Caltech Beckman Institute Professor Siapas Laboratory
Project Description This project was a small, but highly complex laboratory that includes a clean room with a fume hood, a histology lab with fume hood, sensitive recording rooms, and a server room with high-density computers and self-contained chilled water server/racks. The laboratory also includes laboratory fume controls, (7) tight-tolerance temperature/pressure control zones, humidification, occupied/unoccupied controls to reduce the air flow rates and energy usage during unoccupied periods. The plumbing system includes process utilities including DI water, natural gas, vacuum, high-pressure air, laboratory air, acid waste and vent, industrial cold water, steam and condensate return piping, domestic cold water, sanitary waste and vent, and industrial waste.
