To Help Reduce Energy and Emissions From Research Facilities, I2SL Launches the Labs2Zero Program
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.
“Labs2Zero is a major new initiative helping accelerate the decarbonization of the world’s laboratories to dramatically reduce their emissions,” said I2SL President Gordon Sharp. “Our founding sponsors are at the forefront of sustainable laboratory design, operations, and equipment and continue to demonstrate leadership in making labs more efficient and reducing their impact on climate change.”
Labs2Zero will help laboratory owners, operators, designers, engineers, and users better understand their energy use and carbon footprint with tools that are currently in development:
