# Case Study: Title 24 Compliance and Energy Optimization in Life Science Labs

![](https://antrum.com/hubfs/raw_assets/public/sr-child-theme-antrum/images/tab-notch-thingy.svg)

## Background

A leading U.S. defense, aviation, information technology, and biomedical research company was executing a tenant improvement project in an existing life science building. Because the facility was located in California, the project needed to comply with the state’s Energy Code, Title 24, which mandates either continuous wind monitoring or chemical-monitored exhaust for many laboratory ventilation systems.

## Challenge

Continuous wind monitoring presented significant installation and financial challenges. The company needed an alternative solution that would satisfy compliance requirements while also optimizing energy efficiency.

## Solution

The company evaluated two competing platforms before selecting AntrumX® for its lower installation costs, reduced ongoing expenses, and ease of integration. Paired with AntrumEYE®, the solution provided:

- Real-time contaminant monitoring aligned with ANSI Z9.5 guidelines, which call for information-based dynamic ventilation
- Demand-based exhaust fan stack control to meet compliance requirements
- Energy and sustainability reporting, including kWh savings and CO₂ emissions avoided
- A scalable, intelligent platform that reduced complexity and cost

## Results

The system enabled the company to achieve Title 24 compliance while projecting 50% reduction in laboratory exhaust system energy use:

- Achieved compliance with California’s Title 24 energy code
- Projected a 50% reduction in laboratory exhaust system energy use
- Avoided the high installation and ongoing costs associated with continuous wind monitoring
- Seamlessly integrated the solution into an existing lab environment

## Impact

By choosing contaminant-based monitoring over continuous wind monitoring, the organization avoided significant installation and operational costs. The solution not only advanced their sustainability commitments but also positioned the project as a model for how labs can meet stringent codes while improving efficiency. AntrumX provided a scalable, intelligent framework that protects occupant safety while supporting long-term cost savings and regulatory confidence.
