The Science of ComfortTM
Labs use significant amounts of energy due to their makeup air requirements driven by the air changes needed to protect lab personnel from exposure to airborne hazards. There is currently a big push in the industry to improve energy efficiency and decarbonize lab facilities. One way to do this is to scrutinize air change rate requirements by relying less on established rules of thumb and more on analysis based on the unique needs of the facility.

The last few years have seen an increased focus on indoor air quality. Occupants want to feel comfortable in commercial spaces, and building owners, architects and engineers want to know that they’re constructing and renovating facilities with products that work as intended. No gimmicks – just real, science-backed solutions.

Stratified air systems are widely known for their ability to condition a variety of spaces in an energy-efficient way. Beyond providing energy savings, however, these systems can also improve indoor air quality.

Obtaining efficient ventilation with overhead mixing systems for applications in heating climates can be a challenge. Not only does the positive buoyancy of the supply air work against the air distribution system, but most overhead mixing systems are designed with low supply air volumes (relative to cooling) and high supply air temperatures (more than 15°F above room temperature).
