==== Fume hoods ====

Presumably the major contributor to this high energy consumption are [[fume hood]]s.<ref name=":1" /> Significant impact can be achieved by keeping the opening height as low as possible when working and keeping them closed when not in use. One possibility to help with this, could be to install automatic systems, which close the hoods after an inactivity period of a certain length and turn off the lights as well. So the flow can be regulated better and is not unnecessarily kept at a very high level.
