Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	A building management system (BMS) for a medical facility that includes a plurality of rooms with at least one of the rooms having a plurality of sensors. An elevated infection risk determination system is operatively coupled to the plurality of sensors for determining when an elevated infection risk occurs in one or more of the rooms. The BMS may include a memory for storing one or more programmable infection risk compliance parameters, an input port for receiving an elevated infection risk alert for the particular room in the medical facility, a control port for providing control commands to one or more building components of the building management system, and a controller. The controller may be configured to provide control commands via the control port in response to receiving the elevated infection risk alert for the particular room based at least in part on one or more programmable infection risk compliance parameters to help mitigate the elevated infection risk in the particular room.
