Laboratory buildings use much more energy than most other building types. Due to their complex nature, labs are also more expensive to maintain and operate. Laboratory safety is the highest priority. Sustainable design often leads to more complicated systems, especially in a laboratory environment. Those systems are often quite expensive and are more difficult to maintain. However, the typical laboratory project goals of delivering a facility that is safe, energy efficient, maintainable and affordable are not necessarily mutually exclusive. This seminar showcases some projects that employed innovative methods to tackle these types of issues, with surprising outcomes.
