HVAC Design for Sustainable Lab
The HVAC systems in a typical laboratory facility can use five-to-10 times as much energy as the systems in a typical office building. This higher energy use is due to many factors including 100% outside air systems, 24-hour-a-day operation, high internal heat gains, high change rate requirements, equipment exhaust requirements, and high fan energy. This article provides practical guidance on how to increase energy efficiency in laboratories and minimize water consumption through applications including variable discharge velocity, special discharge dampers, multiple fan staging, energy recovery, and correct equipment sizing.Units: DualCitation: ASHRAE Journal, vol. 50, no. 9, September 2008
