Why is IPF installing the OptiNet system?
MSU’s Energy Transition Plan calls for aggressive investment in energy conservation measures and new technologies.
Improvements in building systems like this will allow the University to achieve a 20% reduction in energy consumption by the year 2020.

Why Focus on Laboratories?
A research building typically uses 5 to 10 times more energy than an office building.
Appropriate ventilation control can result in a 30 to 80% reduction in energy use.

Centralized Demand Controlled Ventilation
Integration of airflow systems with sophisticated occupancy and air-quality sensors.
• Real time air quality monitoring
• Sampled air analyzed for contaminants Sensor Suite
• Responsive Ventilation ACH setback based on occupancy ACH increase in response to
contaminants Varies from 4 ACH to 18 ACH

When there is a large chemical spill or hazardous release in the room…
•Press Room Purge Button•Exit Laboratory•Close Lab Doors•Call 911
Emergency Purge Ventilation Procedure
22
Lab Energy Management Michigan State University
Lynda Boomer, Michigan State University
Todd Wilson, Michigan State University 12
Activate the red emergency room purge button when there is a spill or hazardous release in the room.
Emergency Room Purge or Hood Purge?
Use hood purge button located on the fume hood monitor when there is a spill or release in the hood.
23
Maintain clear area around Emergency Room Purge button

Keep the sash closed as much as possible• Avoid raising sash above the arrow • Lower or close hood when not in active use. • Leaving the lab area? Close sash completely.
Safe Sustainable Lab Practices
25
Minimize openings on hoods with horizontal panes
Position the sash all the way down and slide panes to create as small an open area as practical.
Safe Sustainable Lab Practices
26

Keep doors and windows closed •This allows correct lab pressurization to be maintained. •Open doors or windows can impair air flow through the hood
Work with volatile carcinogens and toxics in hood
Proper use and storage of chemical
Safe Sustainable Lab Practices
27
Promotion & Awareness
Be Spartan Green Campaign• Website/Green Stories/Projects/Events/Community• Content driven by behavior team research & recommendations
• Energy Educators – How does my building work?
