In addition to what Russ suggested – consider the following:
-
Position/use of equipment in the hood (blocking baffles, raising on legs, etc)
-
Body position and movement
-
Air flow in the room (supply, return, doors, windows)
Engineers are key players in designing ventilation solutions, so knowing the right place to locate a CFH in a space is critical to the overall success of building
ventilation.

Subject: [DCHAS-L] Fume Hood & Lab ventilation presentation for Engineering students - what would you include?
I have the opportunity to give a 1 hr presentation to the Engineering student section of ASHRAE that meets on our campus. I am going to talk about fume hoods & lab ventilation. I will give a short presentation and then take them to a lab
so they can test face velocity with my various Alnors.
I'm planning on including ASHRAE Industrial Ventilation, ANSI/AIHA Z9.5, SEFA-1, NFPA 45, Laboratory Fume Hoods by G. Thomas Saunders, and Laboratory Ventilation Work Book by D. Jeff Burton as resources..
As a chemical safety professional, what do you wish the graduating Engineering students knew about fume hoods and lab ventilation?
Thanks, as usual, for your input!
