Earth Day Month Tip - Ways to Reduce Water Use in Labs
Department / Organization: Sustainability
Top 3 ways to reduce water consumption in your lab
During Earth Day Month, consider reducing the water consumption of your lab by
• Eliminating single-pass cooling – it can provide the single greatest water savings to laboratories.
• Ensuring any autoclaves operate efficiently - if there is a gurgling sound near the drain of an autoclave when it is not in use, there is most likely a failed valve that can waste millions of gallons of water each year.
• Using air cooled or waterless condensers
If you suspect a lab maintenance issue, contact Facilities Management for repair. For more information about saving water in labs, read the "Water Efficiency in Laboratories Best Practices Guide" published by WaterSense and I2SL.
