Air Flow Control:
Room supply and exhaust systems work together to
maintain desired air changes per hour and pressurization.
The APOGEE Building Automation System offers controls
packaged along with either of the leading airflow
technologies: Air Flow Terminals or Venturi Air Valves.
Air Flow Terminals are industrial-grade, airflow measure-
ment and control terminal units. They are unique in that
they can operate at low pressure
and offer cost effective packaging
with attenuation and reheat coils.
Venturi Air Valves are pressure
independent control terminal units.
The Siemens’ Venturi Air Valve is
uniquely equipped with Siemens’
own air flow measuring solution.
Actual air flow measurement is
critical since air flow is directly
related to user safety.
Both technologies provide
fast acting, stable and precise
laboratory airflow control.

Exhaust System:
The exhaust system is a critical part of a lab area and is
unique compared to building systems in non-laboratory
a
reas. It must be designed with the capacity, air velocity,
and pressure to reliably collect and transport all hazardous
airborne substances (for example, fumes, flammable
vapors, airborne pathogens, airborne radioactive
particulate, etc.) from the room. The exhaust system
must also be designed to prevent re-entrainment and the
return of hazardous substances back into the facility.
Siemens exhaust terminals measure airflow using a unique
orifice plate that minimizes pressure loss while maintaining
measurement accuracy.
Wireless Solutions:
The flexibility of the APOGEE system offers
network solutions that are wired, wireless, or
a combination to best meet the needs of the
application and facility. Wireless solutions are
available for Fume Hood Control, Room
Control, and Critical Storage monitoring.
Critical Storage:
The APOGEE system provides the ability to monitor, alarm,
report and archive parameters of Critical Storage areas that
store vital products and materials. Monitoring possibilities
include NIST certified sensors and include both wired and
wireless alternatives. Applications include temperature
and/or power data for refrigerators, freezers (low and
ultra-low), incubators, storage areas, etc.
Security Solutions:
Siemens offers comprehensive security solutions
composed of people, processes and technology.
Solutions are designed to adapt as the facilities'
needs evolve and include access control, surveil-
lance systems, intrusion detection and perimeter
protection systems. As the largest security
systems integrator in the US, Siemens provides
cost-effective solutions that will allow you to
remain safe and see your businesses thrive.
Fire/Life Safety Solutions:
Siemens solutions include offerings for smoke and fire
detection, suppression, and annunciation. Coordination
with the laboratory room offers opportunities to automati-
cally start emergency purge or other pre-defined conditions
dependent on the specific contents of the room.
