you can model variable hood exhaust and allow for energy recovery is to use a

combination with MIN-FLOW-SCH at the zone level, provided your system is VAV. I
would add total system supply flow and O/A percentage to your hourly reports,

style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D'>I’d like to add to Vikram’s
comment about CAV hoods. I’d encourage you to advocate for VAV
hoods if the zone’s hood CFM is 2ACH or greater. There has been a
lot of progress in recent years in working towards lower occupied and
unoccupied ACH minimums, and 2 ACH may be within reason for many clients in the
coming years. If VAV hoods are in place, and the capabilities of the air
valves allow, the system would be able to turn down to a lower ACH minimum and
garner your client savings.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

style='color:#0000B4'>In eQUEST v3.63 and above you can specify airflow
tracking for exhaust air streams on a thermal zone basis – there’s
a good help section on what the different tracking options do. It’s my
understanding that this was put in specifically for fumehoods. Set your max

style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#0000B4'>One thing you might want to check up on
is the fumehood density. If the lab is very fumehood intensive, then it might make
sense to go with the VAV hoods. However, if it’s a ventilation driven lab
(as opposed to an exhaust driven lab), you might as well have constant volume
hoods. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color="#0000b4" face=Calibri><span
style='font-size:11.0pt;color:#0000B4'>For instance, if your EHS requires 6 air
changes per hour in a 10 foot high 10,000ft2 lab, your supply cfm = 10,000 cfm.
Lets say you have 10 x 6’ wide fumehoods with 800cfm at max sash height
(18”). That would give you 8,000 cfm. So having VAV controls on the hoods
is not going to reduce your airflow unless you ramp down to below 5ACH during
unoccupied hours. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
