Green Labs Workshop @ Plant Sciences

Environment and Energy Section and Department of Plant Sciences

The most energy intenstive buildings in the University of Cambridge house scientific research facilities. Labs therefore present both a huge opportunity and a huge challenge in terms of energy and carbon reduction. How do we cut energy and carbon emissions without hindering research, whilst allowing for growth?
Aimed at lab related university staff, this event will include a short talk around the university's <A HREF="http://www.environment.admin.cam.ac.uk/what-are-we-doing/carbon/ecrp" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">Energy and Carbon Reduction Project</A> funded activities in Plant Sciences, led by Martin Howes (Plant Sciences Energy Co-ordinator). Plant Sciences have recently been Highly Commended in the Green Gown Awards for their project '<A TITLE="(Link to an external website)" CLASS="external-link campl-external" HREF="http://www.sustainabilityexchange.ac.uk/green_gown_awards_2015_research_and_development2" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">LEDing the way to greener plant growth</A>'. Martin will share his experiences on identifying energy reduction projects and applying for funds. This will be followed by a Q&A discussion session and a short tour of the Plant Sciences' research facilities. A member of the Environment and Energy team will be there to answer any specific queries.
