Training: Fume Hood Management, Maintenance & Testing

This in-depth two-day course will provide attendees with the ability to analyze fume hood operation and conduct appropriate tests for VAV and CAV systems as described in the ANSI/ASHRAE Standard 110-2016 “Methods of Testing Performance of Laboratory Fume Hoods”. The course is comprised of both classroom lectures and hands-on lab sessions for combining theoretical and practical knowledge. Laboratory sessions include conducting a series of fume hood operational and performance tests in addition to diagnosing hood performance issues when subject to common challenges.

Topics covered include:
