Low Carbon Technology Measures in Construction and Operation of Laboratory Animal Facilities
In the carbon peaking and carbon neutrality goals background,the low carbon development of laboratory animal facilities is an important direction for future work.Research shows that the carbon emission per unit area of laboratory animal facilities is much higher than that of ordinary civil buildings,and the total amount of construction continues to increase,which means it has emission reduction potential.At the same time,high energy consumption and carbon emissions lead to huge costs during operation,and even make it difficult for some facilities to sustain.The low carbon development of laboratory animal facilities is conducive to the protection of natural ecology,the reduction of facility operating costs and the extension of facility service life,which is positive for the environment and the facility itself.From the perspective of life cycle,building carbon emission mainly includes embodied carbon emission and operational carbon emission,which involve the design,construction and operation and maintenance of buildings.Laboratory animal facilities,as the main places for animal feeding and experiments,have strict limits on environmental conditions,such as temperature,humidity,pressure difference,noise,cleanliness and ventilation times.Special design is required in terms of building process plan,storey height,building equipment,ventilation system and operation mode to meet the needs of use.The special needs lead to the low carbon technology measures in the construction and operation and maintenance of laboratory animal facilities are quite different from those in ordinary buildings,which has obvious particularity.The existing research on low carbon technology measures for laboratory animal facilities is not systematic.It is necessary to summarize low carbon technology measures from many aspects and perspectives,such as the building body of laboratory animal facilities,equipment and intelligent operation and maintenance,and put forward low carbon development suggestions.
