The lab real estate market is changing. What does that mean for building operations? We took a look at some of the key trends from JLL's recent report and came up with a list of five things building owners and operators should be thinking about. https://lnkd.in/ed-8GuqE

The wildfire smoke reached my hometown of Philadelphia around 8:00 PM yesterday. This are a good reminder to ask a simple question: "How well is my building filtering outside air?" The graph below shows particle concentrations (0.3–0.5 µm) measured by an Aircuity system in a laboratory building. You can clearly see the outdoor smoke plume arrive around 8:00 PM, with particle levels increasing almost immediately. In this example, the Aircuity system would classify the rooms above the red arrow threshold as having elevated particle concentrations, providing facility teams with real-time visibility into changing air quality conditions. Whether you use Aircuity or another monitoring platform, wildfire smoke events are a valuable opportunity to: Verify that your filtration system is performing as expected. Confirm outside air intakes and building pressurization are operating properly. Identify spaces where occupants may be exposed to elevated particle levels. Review whether filter upgrades or operational changes should be considered for future events. We spend a lot of time talking about ventilation for energy savings, but days like yesterday are a reminder that continuous air quality monitoring is just as valuable for protecting research, critical processes, and the people inside our buildings. How did your facility perform during yesterday's smoke event? #IndoorAirQuality #Laboratories #LifeSciences #FacilitiesManagement #WildfireSmoke #AirQuality #Engineering #HVAC #ResearchFacilities

We’re seeing NIH funding pressure turn into real operational challenges for universities. Presidents, CFOs, research heads, and facility leaders, need a different approach in these new operating conditions. The Thrive team addressed this in our latest blog post: [link]https://lnkd.in/eHg48fFZ
