Laboratories are energy intensiveLaboratories are energy intensive– On a square foot basis, labs often On a square foot basis, labs often
consume five to ten times as much consume five to ten times as much energy as a typical office buildingenergy as a typical office building
Most existing labs can reduce energy Most existing labs can reduce energy use by 30% or more with existing use by 30% or more with existing technologytechnology
