Daylighting in Laboratories; Laboratories for the 21st Century: Best Practices

This best practices guide describes how designing a building to include daylighting can save energy and utility costs (especially energy costs for electric lighting) while improving productivity and morale among a building's occupants. Several examples are given of the effective use of daylighting in new laboratory buildings. The publication is one of an ongoing series for''Laboratories for the 21st Century,'' a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy Federal Energy Management Program. It is intended for all those who plan, design, and construct public and private-sector laboratory buildings.

Energy Recovery for Ventilation Air in Laboratories; Laboratories for the 21st Century: Best Practices (open access)

Energy Recovery for Ventilation Air in Laboratories; Laboratories for the 21st Century: Best Practices

This publication is one of a series of best practices guides for ''Laboratories for the 21st Century,'' a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy Federal Energy Management Program. It is intended for all those who plan, design, and construct public and private-sector laboratory buildings. Laboratory buildings typically consume 5 to 10 times more energy for heating, cooling, and fans than most office buildings, because they need to be ventilated so well, primarily for safety reasons. This publication describes how using air-to-air energy recovery methods-such as enthalpy (desiccant) wheels, heat pipes, or run-around loops-allows laboratory building designers to specify smaller heating and cooling systems. This in turn reduces the total amount of energy they use.

It is intended for those who plan, design, and construct public and private-sector laboratory buildings. The aim is to use the most energy-efficient and reliable strategies--such as combined heat and power systems, photovoltaics, and fuel cells--to produce power on site and reduce a laboratory's use of utility-generated power, as well as the greenhouse gases associated with burning fossil fuels for power production. Examples are included.
