How to Get the Highest Energy Savings in your Laboratory with a Fume Hood Retrofit Kit
Nicole Kelesoglu Comment
Nicole Kelesoglu Comment

Did you know that one laboratory fume hood uses as much energy in a year, as three average U.S. homes combined? Approximately 60% of laboratory energy bills go to HVAC systems that compensate for fume hoods..  Improvements to fume hoods represent a gigantic, green potential for cost savings in laboratory sustainability initiatives. This blog post is meant to explain how to get the best return on investment in your specific laboratory setting.
