Face Velocity

Fume Hood Face Velocity & Airflow

Cimetrics identified fume hoods that have face velocities greater than the high limit threshold of 100fpm, which result in excess energy use, as well as face velocities below the low limit threshold of 80 fpm, which have safety implications.

Cimetrics also identified airflow setback opportunities to reduce energy use during unoccupied periods.
