Investigations of the microclimate in hospital wards
AbstractThe microclimates of some patients' rooms in a convalescent hospital were studied during the period May - December. To analyse the conditions of temperature and air humidity, psychrometric and thermohygrographic measurements were made. Temperature-humidity conditions in hospital rooms are bad and deviate much from the accepted norm which should result in the “comfort feeling”. In particular excessive air temperature fluctuations during 24 hours were observed. In spite of the generally accepted view, that by using central heating the air humidity should be very small, in all months investigated, the humidity was within normal limits and sometimes was even too high. The discomfort of patients who spent a long time in the closed heated rooms was not caused in our investigations by a deficit of humidity, but by a too-high or too-low temperature.
