Laboratory Energy Savings
This project will occur in the following buildings: CARE/Crawley; Cardiovascular Research Center (CVC). The work involves modifications to the Phoenix Air Valve controls in order to reduce the air flow in the laboratory to 8 Air Changes per Hour (ACH) the minimum required by the Laboratory Standard. If greater flow is required due to thermal load the flow will be allowed to increase up to 12 ACH. During unoccupied times the air flow rate will be reduced to 4 ACH unless the thermal load requires a greater air flow. Occupancy sensors will be added in order to determine whether the space is occupied. In CARE the sensors may be relocated to eliminate tripping of sensors while walking down the main corridor. In Kettering the work will take place in the IEH Addition and the 83 existing exhaust fans will be replaced with several new exhaust fans.
