This category covers how energy and equipment are managed across laboratories and research offices. It focuses on reducing demand, optimising performance, and supporting sharing of high-value kit. Topics include:
-
Lab infrastructure, equipment & cold storage – freezers, fume cupboards, autoclaves, HVAC, and other high-energy systems.
-
Equipment sharing & LIMS – asset management platforms, inventory systems, resource sharing, and sample tracking.
This category is distinct from Buildings, Space & Design, which covers estate-level renewables and building energy efficiency.
Reporting note: Discussions here often connect with Reporting, Standards & Compliance, particularly for carbon data (Scope 1 & 2) and equipment-related Scope 3 emissions.
