Energy Efficiency and Load Management
Load management can have significant impacts on a laboratory's energy efficiency. The greatest efficiency and economic impact can result from evaluation of the timing of the laboratory's peak process load. New considerations are being given to managing a facility's load by controlling the ventilation rate on demand. Researchers who use a laboratory must also be made to realize that their impact on energy consumption is the "final word" on how well an expensive and sophisticated HVAC system will perform.
