fume hood laboratory

 

More than 500,000 fume hoods are used in the United States by high-tech industries, hospitals, universities, and research facilities to help keep workers safe; but the devices can use a lot of energy-a single fume hood running 24 hours per day uses as much energy as three entire houses. New energy-efficient fume hood technology developed by DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory is expected to reduce the energy-intensive demands of laboratory ventilation systems. Berkeley Laboratory's promising new fume hood technology reduces airflow requirements by 50 to 70 percent while maintaining or even enhancing worker safety. The new technology has been demonstrated successfully in testing at Berkeley Laboratory and at the University of California, San Francisco's Department of Pathology.


Berkeley Laboratory researchers estimate that the new technology could save 8,000 gigawatthours of electricity in the United States. The annual electricity cost savings per hood is about $2,100. "This invention improves user safety while reducing both energy use and the size of mechanical systems required to provide adequate heating, ventilation, and cooling," said Berkeley Laboratory's Dale Sartor, one of the fume hood's developers and Heat of the Environmental Energy Technologies Division's Application Team.
