The
generosity and vision of two cancer survivors is
driving the development of this world-class laboratory
and research campus. When complete, the 10-acre
site will include 600,000 square foot of laboratory
and support space, including a vivarium with one
of the few automated cage wash systems in the U.S.

The
airflow equipment selected to control the fume hoods
for this winning project include 95 hood monitors,
each with a face velocity display. Phoenix also controls
the ventilation for the laboratory animal facility. |

Controls would like to congratulate all the winners
of the 2001 ASHRAE technology awards with special
thanks to Roland Charneux and Peter A. Potvin for
choosing our system for their project. |
First
Place: Roland Charneux, President Kennedy Building
Université du Québec a Montréal |
The
Université du Québec à Montréal’s new President Kennedy
Building is a 400,000 ft2 (37 161 m2)
facility that contains both wet laboratories and dry
laboratories. Because of the different activities
occurring, designers combined a dedicated system and
a centralized system.
The use of a dual duct, dual fan system provides both
makeup air and climate control for the entire building
while keeping 100% exhaust of VAV supplied air in
labs. This duct system serving both lab and non-lab
areas allowed for a 30% reduction of outside air demand
and an increase of the outside air ratio in the system
to 35%.

Mention: Peter A. Potvin, principal, LKPB Engineers

Saving
energy and preserving the environment were top concerns
in designing the St. John’s University Science Building
in Minnesota. Strategies used to accomplish a reduction
in energy consumption were heat recovery and exhaust
air management.
Heat recovery in the facility was reached with a stainless
steel air-to-air exchanger using building exhaust
air to preheat and precool the outdoor air. A central
exhaust fan design allows almost all exhaust from
the building to be used in heat recovery.
Airflow is minimized by using sash sensors on the
hoods to detect the position of the sash. The building
contains a single exhaust fan (along with a radioactive
isotope hood) to simplify the control and amount of
equipment to maintain.
CSNA Architects completed this project in association
with Rafferty Rafferty Tollefson architects and LKPB,
the mechanical/electrical engineer, all of which are
in St. Paul Minnesota.

Fume
hood controls furnished by Phoenix Controls were
the single-most important element to the success
of the project. Other issues were manifolded exhaust
and energy efficiency.
