Laboratories consume an enormous amount of energy: a fume cupboard consumes as much energy as 3.5 single family houses, -80°C freezers as much as a single family house, large instruments such as NMR as much as three single family houses. And then there are many other large and small pieces of equipment used in everyday laboratory work – all of which add up to high running costs. At the same time, there is enormous potential to save resources and reduce costs. In this workshop you will learn about the biggest energy consumers and best practices for reducing your own energy consumption.

Seminar Goals

• Learn about energy saving opportunities in the laboratory
• Learn about best practice examples that laboratories have already implemented
• Gain inspiration for your own work
• Get background information, data and facts about small and large energy consumers
• Develop your own ideas to start immediately

Target audience

Laboratory staff and anyone interested in realising potential savings in the laboratory.
