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.
