At this month’s Tradeline: Animal Research Facilities conference in Washington, D.C., be sure to add Jeff Zynda and Tim Sweeney’s presentation, Best-In-Class Strategies to Reduce Energy Consumption and Operational Costs to your schedule.
To reduce energy and labor costs – the two biggest operating expenses that animal facility owners will be paying for decades – forward-looking decisions need to be made during facility design and upgrade planning stages. Tim Sweeney and Jeff Zynda illustrate project management best practices that bring operational cost issues to the forefront of the design process and clarify the effects that first-cost decisions have on long-term vivarium financial sustainability. They demonstrate life cycle cost modeling techniques for animal laboratory and process equipment, maintenance, and HVAC systems. They also examine the use of smart technologies and automation to further reduce operational costs.
