A brief description of the institution's green laboratory program:
Environmental Health & Safety and the Office of Sustainability developed a 'Shut the Sash' and Freezer inventory program in Winter 2020. Preliminary results show 6% energy savings associated with Shut the Sash. Analysis and recommendations to improve freezer efficiency is being conducted in Spring 2020. The institution also maintains an inventory of chemicals held by each lab and encourages labs to share as a way to reduce unnecessary purchasing. These three initiatives are operational and form the basis of our green labs program. We are now planning to combine these initiatives with existing lab safety education and outreach programs.
Finally, while not required to earn the innovation credit, we will begin to promote this menu of options and reward participating labs under campus Green Labs certification program in 2021.
