The Labs21 Workshop program can provide you with key principles and techniques necessary to help you develop or maintain a sustainable laboratory or high-tech facility. The courses, which cover topics ranging from the architecture of high-performance laboratories to the energy-efficient design process to tips for laboratory users, are taught by seasoned laboratory designers, energy managers, and facilities professionals.
The Labs21 Workshops are cosponsored by the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL) . More information on workshops and the latest workshop schedule can be found on I2SL's Training and Education Web page.
Both the half-day and full-day Labs21 Introductory Course: High-Performance, Low-Energy Design, as well as the Labs21 Workshop: Environmental Performance Criteria (EPC), are approved by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) for Green Building Certification Institute Continuing Education Hours toward the LEED® Credential Maintenance Program.
Benefits of Participating in a Labs21 Workshop
- Laboratory professionals will learn sustainable design practices that can be implemented in daily operations.
- Attendees will receive Continuing Education Credits (typically six credits for a full-day workshop and three credits for a half-day workshop) for their participation in any Labs21 Workshop.
- Workshops reinforce an organization's commitment to sustainability.
- If the techniques learned in the workshops are utilized in a design project, there can be direct cost and energy savings.
Who Should Attend a Labs21 Workshop?
Labs21 Workshops are open to all members of the laboratory and high-performance building community, including public and private owners, managers, designers, architects, engineers, builders, researchers, students, policymakers, and others interested in sustainable laboratory design.
Each Labs21 Workshop is tailored toward a different topic, audience, and experience level. Read the course descriptions to learn more about each workshop and which ones can help you achieve your sustainability and cost-saving goals.
