Intelligent design: UCI`s new and retrofitted Smart Labs can cut energy use by half
If research labs account for two-thirds of a campuss carbon footprint, it doesnt take an Einstein to target them for energy savings. Where the genius comes in is figuring out how to do it, and when UC Irvine engineers put their brains to the problem, they came up with Smart Labs systems that can reduce energy consumption by up to 50 percent in new and retrofitted labs. UCIs Facilities Management and Environmental Health & Safety divisions are now receiving nationwide recognition as they share their problem-solving wizardry with other campus, private-industry and government labs....
