Article: Optimizing Lab Safety and Sustainability

A better alternative to prescriptive ACH rates has been gaining traction—one that reduces cost and carbon emissions while improving safety by dynamically controlling ACH rates based on accurate real-time measurement of air quality. This article aims to demystify prescriptive vs. manual approaches to lab safety via a data-driven, actively managed lab EH&S program.

Zaretsky Engineering Solutions serves southern California and has worked with numerous customers in the higher ed, healthcare and commercial office markets. Notably they serve University of California, Irvine and are very familiar with UCI's Smart Labs program.

Recently Associate Chancellor—Sustainability at UCI, Wendell Brase, shared, "If you are planning the electrification of your laboratory buildings, you may want to scope the service capacity and costs for infrastructure and upstream components to service your lab buildings after determining the loads post-Smart Labs which, based on our experience, could be 50-80 percent lower than existing (>50% reductions pertain especially to lab building retrofits that included VAV or CV conversion as well as the ensemble of Smart Lab features)."
