings and payback depend on the installation, operating conditions, energy prices and ongoing costs.
