Laboratories are among the most energy-intensive building types, with ventilation systems accounting for a large share of their overall consumption. In these environments, HVAC systems do more than provide comfort—they are critical to contamination control, air quality, and the overall safety of researchers. Ensuring these systems are designed, installed, and operated efficiently is central to creating sustainable, high-performing laboratories.
On November 17, 2026, Lab Design will host a virtual event on HVAC Design for a Sustainable Lab, part of the Lab Design Digital Conference series. This program will help project teams and architects understand the latest strategies for integrating efficient HVAC systems into new construction and renovation projects, while balancing safety and sustainability. Lab managers, researchers, and end users will learn what questions to ask when evaluating systems to ensure reliability, ease of operation, and long-term performance. Vendors and technology providers will gain insight into the priorities of planning teams and lab users, including the need for energy savings, adaptability, and effective monitoring tools.
Sessions will highlight the financial benefits of sustainable lab practices, explore new technologies in HVAC design and remote monitoring, and provide practical guidance for improving energy efficiency without compromising safety. Each presentation will give attendees the opportunity to engage directly with experts and gather advice for their own projects.
Participation is free, and attendees can join live or access the program on demand with a single registration.
The webinars in the Lab Design Digital Conference series are free to attend live and/or on demand. Select sessions will be available for AIA continuing education credit.
