Safe:

The safety of people and research is a primary concern in a laboratory environment. Siemens provides

safety using multiple systems that can be installed and operated together or individually.

• Proper laboratory room pressurization and ventilation control are absolute requirements for

maintaining the health, safety and well being of laboratory facility occupants.

• Securing laboratory areas with door access control prevents unauthorized entrance protecting both

the contents of the lab as well as keeping building occupants out of potentially dangerous areas.

• Fire and Life Safety control is designed to protect building occupants and the valuable contents in a

research facility.

Flexible:

Siemens offers the variety of solutions and expertise required to properly design, install, and maintain

laboratory systems. Siemens also customizes application solutions by working with engineers and

consultants to meet the ever changing technologies and needs in these specialized areas. Siemens can

provide the complete laboratory management system or only the parts needed to tie into an existing

building infrastructure through integration and the use of standard protocols.

Efficient:

Siemens experts can recommend a variety of strategies for the design and operation of efficient

laboratories. Strategies may include applying a VAV ventilation system which ensures that only the actual

amount of supply air needed is provided and conditioned. This provides a significant opportunity for a

facility to minimize energy usage.

Occupied/Unoccupied Modes can also be incorporated into the room control to vary ventilation while still

maintaining pressurization. A combination of strategies such as 2-Position Constant Volume fume hood

controls, IEQ (Indoor Environmental Quality) monitoring along with VAV room control provide options to

balance initial and operating costs.

Siemens is uniquely positioned to provide their own laboratory room level controls, gather the room level

data and incorporate it into building/system wide energy saving applications.
