Energy

Laboratories are one of the largest energy-consuming sectors in the country.  After data centers, labs are widely recognized as consuming more energy per square foot than any other sector due to their energy-intensive equipment, around-the-clock operations, 100% outside air requirements, and high airflow rates.
