AI for Laboratory Construction
AI for laboratory and research facility construction.
Definition
AI for laboratory construction addresses the specialized requirements of research and laboratory facilities. AI can help with fume hood coordination, cleanroom design, and laboratory-specific MEP systems. This improves laboratory project delivery.
In Depth
Laboratory construction involves specialized mechanical systems (fume hoods, exhaust systems, compressed gases), chemical-resistant finishes, and environmental controls that require careful coordination between the architect, mechanical engineer, and laboratory planner. AI assists with the complex HVAC coordination and the equipment utility requirements.
The mechanical coordination for laboratories is intense because each fume hood requires its own exhaust connection, each piece of equipment requires specific utilities (gas, water, vacuum, electrical), and the room pressure must remain negative relative to corridors under all operating conditions. AI verifies that the mechanical design accommodates all of these requirements and that the specified exhaust capacity matches the actual hood and equipment load.
