Laboratory Sustainability Checklist.xlsx (helps designers review potential opportunities to include in the building design for enhancing the sustainability of a laboratory)
Lab Room Schedule - Sample.xls (allows engineers to schedule pertinent data for all room airflow control devices in one schedule along with room offset, minimum ventilation rate, and maximum cooling demand quantities)
DilutionCalc (.msi file) (calculates downwind dilutions/concentrations from an exhaust stack using the equations from Chapter 45 of ASHRAE Handbook—HVAC Applications)
Induced Flow Fan Testing.mp4 (119 MB) (shows operation of dilution fans as well as AMCA test methodology used to test and certify fan inlet airflows and total discharge airflows)
Fan Flow.avi (shows how air flows from the building and mixes with outdoor air as it flows through an in-line mixed-flow induced draft dilution fan; courtesy of Strobic Air Corporation)
Plume Caught in Upwind Taller Building’s Wake.avi (flow visualization)
Plume Impacting Downwind Taller Building.avi (flow visualization)
Room Data Sheets.pdf (examples showing how to gather the technical requirements of each space)
SEMCO_Heat_Wheel_Purge.exe (shows the principle of the purge in a sensible heat wheel; courtesy of SEMCO)
