Abstract
Water and air they mean life, but their quality represents our health. The main aim of the article is to introduce our research project "Hygienic Water audit scheme as a tool in the fight against Legionella" in terms of specific requirements from companies to minimize the energy efficiency for elimination of microbiological contamination of water supply and air conditioning systems (replace thermal disinfection by another effective method). The issue of water contamination, resp. air of Legionella pneumophila, its appearance and impact on the design and operation of water supply and air conditioning systems is relatively young. Little known problem in Slovakia has in the context of the European Union a serious position as it causes high mortality. The aim of the interdisciplinary research is to analyze the current state of hospital buildings, of the individual factors on a working materials and working environment in terms of their potential for microbiological contamination.
