Maintain Constant Uptime

For hospitals and healthcare facilities, equipment downtime can be the difference between life and death. LONG helps ensure facilities meet zero-failure tolerance and mitigate risk due to outages. We accomplish this by focusing on reliable and redundant (primarily N+1) HVAC systems, as well as single points of failure in BAS (Building Automation System) architecture and control panels. And if HVAC, controls, or security equipment does go down, we offer 24/7/365 emergency service, backed by an in-house parts team, to get it up and running as fast as possible. In addition, our service teams perform preventative maintenance, extending equipment life, ensuring proper operation, and identifying potential problems or upgrade opportunities for aging, failure-prone equipment.

Protect People & Assets

Our Security Solutions team is committed to delivering security solutions that ensure the safety of patients and staff. For hospitals and healthcare facilities, asset protection can be just as important because of expensive equipment and restricted medicines, so it’s vital that access is tightly controlled and monitored. We use our vast knowledge of security systems and healthcare facility experience to assess facilities, select appropriate equipment, and provide installation and service.

Manage IAQ & Infection Control

Hospitals and other healthcare facilities are where people go to get healthy, so it’s essential that their indoor environments are healthy too. Our solutions are tailored to help facilities maintain optimal IAQ (Indoor Air Quality) standards and reduce the spread of infectious pathogens. We design HVAC systems to help with zoned temperature control, high ventilation, filtration and HEPA filtration, humidity control, and pressure control, such as sustaining positive pressure in operating rooms and negative pressure in isolation rooms. On the security side, door interlocking systems help maintain the precise environments of sensitive rooms, ensuring IAQ.

Understand Building Performance

Our Building Automation team ensures your varied systems are tied together so your building can operate holistically and in a coordinated fashion. Then, through building analytics, we help give you insight into how those systems are performing at any given moment. This is accomplished through utilization of an FDD (Fault Detection and Analytics) platform within your BAS. The FDD platform:

  1. Monitors system and equipment operation 24/7
  2. Alerts to faults the moment they occur
  3. Gives clear prioritization of issues
  4. Tracks financial impact and avoided costs for distinct ROI
  5. Provides performance and service verification

Not only do we utilize this information to enhance the schedule service we execute, but we then help you interpret and understand the data in a consultation that allows you to plan and budget for your facility.

Meet Compliance & Documentation Standards

We know that meeting and remaining compliant with regulations is high priority for hospitals and healthcare facilities, so we include this in all our solutions. Our access control and VMS solutions keep you in compliance with HIPAA regulations by restricting entries to areas containing private patient records, letting you closely monitor access. As HVAC, security, and environmental regulations evolve, we’ll make sure your building evolves with them to maintain compliance.

Documentation of compliance is also necessary, and it’s a major aspect of our service. Our team is steadfast in the documentation we provide for services performed, and we go above and beyond to be transparent and communicative about our work, so you know exactly where things stand. Our commitment to accurate, in-depth documentation also enables us to standardize our work, thereby improving the service we deliver. We program according to standard guidelines that are checked internally and only use validated and proven control sequences and algorithms that have been vetted over decades. This means that any one of our techs can service your BAS as efficiently as the one who programmed it, giving you consistent, effective service through the lifecycle of your building.

Hospitals & Healthcare Facilities FAQs

Healthcare facilities rely on HVAC systems, building automation systems, and security systems to maintain safe, compliant, and efficient operations.

HVAC systems control temperature, humidity, airflow, and filtration, all of which are essential for patient safety, infection control, and regulatory compliance.

Hospitals use HEPA filtration, controlled ventilation, pressure relationships, and humidity control to reduce airborne contaminants and maintain safe environments.

Building automation systems connect HVAC, controls, and monitoring systems to optimize performance, detect faults, and provide real-time system visibility.

System failures can disrupt patient care and create safety risks, which is why redundancy, monitoring, and preventative maintenance are critical.

Facilities follow strict standards for HVAC, security, and documentation, supported by ongoing monitoring, reporting, and system validation.

Redundancy ensures continuous operation by providing backup systems in case of equipment failure, reducing risk in critical environments.
