Florence Nightingale statement is made out the end of the 19th Century. Hospital users safety must be guaranteed against any risk. These risks have to be with the buildings infrastructure against situations such as a give as any possible virus generated in the hospitals.

The need of guaranteeing simultaneously several different atmospheres, the different hospital areas implies a great control over the air volume: Flow, temperature, humidity, air renovations... This means that lots of ducts and air conditions units must be administered and maintained fulfilling the technical regularement of each area of the hospital.
