The Laboratory “fumehoodis stupidus” Laboratory Building Type Behavioral Characteristics: 40-70% fume hood dominated More evenly distributed loads beyond fume hood Equipment barriers to efficiency Changing Behavior with Technology!

13. AASHE CONFERENCE 2008 | BNIM Architects | people. innovation. design. PASSIVE SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES Orientation is harvests daylight and reduces undesirable heat gain Building is organized by use as specific species depending upon internal programmatic space needs High Performance Building Envelope Solar Shading utilized on all exposures Day Lighting and Task Lighting Lab and office wings optimized for volume and daylight Office wing is shaded by armature designed for future photovoltaic panels Egress stairs are non conditioned and shaded by terra cotta lattice

14. AASHE CONFERENCE 2008 | BNIM Architects | people. innovation. design. ACTIVE SUSTAINABLE STRATEGIES proximity sensors at fume hoods and bio safety cabinets that control VAV exhaust daylight and motion sensors and abundant natural light Under-floor air in offices low pressure drop cooling and heating coils low velocity ducts (1,200 FPM) to reduce pressure drop phase change sensible heat recovery from lab exhaust air (preconditions fresh air intake) atrium tempered with office return air office return air introduced into outside incoming air stream via atrium wrap around heat recovery to dehumidify the auditorium fresh air intake evaporative spray coolers using condensate water on the refrigerant heat recovery in lab air handlers to improve performance during cooling season
