How making things bigger, growing operations tends toward greater economic efficiency.

Internal windows will be needed in labs with dangerous atmospheres to ensure line of sight for occupant safety, which will further impact the below ceiling coordination.While external windows will need to be maintained to introduce daylight, this can lead to solar heat gains.

Blinds can be used but they can trap dirt, so we will place them between secondary glazing.Alternatively, we use solar film and external blinds, and if possible, design the building so the lab is north-facing..In our experience, most of the issues with a laboratory design stem from the client laboratory equipment list.

It could be it lacks definition, keeps changing, contains unknown elements or assumptions, or is poorly set up and kept.A successful lab must be designed with heavy involvement from the client and user team to remove all doubts and uncertainties.

Therefore, we allow for many meetings, and keep detailed notes.

We make sure that the processes are understood by the entire team so the functional spaces can be determined to enable flow and adjacency diagrams to be created.Kätelhön, Arne, et al, "Climate change mitigation potential of Carbon Capture and utilization in the chemical industry.".
