The Impact: <p>Reduce energy use</p>
Details
Heating, Air Conditioning and Ventilation (HVAC) systems are often the largest energy consumer in lab settings. Setting appropriate temperatures in imaging facility equipment rooms can significantly reduce energy use from cooling and air conditioning.
By focusing on temperature stability and suitability for the installed equipment—rather than fixed setpoints—facilities can support reliable instrument performance while avoiding unnecessary overcooling, taking into account building characteristics and shared infrastructure constraints.
