>The research and the work in laboratories will be more extreme as more results will be required in the future
>Laboratories today require an effective ventilation to handle a large amount of in and out flow
>One fume cupboard uses the same amount of energy, e.g. one family home for 4 persons
>The age of the ventilation system has a large impact on the effect of costs
>Therefore it is very important that the ventilation can cope with all/most activities in the lab
Laboratories today – some facts
6
> There are many different interests in laboratories today as
many different departemens are involved.And each one of them believe that their task is the most importent one.
But :
What is the main goal for a new laboratory ?
High interest in laboratories
Many stakeholders and many sub-goals in the laboratory

> Sustainability becomes more and more evident
- low energy consumption
- long lifecycles
- environmental friendly
> Total costs of ownership
- investment
- running costs
- others
> Running costs of fume cupboards
- mainly caused by consumption of preconditioned air
- depends on the volume flow ( exhaust volume )
But:
9
> Fume cupboards, ventilation systems, chemical waste,
and equipment make laboratories one of the biggest
challenges striving to become more sustainable.
Reducing energy consumption is one if the most
important aspects of making laboratories more
sustainable.
Consequence:
10
What can be done to make laboratory work more sustainable?
> Providing knowledge about the total energy costs of
running laboratories can build motivation for more
energy-efficient behaviour in those who use them.
> Reduce water
> Proper waste management
11
> Usage and storage:
Knowing precisely where chemicals are stocked is vital for
optimising storage (labelling)
When possible: substitution with less hazardous alternatives
(safer and less waste costs)
> Store secondary equipment such as vacuum pumps that
produce a lot of excess heat in a specially designated room
What can be done to make laboratory work more sustainable?
12
AND, of course:
> Reduction of energy consumption !
> Energy visualisation in the laboratory
What can be done to make laboratory work more sustainable?
13
The fume cupboard
What is the most energy comsuming element in a laboratory?
14
> The fume cupboard functions can be expressed as the ability to
Remove pollution released from a source inside the fume cupboard Extracting gases, fumes, and vapors etc. from fume cupboard Protection against spatter and fragments from uncontrolled reactions Explosion protection
Main function is to make people and the environment around the fume cupboard safe !
What is a fume cupboard ?
15
> Dilemma
The higher the volume flow the higher the safety
Safety vs. Sustainability
16
> Answer:
Energy efficient fume cupboards that remain safe !
Safety vs. Sustainability
