volume (VAV) ventilation; resulting in significant energy savings whenever the fume cupboard sashes are closed<\/li>\n<li>Replacing 98 extract fans with higher efficiency equivalents, which on average use 32% less energy<\/li>\n<li>Providing new ventilation to 49 chemical storage cupboards, meaning their associated fume cupboards can be switched off when not in use<\/li>\n<li>Removal and making
