This publication is one a in series of case studies for ''Laboratories for the 21st Century,'' a joint program of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Department of Energy. It is geared toward architects and engineers who are familiar with laboratory buildings, and encourages the design, construction, and operation of safe, sustainable, high-performance laboratories. Featured technologies of this laboratory include fume hoods, controls, mechanical systems, electrical loads, sustainable design/planning, and daylighting.

This publication is one in series of best practice 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 those who plan to design and construct public and private-sector laboratory buildings. This guide describes how implementing low-pressure-drop design strategies established in the early stages of the design process will result in much lower energy costs through the system's life.

This publication is one in series of best practice 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 those who plan to design and construct public and private-sector laboratory buildings. This guide provides general information on specifying acceptable exhaust and intake designs. It also provides various quantitative approaches that can be used to determine expected concentration levels resulting from exhaust system emissions.
