Offer a lower total cost to the owner by:

• Decreasing HVAC costs (Division 23),

• While also increasing your portion (Division 11).

• And lower annual operating costs!

Page 49: Filtered Fume Hoods, a Re-Introduction › wp-content › uploads › ... · Aptar Best Life Pharmanaturals Cornell Equine Drug lab Covidien Ethypharm Gentec GSK Hanseler Nihon Generic

Lessons Learned• Would use filtering fume hoods again!

• Would like more walking space between benches (narrow them by 6” each).

• Students are on stools (not standing) and it is difficult to walk down the aisle.

• The renovation project happened so fast there wasn’t time to explore options.

• Open storage cubbies keep backpacks off the floor, avoids tripping hazard.

Page 50: Filtered Fume Hoods, a Re-Introduction › wp-content › uploads › ... · Aptar Best Life Pharmanaturals Cornell Equine Drug lab Covidien Ethypharm Gentec GSK Hanseler Nihon Generic

Lessons Learned (cont.)

• More student enrollment than planned: from 300 to 425; a 42% increase!

• More faculty than planned: from 5 to 16; a 300% increase!

• Dispensing hoods could have been ducted thereby also providing the ventilation air to the lab. Regardless, filters have lasted longer than expected.

Page 51: Filtered Fume Hoods, a Re-Introduction › wp-content › uploads › ... · Aptar Best Life Pharmanaturals Cornell Equine Drug lab Covidien Ethypharm Gentec GSK Hanseler Nihon Generic

Conclusions• Continues to achieve all goals

• Filters lasted longer than expected

• "Would do it again”

Next Steps

• Renovation of therest of the building!

• Russ Ellis, M. Sc. – Lab Coordinator, Integrated Science Program

• “The GFH’s serve our needs incredibly well...”

• “Biggest battle was convincing Safety Dpt that GFH was as safe as traditional ducted hoods. We finally did convince them.”

• Face velocities are lower, not meeting McMaster’s standard of 100fpm.
