Given the current federal funding environment, do you need to implement projects on your campus that deliver more immediate energy and operating cost savings with less capital outlay?
Laboratory research buildings have the highest operating costs on most campuses where 50% – 70% of the energy consumption is for ventilation alone. For over 30 years, 3Flow has been evaluating and implementing energy reduction measures in research buildings for clients across North America. The proven solutions we identify often do not require capital expenditures and are designed to provide faster savings with less effort and resources.
3Flow is comprised of industrial hygienists/lab safety experts and ventilation/mechanical engineering specialists with extensive experience in some of the world’s most prestigious laboratories. Our team is uniquely qualified to identify and implement energy reduction and cost savings measures while enhancing safety. Several 3Flow services and products can support these shorter-term initiatives including:
- Innovative Airflow Consulting Services – to evaluate risks and opportunities to reduce airflow safely
- Advanced Ventilation Testing Services – a series of novel diagnostic tests to evaluate lab ventilation in the fume hood and workspace and determine…”how low you can safely go”
- Fume Hood High Performance Upgrade – a patented and proven product to safely reduce airflow in the fume hood by 30%+ with a commensurate reduction in energy costs – potentially as much as $1,500 – $2,000 per year per fume hood
- Targeted Fume Hood/Lab Hibernation and Decommissioning – to identify underutilized devices and laboratories and minimize energy consumption, operating costs and waste
These solutions are best used together to provide clients with the confidence to determine how much, and where, airflow can be reduced safely to achieve energy reduction goals and initiatives.
