HVAC IMPROVEMENTS CUT ENERGY COSTS

摘要

HVAC systems in life science laboratories are high users of energy and, if not well designed and finely tuned, can make labs expensive to run. In the past, the trend has been to overspecify with a view to maximising safety, but as energy costs have risen and budgets tightened companies have been looking to optimise plant location and load sizing. This enables organisations to specify smaller air handling units (AHUs) and cut down on expensive ductwork. Innovative technology for new builds or that can be retrofitted is also being employed to cut HVAC costs.
