Details
Switching off laboratory equipment when not in use is one of the simplest ways to reduce energy consumption. By identifying which items can be switched off and when, defining clear rules for each device, and communicating these rules to users, research groups can reduce energy without affecting research quality & safety.
Examples for equipment are safety cabinets, drying cabinets, heating blocks, chilled centrifuges, ovens, incubators and water baths.
