Biosafety cabinets (BSCs) and chemical fume hoods are essential for protecting people and the laboratory working environment from biological and chemical hazards. But this protection comes with a trade off – laboratory ventilation is one of the most energy intensive parts of any facility and can significantly increase operational costs.

This webinar will break down how airflow, daily use and overall equipment design can impact energy consumption.

Learning Objectives

1. Explore differences between BSCs and fume hoods
2. Identify how fume hoods and BSCs contribute to overall lab energy use
3. Discover how intelligent technology systems can improve efficiency and overall performance
4. Outline strategies to reduce operational cost without compromising safety
