The Impact: <p>Reduce energy usage of equipment</p>
Details
The correct positioning and regular maintenance of devices minimises energy usage. Equipment that generates or expels heat, such as freezers, chilled centrifuges, ovens and incubators, require sufficient ventilation and regular air filter cleaning to prevent overheating and reduce energy demand. If available, energy-saving modes and settings should be selected.
This action builds on Bronze measure "switching off equipment" by ensuring that running equipment is operating as efficient as possible.
