CIBSE SA | Designing Sustainable Laboratories and High-Tech Facilities

Benchmarking tools play a crucial role in sustainable laboratory design and operation by providing key data and metrics to compare energy usage, water consumption, emissions, and overall efficiency. A well-functioning control system is essential for any building to operate safely, comfortably, and efficiently. This is especially critical in laboratories, where the ventilation system and other associated HVAC not only regulate temperature and humidity but also protect occupants from hazardous pollutants.

This technical presentation will provide a deep dive into the advancements in airflow control technology that significantly improved energy efficiency in these facilities. Modern high-speed digital variable air volume valves, combined with demand-based control systems, allow laboratory design teams to reduce energy demand by 25–50%. Investing in the right technologies today can yield substantial returns, with every dollar spent, potentially generating three or more dollars in savings.

Agenda:

• Introduction to I2SL and Laboratory Benchmarking – John Penny Project Management and Engineering Design at Viscon Systems
• Laboratory Air Control Systems (LACS) – John Penny Project Management and Engineering Design at Viscon Systems
• Air Quality Management Systems (AQMS) – Matt Irlam, Project Manager at AirCon Serve

This technical presentation is presented and sponsored by AirCon Serve and Viscon Systems.
