MCDM AG.COM | M A RCH /A PR IL 2017 | Medical Construction & Design 63 SOFTWARE Clinical Environment Optimization Solution Drives Energy Savings in Healthcare Facilities Delivered as an application for Schneider Electric's StruxureWare Building Operation software, the new Clinical Environment Optimiza- tion solution integrates hospitals' clinical infrastructure with its facility infrastructure to drive innovation at every level of the organization and offer new opportunities for energy savings, staff productivity and patient satisfaction. The solution shares the occupancy status of patient rooms and operating theaters with the hospital's BMS through the Health Level-7 interface. The BMS then sets rooms to predetermined set points for HVAC and lighting during vacancy to achieve energy savings during unoccupied times. The BMS puts the room back into normal operation when it receives a notifi cation that the patient will be returning or when a room has been assigned to maintain the optimal environment for patient healing and satisfaction.

ID#115 FIXTURES Integral In-Sink Drain System Improves Sink Hygiene Just Manufacturing's Integra Drain system cre- ates a unique integral in-sink drain system. The system design seamlessly joins the drain to the sink, so that the sink and the drain are one complete unit. The results are a safer, seamless sink interior designed to eliminate not only crevices in the sink bottom, but also in the drain. This design completely eliminates the need for additional parts and rings. The system is perfect for healthcare facilities, commercial kitchens, schools, lab- oratories and applications where hygiene is critical. It adds to the hygienic ele- ment of the sink, providing a cleaner solution to sink drains. By eliminating crev- ices not only in the sink bottom, but also in the drain body where standing water may occur, opportunities for potential bacterial growth are reduced.
