Laboratories Best Practices - Energy Recovery

Overview

Energy recovery can substantially reduce the mechanical heating and cooling requirements associated with conditioning ventilation air in most laboratories. Laboratories typically require 100% outside air at high ventilation rates, between 6 and 15 air changes per hour, primarily for safety reasons. The heating and cooling energy needed to condition this air, as well as the fan energy needed to move it, is 5 to 10 times greater than the amount of energy used in most offices for those purposes. Heating and cooling systems can be downsized when energy recovery is used, because energy recovery systems reduce peak heating and cooling requirements

In this course the student will learn to better understand heat recovery opportunities for laboratory buildings and some of the energy recovery system types available. In addition, the student will learn that installing energy recovery systems can substantially reduce the cost and use of energy in laboratories. Selecting an appropriate energy recovery technology, properly designing the system, meeting the applicable codes, and commissioning the system are all important. When an energy recovery system is design, installed and operated correctly it will provide significant energy and environmental benefits.

The student is expected to read and review the material contained in the Laboratories For The 21st Century: Best Practices – Energy Recover For Ventilation Air In Laboratories, DOE/GO-102003-1774 October 2003.

The student must take a multiple-choice quiz consisting of ten (10) questions at the end of this course to obtain 1 PDH credit.
