Nortec to Host Webinar: Healthcare Facility Building and Management

Ottawa, ON, February 16, 2017 (Newswire.com) - ​Nortec is proud to announce it will be hosting a webinar with Engineered Systems Magazine on Thursday, February 23. This webinar will help educate healthcare facility managers and building professionals on the importance of humidification and key benefits for people, process and technology.

“Indoor air quality and adequate humidification play a highly important role in occupant health,” said Duncan Curd, GM of Nortec. “Low indoor air quality in healthcare facilities leads to many problems, such as a higher instance of hospital-acquired infections and poor workplace health.”

By ensuring a consistent humidification level of 40% RH throughout healthcare buildings at all times, facilities can expect to experience a wide variety of benefits including reduced HAIs, improved patient outcomes, reduced absenteeism and better productivity.
