Laboratories have many unique efficiency opportunities, but certain constraints preclude the use of typical commercial building profiling and audit tools. The new Laboratory Energy Efficiency Profiler (LEEP) Tool  , developed by Labs21 Partner Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), will enable users to identify energy efficiency opportunities in their laboratories while requiring as little user data input as possible. The tool's analyses are based on characteristics of ventilation, heating and cooling, lighting, and plug and process loads, and it works in conjunction with the Labs21 Benchmarking Tool, also developed by LBNL.
If you are an energy or facility manager in search of actionable efficiency solutions for your laboratory, then you should include this important tool in your collection.
