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maintenance budget, and the barriers to progress may seem insurmountable: old technology, complicated monitoring and outdated controls, design mismatch, air quality issues, grumpy and unpredictable scientists and professors, constant training and data analysis.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.
