Universities![](https://www.meefog.com/wp-content/uploads/Research-lab-cooling-solutions.png)
The Arizona State University Biodesign Institute encompasses 554,000 square feet of award-winning, LEED-certified buildings and stands as Arizona’s largest infrastructure investment in bioscience-related research. The Institute’s Building C is LEED Platinum certified and utilizes MeeFog’s advanced humidification and cooling system to enhance its sustainability efforts. The MeeFog system has one pump unit feeding three energy recovery coils for indirect evaporative cooling, optimizing energy efficiency and is is in sync with ASU’s building control system which turns the system on and off as required to pre-cool in the Exhaust Air Unit. The system requires no mist eliminators, operates with soft water, and effectively reduces temperatures to ensure consistent performance and substantial environmental benefits.
