Abstract

At the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, Cornell University depopulated its main campus and instructed laboratories to temporarily cease lab work. This presented the opportunity to shut off fume hoods to save energy. What was anticipated to be highly successful showed the need for improvements in methods. This paper offers steps for fume hood hibernation and system design elements that will allow for efficient shutdown that will make the hood hibernation program more effective.
