The University Hospital Brooklyn (UHB) Pharmacy at SUNY Downstate is undergoing modernization, requiring HVAC system upgrades including the installation of two new automated pharmaceutical storage/retrieval system carousels  within its general pharmacy space and a new “Pharmacy Compounding Complex” (PCC). The new PCC will have stringent requirements for temperature, relative humidity, filtration, and pressurization to maintain environmental conditions in accordance with United States Pharmacopeia (USP) Standards 797 / 800. A new dedicated HVAC and control system will be provided to serve the specific requirements of the PCC.

With less stringent environmental requirements, upgrades to the existing HVAC system in the general pharmacy space are needed to maintain suitable and stable space temperature conditions within the prescribed range, as required by USP Standard 659. The upgrades will include a new source of chilled water for air handling unit (AHU) 11, re-balancing, and a new ducted air distribution system to provide the required cooling for the space.
