Get Smart (Labs): Results from the Better Buildings Smart Labs Accelerator

For the past three years, 18 Better Buildings partners have been working through the Smart Labs Accelerator to reduce their energy intensity in their laboratory buildings through the development of a Smart Labs Program. A Smart Labs Program promotes safe and efficient world-class science by: reducing ventilation to the lowest safe levels (during occupied and unoccupied times), implementing high ventilation effectiveness design, minimizing fan energy, and installing smart building controls. This webinar highlighted best practices for developing a Smart Labs Program and featured results from Accelerator participants.

Speakers: Phil Wirdzek, International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL); Rachel Romero, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL); Otto VanGeet, National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL)
