On Demand Presentation: The Future of Lab Design: The Benefits and Long-term Value of Building Your Laboratory with Less to Get More with Filtration
Designing and constructing or renovating a modern chemistry laboratory with chemical fume hoods presents numerous challenges. One of the biggest challenges is designing for the fume hoods’ hazardous exhaust air and the required make-up air. This challenge can be drastically simplified, if not eliminated, with the use of filtered ductless fume hoods. What if the majority of that hazardous exhaust were eliminated with no negative impact on the teaching or research performed within the lab? What if we no longer polluted the environment and rather captured and retained the contaminants at their source? What if we could add multi-layers of safety reducing exposure limits wherever your science needed to take you while adding detection methods to ensure exposure risks are limited, all without being tethered to the building infrastructure?
View this special presentation from the 2024 Lab Design Conference, featuring Jesse Coiro and Tim Campbell of Erlab as they outline how all this becomes a reality with Erlab’s filtration solutions.

Using filtered ductless fume hoods provides a breath of fresh air (both figuratively and literally) for the design team, contractors, and lab occupants. During this session, the speakers detail some of the industry’s best practices for safely using filtered ductless fume hoods to achieve triple bottom-line goals including reduced environmental footprint, enhanced safety and flexibility, and first-cost and operating cost savings. Additionally, multiple national award-winning case studies are provided, detailing the results and value of using filtered ductless fume hoods instead of traditional polluting ducted fume hoods as well as how we can achieve success with a hybrid approach of ducted and ductless fume hoods.
Learning objectives:
Learn how to utilize filtered ductless fume hood technology to achieve a smaller environmental footprint in a laboratory facility
Discover the ways that filtered ductless fume hoods can benefit a lab's bottom-line goals
Discuss real-world results from lab design/build case studies and how they can be applied to other lab projects
Observe how the majority of hazardous exhaust can be eliminated using filtered ductless fume hoods, with no negative impact on the lab's research or teaching
The 2025 Lab Design Conference will be held in Denver, CO on May 11-14, featuring sessions focused on sustainable lab design, the future of technology such as AI and BIM, case studies of successful lab build/renovation projects, and more.
