ASHRAE Laboratory Design Guide Planning and Operation of Laboratory HVAC Systems 2nd Edition
ASHRAE Laboratory Design Guide : Planning and Operation of Laboratory HVAC Systems 2nd Edition is a comprehensive reference manual for the planning, design, and operation of laboratories. It gives engineers, owners, and system operators the design and control strategies they need to reduce the laboratory’s energy footprint while ensuring safety, providing good comfort and indoor air quality, and protecting the integrity of laboratory experiments.
ASHRAE Laboratory Design Guide is organized around a typical project, progressing through the basic steps of planning, design, construction, and operation and maintenance. It offers basic background information on laboratories, including their various types and the typical equipment found in them, to provide a basic understanding of laboratories and their importance as well as their different functions and needs.
