    <p>Hi Travis,</p>
    <p>At 4D LABS our facility is tied into the main house exhaust
      system with stainless ducting.  Tool exhausts, wetbenches, and gas
      cabinets all go into this stream.  We have local scrubbers for
      extra hazardous materials.  The exhaust system on the roof has 3
      strobic fans and we would likely be ok with 2/3 running.</p>
    <p>One tip I can offer is to always plan generously for future
      expansion.  It is very expensive and difficult to add exhaust
      capacity after the main build.<br>
    </p>
    <p>Thanks,</p>
    <p>Nathanael<br>
    </p>

            planning a significant cleanroom expansion, and the question
            arose whether we
            <i>need</i> separate exhaust for hoods and tools/gases, or
            if they can be combined into a single shared exhaust.  Or do
            you have a single exhaust with 2+ exhaust fans pulling
            simultaneously, so there’s always
            <i>some </i>exhaust air moving if one fan is down?  The
            conventional wisdom around here has its share of holes, so
            I’m out to learn from the broader nanofab cleanroom
            community.  How are your cleanrooms’ exhaust systems are
            configured, especially if you’ve had to go down this
            cleanroom design rabbit hole?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
