Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Proven and tested guidelines for designing ideal labs for scientific investigations
Now in its Fourth Edition, Guidelines for Laboratory Design continues to enable readers to design labs that make it possible to conduct scientific investigations in a safe and healthy environment. The book brings together all the professionals who are critical to a successful lab design, discussing the roles of architects, engineers, health and safety professionals, and laboratory researchers. It provides the design team with the information needed to ask the right questions and then determine the best design, while complying with current regulations and best practices. Guidelines for Laboratory Design features concise, straightforward advice organized in an easy-to-use format that facilitates the design of safe, efficient laboratories. Divided into five sections, the book records some of the most important discoveries and achievements in:
The final part of the book features five appendices filled with commonly needed data and reference materials. This Fourth Edition is indispensable for all laboratory design teams, whether constructing a new laboratory or renovating an old facility to meet new objectives. Synopsis:The new edition of this book addresses the many changes in laboratory design since the previous edition was published in 2001. It focuses on advances in environmental design and green laboratories while bringing up to date all health and safety aspects of lab design. Features include a new section on sustainable design, new chapters on material sciences engineering and nanotechnology, plus major updates in the Animal Research and HVAC chapters. Architects, design and HVAC engineers, industrial hygienists, EHS professionals, and facilities managers will gain an important ally for their work.
Synopsis:Since the third edition of this book was published in 2001, significant changes have occurred in laboratory design criteria, including a push for green lab construction. This new, updated Fourth Edition focuses on environmental design issues along with the health and safety considerations addressed in previous editions. It also includes a new section on sustainable labs, new chapters on material sciences engineering and nanotechnology, and major updates in the animal research and HVAC chapters. New regulations and references are included, providing up-to-date information on the health and safety aspects of laboratory design.
