Reply To: Air conditioning in labs

Hi Brian,

At loyalist the oldest kitchen has cooling fed from our Supply Fan & Chiller. The MUA does not have AC, only heat. It bring in a significant amount of outside air so if it is warm outside, it does tend to get warm in the kitchen. The new lab kitchen set to open next month has its own AC. We expect it to be much cooler and climate controlled. Welding, Manufacturing/Fabrication, Automotive and Carpentry do not have AC. They tend to open the large bay door for cooler outside air which is sometimes very warm and humid. The Auto shop installed 2 “Big Ass” fans that are over 16′ diameter that move a lot of air. In 2019, we did run a carpentry course outside over the winter months. They did not have any heating.

Hope this is useful.

Chris.
