This webinar will explore the critical role filtration has in maintaining optimal indoor air quality in laboratory environments, focusing on the impact of continuous exposure to airborne contaminants and the ASHRAE 241 standard, which addresses control against infectious aerosols. We will delve into the importance of Air Change Rates (ACH) and how increasing ACH can affect a building's Energy Use Intensity (EUI). Attendees will learn about the solutions available to ensure compliance with indoor air quality standards, enhancing lab safety and fostering healthier work environments. The session will also cover how advanced filtration technologies can help achieve equivalent Air Change Rates (eACH), providing a sustainable approach to maintaining safe air quality levels without compromising energy efficiency.
In addition to discussing air quality standards, the webinar will highlight new initiatives aimed at decarbonization, such as New York City's Local Law 97, Boston’s Building Emissions Reduction and Disclosure Ordinance (BERDO), and St. Louis' Building Energy Performance Standards. These regulations mandate significant emission reductions for buildings over specific sizes, with compliance deadlines approaching, or face substantial fines. The presentation will detail how these mandates influence lab design and operations, emphasizing the role of sustainable filtration and HVAC strategies in meeting compliance targets while reducing energy consumption. Join us to discover how integrating advanced fume hood technologies and sustainable practices can support your facility's journey toward decarbonization and compliance with evolving air quality standards.
