We use insights from environmental management systems, systems science, and ecological economics to develop the basis for a management model of the balance between laboratory safety and energy conservation. Article available here from the Journal of Chemical Health and Safety

With the AASHE 2011 Conference now two months behind me, it's a good time to reflect on the lasting insights and connections that the experience provided.

Green Labs Program

This program will help reduce energy consumption in laboratory buildings through strategic equipment upgrades and peer outreach. The CEF will fund a program manager to run a pilot program that 1) involves individual laboratory members in identifying opportunities for efficiency in their laboratory and promoting efficient behavior among their peers; 2) upgrades inefficient laboratory equipment and techniques and 3) encourages labs to turn equipment off when not in use, and to retire unnecessary or duplicate equipment.
