We aim to promote a safe and sustainable research environment to align with MIT’s Climate Action Plan.
Buildings with a high density of laboratories tend to be the largest consumers of energy on the MIT campus. Much of this energy is essential to provide a safe and a productive research environment, but when everyone is thoughtful about their individual and lab-group energy use, lab waste, and other habits, it makes a really big difference.
Learn about simple actions to make labs more sustainable, environment friendly and efficient.
The Certification Program is an easy, informative, and interactive way for individual laboratories and groups to discover the ways that they can save energy, resources, and more while conducting their research.
Best practices on managing ultra-low temperature (ULT) freezers and incentive programs for promoting efficient, effective sample storage for laboratories.
