Session 27: Laboratory efficiency assessment framework “LEAF”, promoting sustainable laboratory practices at LJMU
Abstract
The Laboratory Efficiency Assessment Framework (LEAF) at LJMU, implemented in 2023, addresses the substantial energy consumption in laboratories, estimated to be 3-10 times higher than regular office spaces. Technical teams play a key role in advising and implementing sustainable practices, facing challenges in altering established norms. The emphasis on small changes is crucial, fostering a culture of environmental responsibility. Overcoming resistance and promoting training contribute to successful implementation. The results are expected to showcase quantitative and qualitative improvements, contributing to LJMU's commitment to sustainable operations and setting an example for other faculties and the community.
