Personnel protection with precise control and monitoring of air flow volumes, control of air pressure differential zones. Integrated access control systems and video surveillance to control access and avoid cross contamination risks are just some of the solutions offered to ensure a safe and secure working environment.
Video surveillance
The video surveillance system monitors sensitive areas and records the processes before and after an event. If the system detects a critical deviation, such as unauthorized persons, it automatically transmits an alarm to the control center and activates the camera in the relevant area.
Access control
Our access control solutions provide a centralized recording of user activities and a clear overview of all persons present. In real time, they combine information from the access control server, personnel files, plant and maintenance data as well as access history before deciding if a person is allowed to access a certain area at a certain time.
Intrusion detection
Modern security systems must satisfy a broad range of security requirements and allow installation in a variety of configurations. By combining intrusion detection systems with other security disciplines such as video surveillance or access control, we help you to increase your security while at the same time saving costs.
Cross contamination prevention
By controlling and managing physical access to restricted zones such as clean rooms and sensitive production areas, cross-contamination prevention solutions from Siemens help customers follow adequate predefined procedures and minimize the risk of cross-contamination by people, processes, facilities and equipment.
Back to Clean RoomHeating, air conditioning and ventilation systems account for up to 70% of the total energy costs for cleanrooms. Consequently, the only way to lower energy costs is to continuously monitor and optimize these systems. Our solutions provide such functions as the control of air exchange rates based on various factors like room usage or particle concentration, the detection of necessary underpressure or overpressure and dynamic adaptation of the control processes.
Airlock interlocking system (AIS)
The entire airlock control system operates autonomously and can be quickly and flexibly adapted to individual requirements. Integration additionally enables features such as locking by the gas detection technology and dynamic adjustment of purge times. Integrated access control reliably controls people flow.

Ventilation
The laboratory ventilation system is able to control any type of volume flow controls or measuring device very precisely and if needed with high speed reaction, ensuring that all the equipment that is connected to the ventilation can be used safely and that the room air changes and room pressure are under safe conditions all the time. All the controlled devices are monitored and failures will be alarmed immediately. System and communication errors will be alarmed additionally.
Back to LaboratoryLaboratories equipped with optimum technology offer numerous energy saving opportunities with building automation and control systems. The more information is available to the system, the better the facilities operate while increasing safety and comfort aspects over the long term.
Fume hood control
During occupied period using the fume hood controls the exhaust volume flow of the fume hood. This by measuring the opening of the front sash. This open surface allows the controller to reduce or increase the fume hood exhaust volume flow according its actual need. This functionality can have a big influence on the energy consumption of a lab depending on the room configuration. Automatically closing the front sash when not in use provides additional energy savings.
HVAC control
Siemens offers a comprehensive range of building automation systems and HVAC products for every area of use such as heating, ventilation, air conditioning, cooling application, and for every technical requirement. The Siemens building automation system manages all these areas efficiently after the actual demand.
Building automation and control system
The Desigo CC building automation and control system is the basis for the Siemens laboratory solution. It ensures optimum integration of fume hood control, room pressure control, room air exchange and temperature control – for increased safety and reduced costs.
Demand Controlled Ventilation
In general each control device controls one or two exhaust or supply volume flows in the room. The controllers communicate among each other to exchange actual values and status. The information about the actual need for conditioned air is transferred to the AHU controllers. These controllers are now able to control the AHU as efficient as possible according the actual demand in the rooms.
Laboratory Air Terminal Unit
Depending on the damper position a VAV-terminal box can be the reason for high pressure losses in a duct system. The laboratory solution from Siemens gets from all the controlled VAV-dampers the information about the actual position of the dampers. This information allows the system to detect VAV-terminal boxes with high pressure losses. The system tries automatically to reduce the pressure loss of the dampers to a minimum.
Time scheduler
A very effective way to reduce the energy consumption is to operate the air change rates in the laboratory rooms according to their occupancy. The management functionality in the master controller devices offers a powerful time scheduler tool to shift the rooms after its individual occupation from occupied to unoccupied mode.
Back to LaboratoryThe Green Lab Solution is a bundled offering of products, solutions and services designed to make laboratory spaces more energy efficient and improve performance. Labs consume a lot of energy (typically 3 to 8 times greater than office buildings) due to ventilation requirements for worker safety and research integrity. Two thirds of energy use in a laboratory is associated with meeting air change requirements and for comfort control.
Fume hood sash management
A sash management strategy can be procedural as well as technical. A procedural strategy incorporates user education and awareness. The Siemens’ fume hood controller Sash Alert feature reminds users to lower sashes. It is most effective when used in conjunction with a sash management campaign. Monitoring sash height can also be used as a management tool by laboratory managers and facility staff to assure that sashes are closed.

Two thirds of energy use in a laboratory is associated with meeting air change requirements and for comfort control.
Reduce fume hood minimum air volume
Lowering minimum exhaust requirements conserves energy by also reducing room makeup air requirements. Energy is conserved by reducing the amount of outside air to be heated or cooled. This reduction only occurs when the fume hood exhaust drives laboratory air volume.

CV to VAV conversion
Converting from constant volume to variable volume is a control strategy that adjusts the laboratory air change rate based on fume hood exhaust. Fume hood exhaust volume is controlled in response to sash position by maintaining a constant face velocity. When the fume hood sash is closed, exhaust volume is reduced. Supply volume is subsequently reduced to maintain room pressurization.
