Lab Manager is dedicated to making sure that the experience of the Lab Design Digital Summit will reflect the quality and educational value of the original live conference planned for Atlanta. Join us on May 11-13 for a series of webinars led by top experts in the lab design/build community.

Allen Doyle

Operations Team Building for Energy Efficiency and Occupant Health

Time: 2:30 PM EDT

Speaker: Allen Doyle
(Principal)

Laboratory ventilation management is a many-headed monster that is expensive to feed and hard to discipline. Operations costs can be 25 percent or more of your client’s energy and maintenance budget, and the barriers to progress may seem insurmountable: old technology, complicated monitoring and outdated controls, design mismatch, air quality issues, grumpy and unpredictable scientists and professors, constant training and data analysis. Ventilation upgrades can run into the millions, and efficient lab ventilation is also the cornerstone of climate neutrality, a growing priority.

Lab Sustainability: Ten Things You Can Do Now for Big Impact

Time: 11:30 AM EDT

Speaker: Chris Ertl, AIA, LEED AP BD+

With limited resources and demands to do more with less, being more sustainable can seem out of reach. Upfront initial costs, and the fact that buildings will be occupied during any changes, can be a hindrance to many green efforts.

How can we be more creative in our science facilities? How can we do more science in less space? How can we reduce cost? Most of these answers come from common sense ideas, but sometimes you need to think outside the box to provide unique solutions.
