Laboratory Ventilation Systems Commissioning
Laboratory ventilation systems are very complex and thus require proper installation, setup, calibration and maintenance in order to function safely and efficiently. The commissioning process ensures that systems are operating as designed. Commissioning tests include:
- Validation of Proper Operation
- Proper Performance of Containment Devices
- Baseline Operational Data
- Methods to Ensure Dependable Operation
ANSI/ASHRAE 110 Performance Testing
These tests are conducted on chemical fume hoods and verify that the hood provides adequate containment at the designed sash opening area.
- Airflow Visualization
- Face Velocity Measurement
- Cross Draft Measurement
- Tracer Gas Containment
- Verification of Monitor Operation
- FAT (Factory Acceptance Testing)
- SAT (Site Acceptance Testing)
Routine Performance Testing
A basic service offered by ECT is testing of laboratory ventilation equipment. ECT has developed state of the art tools to deliver the most reliable and efficient hood testing services available.
- Chemical Fume Hoods and Laminar Flow Hoods

Energy Reduction - It's Easy Being Green...
The color today is green. However, long before green became the trend, ECT was leading the charge in reducing carbon emissions and energy consumption, while improving laboratory systems efficiency, productivity and safety. After years of experience and staying one step ahead of the "green wave", ECT has developed an exclusive and sustainable three-phase approach to safely reducing energy consumption.
