When it comes to lab sustainability, the importance is clear, but the path forward often isn’t. Choosing the right fume hood is a prime example: lab managers must balance safety, flexibility, cost, and compliance, all while ensuring alignment with broader sustainability goals.
This compendium provides lab managers with a roadmap for building a more sustainable lab, from applying ASHRAE standards and achieving LEED or net-zero status to evaluating the financial and environmental impact of ductless filtering fume hoods. Through two case studies, it also explores how modern labs are rethinking ventilation to meet operational and sustainability goals.
Download this compendium to learn how to:
- Compare the safety, energy use, and long-term costs of ducted and ductless fume hoods
- Interpret key ASHRAE standards to improve energy efficiency and indoor air quality
- Align infrastructure decisions with institutional sustainability goals like net-zero and LEED certification
