Labs21 Workshop: Environmental
Performance Criteria
With the growing demand for high-performance, low-energy facilities,
the need for an assessment system to classify these sustainable
buildings is essential. The Labs21 Environmental Performance Criteria
(EPC), a point-based rating system that assesses the environmental
performance of laboratories, has emerged as a solution. EPC builds
on the U.S. Green Building Council's (USGBC's) Leadership in Energy
and Environmental Design (LEED®) rating system by adding credits
and prerequisites pertaining to laboratories.
This half-day workshop will introduce EPC and cover such issues
as credits and prerequisites; technologies and strategies that can
be used to meet EPC requirements; cost implications of meeting those
requirements; and sustainable design processes developed from the
Labs21 Tool Kit. All conference
attendees are encouraged to attend and learn how to be at the forefront
of sustainable laboratory assessment.
