Labs21 Advanced Course: Laboratory Ventilation
Design
New to this year's conference, Labs21 was excited to announce our
first advanced design course offering! The course, part of a series
of advanced course modules on sustainable laboratory design and
related topics, was based on Labs21
Best Practice Guides.
Laboratory ventilation systems are designed to provide a safe and
comfortable working environment for occupants. But these high-airflow
systems can require substantial operational costs and energy usage.
This course focused on reducing energy use through optimizing laboratory
ventilation design, specifically by recognizing the individual building's
unique aspects for safe operation.
The course included sessions discussing:
- Optimizing laboratory ventilation rate
- High-performance laboratory exhaust devices
- Low-pressure-drop duct design
- Advanced effluent dispersion design
This course was worth 6 Professional Development Hours (PDHs) for
professional engineers and 6 Continuing Education Credits (CECs)
from the American Institute of Architects for registered architects.
