The Benefits of AHU Refurbishment in Healthcare Facilities

A Daikin Applied (UK) CPD Training Session

Extend Equipment Life, Improve Efficiency, and Reduce Costs

For healthcare facilities, ventilation systems must meet stringent performance, hygiene, and compliance standards. Replacing full AHU systems can be costly and disruptive, but refurbishment offers a smart, efficient alternative.

This free CPD session from Daikin Applied (UK) explores how to assess and upgrade existing air handling units (AHUs) to enhance efficiency, improve indoor air quality, reduce energy use, and ensure compliance with the latest healthcare ventilation guidance.

What Will You Learn?

What is AHU Refurbishment and What Does it Involve?

Replacing fans, filters, controls, coils, panels, and more

Upgrading individual components for improved efficiency, lifespan and maintainability

The difference between belt-driven, AC plug, and EC plug fans—and why EC fans are preferred

Key performance metrics: T2/TB2/D2/L2 casing construction, ISO 16890 filtration, and airflow control

Why Refurbishment is a Smart Investment

Lower upfront cost than full replacement

Quicker project turnaround

Extended equipment life and reduced maintenance requirements

Improved indoor air quality and compliance with BS EN 1886

Proven energy and carbon savings with real-world case studies

Refurbishment in Practice

How Daikin Applied (UK) carries out AHU refurbishment projects

Site survey, schedule of works, staged refurbishments for minimal disruption

Flat-packed or assembled component delivery

Safe disposal of redundant components

Commissioning and performance testing

Why Healthcare Facilities Need Refurbishment

HTM-03-01 (2021) defines construction, filtration, access, and fan performance requirements

Older AHUs often fail to meet key standards such as filter bypass leakage, casing integrity, or air leakage

Upgrading fan systems provides redundancy, resilience, and improved system control

NHS aims to cut emissions by 80% by 2028—AHU refurbishment can be a major contributor
