Presented by an architect and engineer, this webinar will help attendees gain knowledge on both aspects of the design process and how they work together to design around the complexities and lessons learned on completed projects. | ![OnDemand Video Icon](https://go.labmanager.com/hs-fs/hubfs/LabManager/Webinars/Registration%20Pages/OnDemand%20Video%20Icon.png?width=50&name=OnDemand%20Video%20Icon.png) | **Available On Demand Now** | | --- | --- | Speakers ![Sam Reed.jpg](https://go.labmanager.com/hubfs/LabManager/Webinars/Registration%20Pages/2020-05-26%20Lab%20Ventilation/Sam%20Reed%20Hubspot%202.jpg "Sam Reed") Sam Reed, PE Chief Strategy Officer BSA LifeStructures ![James Hill.jpg](https://go.labmanager.com/hubfs/LabManager/Webinars/Registration%20Pages/2020-05-26%20Lab%20Ventilation/James%20Hill%20Hubspot%202.jpg "James Hill") James Hill, AIA, NCARB, LEED AP BD+C Principal-in-Charge BSA LifeStructures **What defines a successful lab ventilation system?** - A system that maintains a clean, healthy work environment by removing hazardous airborne materials from the lab - A system that maintains comfortable temperatures - A system that operates quietly - A system that is reliable and dependable - A system that is flexible, with the ability to accommodate lab changes - A system that is easily maintained by the facility maintenance staff **What does your mechanical engineer need to know and understand about your lab?** - Is the lab required to operate at a biosafety level 1, 2, 3, or 4? - Does the lab require fume hoods? If so, explain the need for fume hoods and how they are used - Is there any equipment that needs exhaust? - Are there any procedures, not performed in fume hoods, that need exhaust? - What chemicals are being used and where are they stored? **What do you, the lab manager, need to know and understand about ventilation systems?** - Minimum air change rates in laboratories - Room pressurization—positive vs negative - Ventilation vs cooling needs - Local and national standards, regulations, and codes **How can the lab design facilitate better ventilation results?** - Fume hood location - Traffic patterns - Chemical storage - Equipment location **Who else needs to be involved in your lab design project?** - Facility manager - Facility maintenance staff - Environmental health & safety staff # Register Now for the On Demand Webinar ### Lab Ventilation Webinar Registration You must have Javascript and Cookies enabled to access this webcast.
