Laboratory buildings are responsible for over 60% of total energy consumption and carbon emissions across the University
To address this, the Environmental Sustainability team has created the Sustainable Labs programme, which specifically focuses on energy reduction and sustainability in labs. We encourage labs to sign up to LEAF (Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework), and provide resources to support award submission.
We encourage and support best practice so that sustainability becomes an integral part of everyday lab work. Our resources can help you to achieve this.
As part of our efforts to reduce the University's carbon emissions, we offer funding to replace inefficient lab equipment across the estate - find out how we can help you.
