Laboratories Best Practices - Modeling Exhaust Dispersion

Overview

Studies have shown a direct relationship between indoor air quality and the health and productivity of building occupants. Historically, the study and protection of indoor air quality has focused on emission sources emanating from within the building including laboratories. Emissions from external sources, which may be re-ingested into the building through closed circuiting between the building’s exhaust stacks and air intakes, are an often overlooked aspect of indoor air quality.

In this course the student will gain an understanding that an accurate assessment of exhaust dispersion can be used to produce exhaust/intake designs optimized for energy consumption. No matter what type of exhaust system is used, the important design parameters are physical stack height, volume flow rate, exit velocity, expected pollutant emission rates, and concentration levels at sensitive locations.

The student is expected to read and review the material contained in the Laboratories For The 21st Century: Best Practices – Modeling Exhaust Dispersion Fro Specifying Acceptable Exhaust/Intake Designs, DOE/GO-1-2005-2104, May 2005.

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