Fume hood

(

)

... that the energy cost of a single fume hood in Singapore can cost up to $9,300?

Source: Energy Use and Savings Potential for Laboratory Fume Hoods "[...] Fume hoods create large amounts of airflow, which drives the overall HVAC sizing and energy requirements of the buildings in which they are located. For standard two-meter (six-foot) hoods, per-hood energy costs range from $4,600 for moderate climates such as Los Angeles, USA to $9,300/year for extreme cooling climates such as Singapore."

ALT1: ... that Thomas Jefferson designed a hearth at the University of Virginia that served as a precursor to the modern fume hood? Source: Thomas Jefferson's Hidden Chemistry Lab Discovered "While cutting edge for its time, the hearth is far different from anything seen in a modern chemistry lab. Special flues carried out toxic air and heated sand was used to disperse and temper the heat instead of just turning down a knob."

Comment: Most of the possible hooks come from the History section; it can be reworked if these aren't interesting enough.

ALT2 is one thing that I found interesting, but wasn't able to confirm in my limited knowledge of Polish. It was a very old addition - maybe it's not entirely true? Machine translation roughly indicates that "obudowa rolet okiennych razem z silnikami elektrycznymi" (window shutter roller blind with electric motors) were present; this may be a mistranslation of the fume hood object as it is depicted in the article. This item is also specifically described as used "for decoration". Recon rabbit 19:56, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
- - ALT0 and ALT1 approved. I'm torn with which one is better, ALT0 is probably better information to know, but ALT1 probably will drive more clicks in. As for ALT2, I will hold the foreign-language reference in good faith enough to stay in the article, but as the other hooks are strong we should just go with them. awkwafaba (📥) 20:30, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
