An Owner’s Journey: High efficiency Fume Hoods – Great for Sustainability but are they all Safe?
Fume hoods have long been recognized as some of the greatest energy consumers in modern research buildings. They require significant energy to individually operate and demand greater HVAC needs from a building through exhausting of conditioned air. Classically, prescriptive minimums for fume hood face velocities were the standard, to ensure user safety. This approach has been viewed as unnecessarily wasteful and there has been a recent shift towards improving fume hood performance to bring face velocities down. This high efficiency approach to fume hood operation has proven successful from a sustainability perspective, but is the previous standard of safety being maintained?
Since 2014, the University of Toronto has installed hundreds of high-efficiency fume hoods in its research spaces. Each of these hoods has been rigorously evaluated for safety, where each must pass an ASHRAE…
