Forum G: Operating and maintenance cost savings through more innovative design

Lower-cost operations, energy use reduction, sustainable design. To lower operating, lifecycle and maintenance costs, make the right decisions on lab flexibility, water and energy conservation opportunities, and your overall sustainability strategy. Attend this session to benchmark against the 18,000-sm, 80-fume-hood McGill Life Sciences Complex (Bellini Pavilion and Cancer Pavilion). You’ll learn solutions for achieving big savings on facilities management costs. Here, session leaders reveal the performance results from decisions on open-plan labs, equipment isolation in core zones, water consumption, air change rates, heat recovery, exhaust airflow reduction, radiant heating panels, and green roofing.
