Hutchison Hall Gets new Organic Chemistry Teaching Lab

Friday, September 30, 2011

Rochester University

The University has created exciting new laboratory space in the Chemistry Department to teach organic chemistry this fall. An especially novel feature of the new lab is the incorporation of designed discussion space within the lab. The space will be used to facilitate collaborative, students discussions on the planning, execution, and analysis of experiments. The new lab is equipped with modern chemistry instrumentation, including a capillary gas chromatograph and two Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometers. The lab was specifically designed and equipped to streamline workflow, allowing students to spend their time in lab more productively.

A Breath of Fresh Air in Butler University's Gallahue Science Labs

Friday, August 05, 2011

Butler University is spending nearly $2 million this summer to outfit most science labs in Gallahue Hall with high-tech ductless green hoods that pull in chemical odors, scrub the air and recycle clean air back into the classroom.

The ductless hoods, which hang over the workspaces like air vents in kitchens or sneeze guards over a food serving line but recycle the air rather than vent it out of the building, will result in cleaner air in the labs and significant energy cost savings, Chemistry Department Chair Stacy O’Reilly said.

Filtering Hoods

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

By James Blount, AIA, LEED AP

For centuries inventors, researchers and scientists have been exhausting smoke, chemical fumes and other hazardous materials into the atmosphere with little concern for health, environment, or energy costs.

During the past two decades, this practice has become a major focus for building owners, scientists, lab designers, and the fume hood industry, with increased anxiety over the health and safety of laboratory workers, the impact on the environment, and escalating energy costs. Until fairly recently, many fume hoods offered little in the way of energy efficiency. For years, the basic objective of the fume hood was to capture, contain, and exhaust hazardous vapors and particulates away from the laboratory environment.

The Green Solution Hood Cuts Fume Hood Energy Consumption by 96%

Friday, March 05, 2010

Muskegon manufacturer introduces an eco-friendly fume hood that surpasses safety requirements and operates at a fraction of the cost of traditional hoods.

Muskegon, Michigan August, 2009 -- The Solution Fume Hood available through Air Master Systems Corp. operates using 4% of the energy required by standard exhaust fume hoods and can be installed anywhere at anytime. Estimated to cut energy costs by 96% and reduce operating cost by 70%, the Solution Hood is ecologically friendly, saves energy, resources and money.

Fume hoods used in laboratory settings are designed to exhaust or filter out toxic and hazardous fumes, particulates, and gases. They are essential for laboratories in many markets including industrial, research and development, clinical healthcare and education. Until now, their use and installation has been costly and cumbersome.
