New I2SL International Software Helps Reduce Research Buildings’ Energy Use
Recognizing that research facilities use five to 10 times as much energy as office buildings, the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL) has launched the first laboratory-specific software service for creating automated energy audits. The Actionable Insights and Measures (AIM) software allows lab owners, facility managers, engineers, and consultants around the world to identify and prioritize lab building efficiency improvements, as well as to calculate projected energy and cost savings.
Labs2Zero Program Offers Tools to Help Reduce Energy and Emissions From Research
Due to the energy-intensive nature of research processes and equipment, today’s high-tech lab buildings use five to 10 times the energy that offices do and generate significantly more greenhouse gas emissions. To address this issue, the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL) launched several free tools to decrease the energy and carbon footprint of labs through its Labs2Zero program.
I2SL Launches Labs2Zero Program to Help Reduce Energy and Emissions From Research Facilities
Due to the air quality needs of research, most labs use more energy and generate more greenhouse gas emissions than typical office buildings. To address this issue, the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL) has launched the Labs2Zero program in cooperation with leading lab experts and sponsor companies to help decarbonize life science facilities.
