HVAC In Laboratories Quality Operations Considerations
WEBINAR RECORDING
Considering the hazards users are exposed to in a laboratory, the air quality must be tightly controlled to avoid contamination. Heating ventilation air systems (HVAC) play a critical role in controlling the hazards posed to lab users and the lab environment. Design and operations of HVAC systems for laboratory, is an important factor in ensuring a safe environment.
This webinar will provide insight into the quality & operations considerations needed to assure a safe working environment in the lab.

– General lab: Based on hazards.[/boc_list_item][boc_list_item has_icon_color=”yes” icon_color=”#224a98″ icon=”icon icon-mail-forward”]Some time labs are designed with FCU’s. Is it ok or need AHU only?
AHU is recommended.[/boc_list_item]
