So many considerations go into a lab. How many fume hoods do I need? What chemicals can they handle and how often? What about ducting? How can we meet our needs and still be a green, forward-thinking facility? Fume hoods have the largest impact on HVAC operation costs for a lab and as the demand for efficiency continues to rise, cost effective solutions need to be explored. Join Kasey Fulmer as he discusses the options for safe and efficient means of exhausting.
