At Cornell, we called that a "hood housekeeping score"; criteria for that score are described in the Cornell LVMP.

Again at Cornell, the annual fume hood face velocity check also includes a check at the lab door with dry ice to assure that the room was negative to the hallway. This acts as a surrogate for this factor. If negative pressure to the hallway is lost, it's likely that the general ventilation in the room as a whole needs to be assessed.
