It’s not unusual to have an extremely busy ceiling void, so it is important to start with the drainage and then the ventilation.We have to bear in mind the coordination below the ceiling too, with dropping services, wall-mounted isolation and panels, shut-off valves and emergency stop buttons, all competing for space on the walls.
Internal windows will be needed in labs with dangerous atmospheres to ensure line of sight for occupant safety, which will further impact the below ceiling coordination.While external windows will need to be maintained to introduce daylight, this can lead to solar heat gains.Blinds can be used but they can trap dirt, so we will place them between secondary glazing.
Alternatively, we use solar film and external blinds, and if possible, design the building so the lab is north-facing..In our experience, most of the issues with a laboratory design stem from the client laboratory equipment list.
It could be it lacks definition, keeps changing, contains unknown elements or assumptions, or is poorly set up and kept.
A successful lab must be designed with heavy involvement from the client and user team to remove all doubts and uncertainties.On top of this, other practical constraints include social acceptance of greener methods, including electricity capacity.
governmental support and policy inclusion, and for uptake in relevant sectors and industries, such as industrial plastic production.C. ontinued research into these technologies, alongside more evidence of cost benefits, may help in incentivising industries to adopt these technologies.. Energy Efficient Plastic Production: It’s a Team Effort.
It is not only the reduction in GHG emissions that we need to focus on for CCU to impact the production process most efficiently.The improvement in producing ‘green hydrogen’ through the electrolysis of water is helping increase the benefits of CCU by reducing the industry’s demand for electricity in producing some chemicals.
