A typical laboratory uses five times more energy and water per square foot compared to office buildings and other facilities, which means five times the utility costs. This is due to the energy-intensive nature of laboratory activities – that require containment and exhaust devices, large pieces of heat-generating equipment, and fail-safe back-up systems – as well as intensive ventilation and other requirements to address health and safety.
