Energy-Saving Advice
Smarter Fume Cupboard Control for Lower Energy and Reduced Running Costs
Maximise Safety – Minimise Energy
Fume cupboards are essential for lab safety, but they can be some of the most energy-intensive pieces of equipment. At Fumair, we offer tailored energy-saving advice and consultations to help you reduce energy consumption, cut costs, and improve airflow control — without compromising safety or compliance.
Energy Consultation Process
1. Site Survey: We assess your current systems, controls, and energy usage patterns.
2. Analysis & Recommendations: We identify opportunities to reduce energy use — such as VAV retrofits, occupancy sensors, sash monitors, and BMS integration.
3. Upgrade Planning: We outline the technical steps for the upgrades and coordinate timing with your team to minimise disruption.
4. Upgrade Implementation: Our engineers carry out system improvements safely and efficiently.
Follow-Up & Reporting: We monitor performance and provide post-installation support and documentation.
Energy-Saving Options & Upgrades
We offer a wide range of upgrades to improve the energy efficiency of your fume cupboards and lab ventilation systems:
– Variable Air Volume (VAV) controls
