Reduce the carbon footprint of research facilities by incorporating natural ventilation. View this webcast to discover the challenges, strategies, and solutions implemented in the University of Washington's new 160,000 square foot Molecular Engineering Building to safely and effectively incorporate natural ventilation within the laboratory building. Webcast leaders discuss the ventilation strategies (bulk air flow models, wind tunnel analysis) and tools (Ecotect and eQuest) that were used to determine if natural ventilation meets the safety standards and program needs of building occupants. They detail the solutions implemented that yielded precise ventilation stack placement, aggressive heat gain reductions, and carefully considered window openings and connections between laboratory and office spaces.
