200% “…students learned twice

as much based on test

results as the students in

the traditional section…” Deslauriers , Schelew, and Wieman. (2011). “Improved learning in a large-enrollment physics class.” Science 332:862-864.”


Why is it important?

Increase learning

Improve test scores

Increase engagement

Attract & retain students

Increase student satisfaction



68% of survey respondents

indicate increased

interest in STEM career as

a result of undergraduate

research opportunities Science VOL 316 4/27/07 Benefits of Undergraduate Research Experiences - Susan H. Russell. Mary P. Hancock, James McCullough

What are the utilities and services that should be

provided?

QUALITY and VARIETY not QUANTITY are the

principal design criteria for utilities in the lab today.

Less non-potable more pure (RO vs. RODI)

More process water (some local some central)

Less (except for sterilizers can be local)

More N2, CO2, less natural gas (less central)

Clean Oil free

Some local some central

Clean / grounded

More localized

Less need

What are the metrics that allow for long term, robust

flexible utilities and services serving instruments and

equipment?

HVAC Design Capacity Criteria for Various Space Types

General Laboratories: 1 CFM/NSF (fume hood count dictates otherwise)

Organic teaching lab; 150 CFM/LF of fume hood

Biology (Gross Anatomy) Labs : 15 air Changes per hour

General Classrooms: 1 CFM/NSF

Energy Efficiency : Reducing Energy Use

• Variable Air Volume (reduces, cooling, and fan energy)

• Aggressive controls (reduces heating and cooling energy)

• Low pressure drop (air distribution system (reduces fan energy)

• Demand based air volume flow rate control

(reduces heating , cooling, and fan energy)

• Chilled beams (reduces cooling and fan energy)

• Heat recovery (reduces heating and cooling energy)



Conventional teaching lab building HVAC concept

• Dedicated lab system -

100% outdoor air

• Dedicated Admin/ • Classroom/Lecture Hall

system - 50% outdoor air

Single air system serves lab

and non-lab functions

• Greater flexibility for

modifications

• Reduced energy cost

• Higher quality environment

• Reduced first cost / less

equipment


Conventional Lab Building

HVAC Concept - Heat

Recovery Applied to Lab

Exhaust

• Heat Wheels

• Heat Pipe

• Glycol Run-around Loop


Create manifold serving lab and non-lab functions

• Provides higher degree

of redundancy


Services & Utilities

Mechanical Services Capacity Design Criteria

Steam

Primarily for autoclaves

1000 PPH per autoclave Total 1000 – 2000 PPH per 10,000 NSF

Circulating Chilled Water 30 to 40 Tons per 100,000 GSF

Process Chilled Water

Environmental rooms

5 – 10 GPM per environmental room

Lasers

5 – 10 GPM per laser Total 20 – 25 GPM per 10,000 NSF

Plumbing Services Capacity Design Criteria

Lab compressed air

1 CFM per outlet at 40 PSIG

100 – 120 PSIG system pressure

Some prefer gaseous nitrogen in lieu of compressed air

Lab vacuum

0.5 CFM per outlet at 19 in. Hg (482 Torr)

Central system will address acoustic issues

Pure water

0.25 gallons per day per student station

25 GPD per glass washer

Consider circulating RO water with local polishers


Electrical Services Capacity Design Criteria

Normal power

Receptacles: 5 – 15 Watts/NSF

(receptacles 24 – 36 inches on center at benches, grid of

floor outlets, and receptacles integrated into furniture )

Lab equipment: 2 – 3 Watts/NSF

(fume hoods and floor mounted equipment)

Emergency(Standby) power

Receptacles: 0.0 Watts/ NSF

Lab equipment: 0.0 to 0.7 Watts/ NSF

Technology 0.1 – 0.5 Watts/NSF
