High Energy Lab Building Alert: How to Manage Your Costs and Carbon Emissions with Advanced Technology

EXPERT QUOTE: “The pressure on building owners and operators to reduce GHG emissions and shift towards electrification is growing. Research labs and pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities have very high energy intensities due to the number of air changes per hour required for a safe and productive environment. Couple this with rising energy costs and the cost of decarbonization, operating costs are expected to raise even higher for these types of facilities. While new technology applications under development will mitigate some of these increased costs, the largest reductions in operating costs and GHG emissions can be achieved through tried-and-true energy conservation. A simple air change rate imbalance can cost tens of thousands of dollars in a single month. We use FacilityConneX to identify opportunities to reduce energy costs and GHG emissions while also improving safety in both existing buildings as well as new construction.” Paul Banks, Principal, B2Q Associates.   Read the article on how monitoring-based commissioning helps Lab and Data Center Buildings…  High Energy Building Story-2022-040501
