Laboratories

Laboratories handle chemicals, samples and sometimes biological material, often all in the same building. The ventilation has to protect the people working there, protect the samples and stop contaminants from reaching the rest of the facility.

What lab HVAC has to get right

• Fume hood performance: hoods only protect users when exhaust and supply air are properly balanced
• Room pressure: labs handling hazardous materials are usually kept at lower pressure than the corridors around them, while sterile or sensitive areas are kept higher
• Air changes: enough fresh air to dilute fumes and odours, without wasting energy on unused rooms
• Stable conditions: instruments, reagents and stability chambers depend on steady temperature and humidity
• Clean supply air for microbiology and instrument rooms

What we provide

• Fume hood exhaust systems, fans and stacks
• Supply air handling with the right level of filtration
• Pressure cascade design and room pressure monitoring
• Scrubbers for corrosive exhaust where needed
• Humidity control for sensitive rooms
• Testing and balancing so every hood and room performs as designed

We work on quality control labs in manufacturing plants, R&D centres, hospital and diagnostic labs, and educational institutions.
