This session tackles the challenging topic of decarbonization for laboratories. Laboratories use significantly more energy than other occupancies and thus have a larger carbon footprint. The presentations discuss strategies, tools and best practices for reducing operational carbon in laboratories. The session also highlights a new set of programs to benchmark, score and certify lab energy use and carbon emissions.
