Always close fume hood sashes.
Fume hoods that are left open can consume as much energy as 3.5 homes; closing the sash when you are done using the hood can substantially reduce energy consumption – from 3.5 homes’ worth down to 2. Fume hood sashes are also in place for your safety, and shutting the sash helps protect you and your colleagues should something explode in the hood.
