- Title
Raising the Bar in High Performance Laboratory Design.
- Authors
SCOTT, JEFFERY M.
- Abstract
Laboratory facilities are expensive to build (as much as $1,100/ft2 [$11,840/m2]), operate and maintain, and they consume energy at high rates compared to other types of buildings. In addition, modifications are frequently required because of ever-changing research needs and activities. The in-house design team at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) sought ways to address these issues in the design and construction of a 14,700 ft2 (1366 m2) wet chemistry research facility on its Richland, Wash., campus. Specific goals were reducing energy consumption, improving maintenance and operations to reduce life-cycle costs and incorporating inherently fl exible features to accommodate future modifications at a lower cost and reduced impact on an operating facility.
