This presentation discusses how reducing air changes in laboratory spaces while maintaining indoor air quality can reduce energy usage. It examines guidelines for air exchange rates and factors to consider like safety, research protection, and comfort. Computational fluid dynamics and dynamic air monitoring can optimize airflow. Enthalpy wheels can recover energy while preventing cross-contamination per codes. Dilution assessments show contaminant carryover poses minimal health risks. Case studies demonstrate benefits of variable air changes, filtration, and temperature/particle control.

Workshop On Risk Assesment by Palash Ch DasPalash Das
Risk management principles are effectively utilized in many areas of business and government including finance, insurance, occupational safety, public health, pharmacovigilance, and by agencies regulating these industries. Although there are some examples of the use of quality risk management in the pharmaceutical industry today, they are limited and do not represent the full contributions that risk management has to offer. In addition, the importance of quality systems has been recognized in the pharmaceutical industry and it is becoming evident that quality risk management is a valuable component of an effective quality system.
This presentation is a talk given at the 14 November Philadelphia area AIChE meeting. Chemical engineers, especially those in the US, are increasingly being asked to develop incremental increases in plant capacity, say up to 20%. Many plants are now running at maximum capacity, yet tight capital funding and requirements for short payback periods make it difficult to have large investment for new, grassroots facilities. In some cases, engineers need to meet demand increments much less than the capacity of a new plant, while further demand growth is uncertain. The manufacturer must then choose the appropriate capacity increment, instead of overdesigning Debottlenecking projects are undertaken to deliver these capacity increases, by implementing select changes to specific parts of a plant to relieve restrictions. In this session, we will discuss tools and analyses for assessing the process bottlenecks. We will address means of debottlenecking numerous unit operations, while listing points often forgotten in such projects. Finally we will discuss how debottlenecking projects are different from conventional grass roots projects, while treating the practical aspects of how to manage such projects. A list of references is included for further, deeper study. Many of the facts and figures presented in the talk were taken from these references.
Key words:

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Function of the Purge Section
• Purge dirty air trapped in wheel media as it
rotates from the dirty to the clean airstream
• Purge angle adjustable and driven by the
pressure differential existing between the
outdoor air and return air streams
• Proper setting shown to limit carry-over to well
below .045% in actual field commissioning tests
19. Energy Wheels
Codes: Energy Wheels in Laboratories
NFPA 45 requires documentation (test data and field experience) that exhausted
contaminants are not transferred by the total energy recovery wheel.
“Devices that could result in recirculation of exhaust air or exhausted
contaminants shall not be used”
IBC 2006 and 2009
Laboratories are not considered hazardous exhaust systems if contaminants
are below 25% of flammability limit and below 1% medial lethal
concentration (lab assessment analysis)
Duct systems can be manifolded and wheels used if contaminants are not
recirculated
References 90.1 which recommends total energy (>50% total energy recovery)
20. ASHRAE Standard 62
Purpose:
To specify the minimum ventilation rates
and indoor air quality that will be
acceptable to human occupants and are
intended to minimize the potential for
adverse health effects.
21. Energy Wheels
Codes: Energy Wheels in Laboratories
ASHRAE:
In a recent interpretation of ASHRAE 62.1-2007, has indicated that mandatory
section 5.16.3.4 “does not allow for recirculation of any amount of Class 4 air nor
does it allow the use of heat recovery equipment which will result in recirculation of
Class 4 air via leakage, carryover or transfer from the exhaust side of the system.
It is possible to install heat recovery equipment, such as run-around loops, heat
pipes or impermeable, plate-type heat exchangers, which will allow heat recovery
from the Class 4 exhaust airstream while preventing cross-contaminated flow.”
22. Energy Wheels
Codes: Energy Wheels in Laboratories
ASHRAE
Fume hood exhaust air is generally classified as Class 4 air by ASHRAE 62.1-
2007. Since this section is a mandatory requirement of ASHRAE 62.1-2007,
non-compliance would mean that the design does not meet the LEED
prerequisite for compliance with ASHRAE 62.1-2007 which means the project
could NOT be LEED certified. Project design teams will need to indicate how
they will address compliance with ASHRAE 62.1-2007 while taking manifold
fume hood exhaust air through proposed enthalpy wheels.
23. Energy Wheels
Codes: Energy Wheels in Laboratories
ASHRAE
At a minimum the mechanical code identifies certain hazards that cannot be
connected to a manifold exhaust system and at minimum these should be
separated from the enthalpy wheel exhaust system. In addition, technical data
reports “virtually no cross-contamination (independently certified to be less than
0.04 percent)” should be provided for EHS records. This should be requested from
all potential vendors or specification should be limited to vendors meeting the
agreed upon criteria and provided to EHS for review.
24. Design Process
Critical Duty Project Design Process
•Labs are not all the same – evaluate the purpose of the facility and
establish an initial design approach
•Complete a full Risk Assessment Analysis involving the Health and
Safety officers
•Provide independent carry-over test data for use by owner and
code authorities
•Complete accurate full benefit and life cycle cost analysis,
highlighting both energy savings, chiller – boiler impact and carbon
footprint
•Provide a critical duty wheel designed specifically for laboratory
environments – limit contaminant carry-over, corrosion resistance,
antimicrobial surface, anti-stick, etc.
25. Design Process
Critical Duty Project Design Process (continued)
•Provide experienced startup to review installation, airflows,
pressures, purge settings, etc.
•Coordinate SF6 testing and commissioning report after final air
balancing but prior to occupancy
•Complete real time contaminant testing (TVOC) and
commissioning report after occupancy and use of facility to
document wheel performance
•Monitor system performance, pressures, flows and purge
performance (HSM) and alarm if problem with system
•Trend energy savings over time and highlight benefits provided
with owner and designer

Bldg X Low Flow (60 CFM/LF) 540 8 68
Bldg Y Low Flow (60 CFM/LF) 740 8 93
30. Dilution Assessment
Findings:
Under this worst case spill scenario, none of the chemicals listed
would be introduced to the space at more than 6% of the threshold
limit value allowable (exposure thought to be safe to occupant - 8
hours per day, 5 days per week).
As it relates to recent interpretations by ASHRAE, it is important to
point out that ASHRAE allows more than 10 times this amount, or
100% of the TLV to be re-entrained into the fresh air intake from the
exhaust fans during a spill event (Appendix F and AIHA/ANSI
Standard Z9.5).
31. Dilution Assessment
Findings:
None of the flags shown for the 5 chemicals listed in the summary
analysis represent a health risk.
All are shown for potential odor detection under the spill scenario.
The chemicals used for this analysis came from a listing of chemicals
not detected by a monitoring system, and don't appear to be
chemicals routinely used.
Of those listed as commonly used chemicals, none were flagged. In
addition, the materials with extremely low odor detection limits
shown - i.e. mercapatans - are used in very small quantities and will
not typically be available for spill in a 500 ml quantity.
32. Dilution Assessment
Findings:
Based on the analysis there is essentially no health risk shown.
During a worst case spill scenario, there will likely be a slight odor
detected in the supply air for a very short period.
It is also likely that there would be odor detected under this spill
scenario due to the re-entrainment - even if the wheel were not to be
used.
36. Dynamic Air Monitoring
Health and Safety Monitor Capabilities
•Limit Carry-over in VAV, variable pressure environment optimizing
health and safety
•Real time performance monitoring and trending
•Real time energy savings and accumulation
•Real time airflow measurement
•Alarm if purge pressure is lost
•Greatly reduce fan horsepower use
•Automatically determines field purge setting
•Enhances Field commissioning
•Enhances Cross-contamination testing
•Remote monitoring
37. Filtration
