Webcast: Toward Greener and More Sustainable Laboratories

With the potential for organizations in the U.S. to save billions of dollars in operating costs and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by millions of tons per year, it’s clear that improving the energy efficiency of lab facilities is both good for the environment and the bottom line. To help anyone involved in the design, operation or management of laboratory facilities interested in opportunities for enhancing the sustainability of their commercial or academic lab environments, the Building Technology Division of Siemens., is sponsoring R&D magazine and the Laboratory Design Newsletter’s 60-minute webcast: “Reducing Environmental Impact and Energy Consumption for Greener Laboratories” on Thursday, April 30 at 11 am EDT, 8 am PDT.

In this webcast, panelists will share why the greatest opportunities for saving energy in a facility may be found in laboratories. Discussed will be technology strategies that can safely reduce lab airflow and lower energy loads for both new and existing facilities, and advice on proper procedures and commissioning in addition to technology enhancements. Join R&D Magazine’s Editor Julie Higginbotham as she moderates panelists:
