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

– Occupancy sensors to adjust ventilation based on lab activity

– Modifications to allow lower face velocities and/or lower sash opening heights

– Time-based control systems to manage ventilation schedules

– Energy-efficient fan upgrades and inverter drives

– Room controllers and Integration with Building Management Systems (BMS)

– All products can be retro-fitted to existing fume cupboards and extract systems.
