PROJECT BRIEF
Our client was experiencing high energy demand driven by high volumes of treated fresh air to a large number of fume cupboards operating 24/7.
METHODOLOGY
We were tasked with targeting fume cupboard capture face velocity (CFV) reduction and introducing night setback in order to reduce energy demand without compromising on laboratory personnel safety.
SOLUTION
We carried out the following:
Produced a detailed smoke trial approach document for client approval
Proved the feasibility of reducing CFV by carrying out a smoke visualisation trial
Produced a bespoke smoke trial video matrix to simplify video analysis of trial
Recommended replacement of existing laboratory supply air diffusers
Demonstrated capability to safely reduce existing CFV’s to level agreed with EHS / users
Developed diversity and night setback strategy for client review
Complete risk assessments, change and regulatory documentation
CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
The EECO2 team demonstrated a thorough understanding of laboratory air systems. The data obtained was instrumental in formulating our energy reduction strategy… also their flexibility (weekend working) was appreciated.
