description:

VGH is the largest facility in the Vancouver Hospital and Health Science Centre (VHHSC) group of medical facilities and is a teaching hospital affiliated with the University of British Columbia (UBC).

job description:

ESC has been working with VGH since 1987 and has completed many projects there since, including installing a fire alarm monitoring system which was completed in 1993, and supplying a BACnet interface to the Triteck pressurized room controllers ten years prior. Most recently, ESC installed over 40 panels in 500 different zones in just a few short years- all while limiting downtime and ensuring patient comfort in the biggest hospital in Vancouver. ESC was involved during the building’s initial construction and currently provides ongoing maintenance services for this 17-floor hospital tower.

results:

Over the past 30 years, ESC has installed over 35,000 data points throughout the five buildings in VGH and has completed both HVAC and lighting projects. Because of this long-standing relationship, the engineers at ESC are aware of the patient requirements and can plan projects accordingly now and in the many years to come.
