This course addresses the six areas that are most responsible for energy waste in laboratories including the air handling systems and fume hoods and provides numerous suggestions for reducing energy use.

Upon completing this course, you will be able to identify the key components of a laboratory HVAC design that will:

• Optimize ventilation (air change) rates and reduce fume hood energy;
• Right-size HVAC system capacity and minimize simultaneous heating and cooling;
• Lower HVAC fan energy use; and
• Evaluate energy recovery.
