Alignment of Standards for Facility Ventilation
Bryan Langlands and Michael Sheerin

ASHRAE and FGI have collaborated since 2008 on coordinating standards for ventilation of health care facilities, in conjunction with the American Society for Health Care Engineering. For the last few years, the organizations have continued working together to better align the FGI Guidelines and ASHRAE 170: Ventilation of Health Care Facilities with a goal of making it easier for designers and facility managers to use the documents in planning, designing, constructing, and operating health and residential care facilities.
This article in Health Facilities Management reviews the updates that appear in the 2022 edition of the FGI Guidelines and the 2021 edition of Standard 170, which is included in the Guidelines documents.
