A housing of a fume hood includes walls defining a chamber for containment of air therein. One of the walls defines an air passageway opening into the chamber, and a sensor is located outside of the chamber and measures airflow velocity through the air passageway into the fume hood. An elongate, perforated tubular member supported within the chamber includes a first end mounted to the wall of the chamber defining the air passageway in surrounding relation thereto, and a second, distal end substantially closed off from the contaminated air within the chamber whereby airflow through the air passageway into the fume hood generally must pass through a perforation in the tubular member to gain access into the air chamber. The tubular member extends across the width of the chamber and airflow velocity through the air passage is representative of overall air entry velocity into the air chamber.
