Labs21^® is dedicated to improving the environmental performance of U.S. laboratories.

Cosponsored by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), Labs21 offers professionals worldwide the opportunity for information exchange and education.

Laboratories and high performance facilites are targeted because the typical laboratory, for example, uses far more energy and water per square foot than the typical office building.

New from Labs21

Identify energy-efficiency opportunities in your laboratory using the new Laboratory Energy Efficiency Profiler (LEEP) Tool.

A new version of the Labs21 Environmental Performance Criteria has been released.
