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.

Did you know...?


  • Ultra-low temperature freezers can use as much  energy as an average household every day.
  • Small water baths can consume as much energy as a dishwasher every hour; large water baths can consume as much energy as a window air conditioner every hour.
  • Even heat blocks can use as much energy as a 50" TV per hour.

What can be done to reduce energy in the lab?  Check out the resources below.
