Description
Free events on sustainable laboratories that have been organised for academics, managers and technicians in laboratories. All feature Allen Doyle, founder of the award winning LabRATS initiative in the University of California, and have been organised by the HEFCE-funded Higher Education Environmental Performance Improvement (HEEPI) project.
This covers the both topics discussed at the previous two seminars in London and Bradford and it focuses on laboratory operation, and deals with topics such as energy efficiency, green IT and waste management as well as on greening the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and medicine) curriculum. The morning session examines current practice, and the afternoon session examines opportunities to use laboratory operations as a mechanism for teaching and learning about sustainability (e.g. HVAC systems as engineering case studies; experimental chemicals as a route into teaching green chemistry and life cycle assessment).
You may also be interested in presentations from events earlier this month on sustainable laboratory design, which can be downloaded from www.labs21.org.
