Are You in Compliance?
In 2015, ASHRAE developed a new Standard aimed at preventing the growth and spread of Legionella.
Proactively managing building water systems and reducing the potential for Legionella growth by following this Standard can help building and facility managers prevent many legionellosis cases.
ASHRAE 188 applies to healthcare and hospitality facilities, including:
- Where patients stay overnight
- Buildings with open or closed circuit cooling towers
- Buildings with more than 10 stories (including sub-levels)
- Multiple housing units with central potable hot water heater
- Where people with a weakened immune system are housed or treated
- Where people with chronic or acute medical problems are housed or treated
- Where people older than 65 years are housed or treated, with or without on-site skilled nursing staff
- Buildings with water systems that can aerosolize water particles including decorative fountains, misting systems, whirlpools, spas, etc.
ASHRAE 188 contains special considerations for healthcare facilities.
CDC encourages all healthcare facilities to include clinical disease surveillance as well as environmental surveillance in their legionellosis risk management plans.
