SIMPLIFY COMPLEX HOSPITAL MANAGEMENT
Managing a hospital environment is highly complex because it requires the needs of many different users to be integrated: doctors, service staff, vulnerable patients and visitors.
From access security and control of surgical environments to ventilation management and specialist lighting, the challenge is to balance public areas with highly secure spaces within the same facility.
Our interoperable BACnet platform provides flexibility, enables solutions to evolve over time and helps reduce energy costs, adapting to changing operational requirements while supporting the continuity and efficiency of healthcare facilities.
OUR SERVICES FOR HOSPITALS
Data Controls solutions help maintain healthy buildings, manage access according to authorisation levels and control all HVAC systems — including microclimate parameters — from a single point.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTROL TO THE HIGHEST PREVENTION STANDARDS
Operating theatres, isolation rooms and emergency departments present very different environmental challenges, but one requirement remains constant: monitoring and control must be precise, timely and reliable.
Indoor air quality in hospitals is a critical factor in the wellbeing of both patients and staff and requires specialist HVAC expertise in heating, ventilation and air conditioning.
This makes it possible to manage building systems, update programmes and consult critical data from authorised workstations.

ACCESS MANAGEMENT
A hospital must remain open and welcoming to the public while protecting restricted areas such as operating theatres. With large numbers of staff involved in 24-hour care, authorisation-based access control is essential for safely regulating who can enter and leave restricted areas.
Access to specific areas can be configured for individual users or groups such as doctors and nurses. Lighting can also be automated according to operational requirements in different areas, helping reduce costs.

HVAC CONTROL FOR NURSING STAFF
Nursing staff now have a growing number of operational responsibilities in addition to patient care and need to use many hospital systems while reporting service issues as they arise.
Critical areas must be monitored and access records maintained, so nurses need fast, efficient access to the systems relevant to their work.
Data Controls provides software and hardware with intuitive interfaces designed for these requirements. Touchscreen displays such as enteliTOUCH and enteliVIEW allow nursing staff to manage and monitor operational activities easily.
For more advanced control or monitoring, enteliWEB provides access from network-connected devices such as PCs, tablets and smartphones, with customisable dashboards and different access levels for different users.

FAQ
How are environmental parameters monitored and controlled in operating theatres and critical departments in line with healthcare requirements?
In critical areas such as operating theatres, isolation rooms, intensive care units and emergency departments, the Data Controls Building Automation system enables precise monitoring and control of the main environmental parameters of HVAC systems: temperature, relative humidity, air changes, differential pressure and indoor air quality (IAQ).
Control logic can be configured for each department according to the healthcare facility’s specific technical and operational requirements. This helps maintain stable, consistent conditions over time, reducing environmental variability and supporting conditions aligned with the technical requirements of the different areas of the facility. The system records data continuously, making them available for verification and internal monitoring by technical managers and the Facility Manager.
Can the BACnet system be integrated with existing hospital technical systems such as HVAC, lighting, security and access control?
Yes. The Data Controls platform is based on the open BACnet protocol, which is designed to ensure interoperability between systems and devices from different manufacturers. This means HVAC, lighting, access-control, security and other technological subsystems already installed in the facility can be integrated progressively without having to replace the existing infrastructure.
The result is centralised supervision through a single platform, reducing operational fragmentation and simplifying day-to-day management for technical and administrative staff.
How does access control work in high-risk departments such as intensive care, pharmacies or laboratories?
The Data Controls access-control system allows different authorisation profiles to be defined for individual users or groups, such as doctors, nurses, technical staff and authorised visitors, with access to specific areas limited according to role, time and required security level.
Sensitive areas such as intensive care units, pharmacies, operating theatres, laboratories and technical rooms can be selectively protected while maintaining smooth access to public areas of the facility. The system can be fully integrated with CCTV, intrusion detection, lighting and HVAC, all managed from a single centralised platform, including remotely. Every access event is tracked and recorded, enabling detailed audits and reconstruction of any event.
Can the system optimise energy consumption without compromising the 24/7 operational continuity required by healthcare facilities?
Yes. Building Automation solutions optimise HVAC, lighting and other technical systems according to actual space usage, operating hours, department occupancy profiles and active authorisations. This approach helps eliminate waste in temporarily unused areas without compromising the operational continuity of active zones.
In a healthcare facility operating 24 hours a day, optimisation is not achieved by interrupting services but through intelligent, continuous system control that reduces consumption while maintaining the performance required by each department.
Can the system export reports useful for audits and technical checks?
Data Controls supervision platforms provide access at any time to historical data, operating trends, alarm records and system activity logs. This information is structured and available to Facility Managers and technical managers, with reports that can be exported to support internal checks, verification of department environmental conditions, analysis of anomalies and documentation of completed interventions.
This provides continuous technical traceability, useful both for routine management and for inspection or audit activities.
Can RED5 devices be programmed according to the technical and operational requirements of individual departments?
Yes. RED5 controllers are freely programmable and can be configured to meet the different technical and operational requirements of individual hospital departments. Control logic for ventilation, microclimate management, lighting, access and alarms can be automated and adapted to the specific needs of each area, from operating theatres to general wards.
Once configured, the system operates autonomously and precisely, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving the consistency and reliability of day-to-day technical management.
