Audits help identify where you can make the greatest gains the quickest. They cover space, design, policy, equipment, efficiency, procurement, waste, and any other relevant areas to improve sustainability. Findings are summarised into clear reports, which include estimates on energy savings, payback periods, recommended methods, rationale, and summarised project lists.
Want your staff and students to learn how to implement green lab and research principles locally or across a facility? Get in touch and we can conduct workshops and training for anyone involved with a laboratory (including facility management and sustainability professionals).
Workshops and training will empower your team to ensure the best results possible when it comes to sustainable and green science now.
We can provide tailored assessments of your products or processes to learn what the full carbon and financial impacts of manufacturing, operations, or disposal are. Use these to identify further means of mitigating emissions, and celebrating the sustainability of your company.
Should you require a dedicated expert to provide recommendations or a particular project, Green Lab Associates can assist. Hire a team member for a set period to achieve a specified project or set of goals. This will allow you to skip the learning curve associated with some of the more complicated areas, and ensure the quickest implementation of your project. We also can create tailored programs for long-term success, as our track record proves.
For long-term impacts, policies, reporting, and design guidance must be addressed. Get expert advice on policy content, strategy development, reporting and more. Areas covered include health and safety, procurement/tenders, space, facility design, emissions reporting, and research quality.
We can also assist in maximising benefits from existing schemes like BREEAM, SKA, and of course LEAF.
We have significant experience in certification design, developing UCL’s LEAF program, and co-developed RCEM’s GreenED program. Based on this experience, we have launched the world’s first and only company-site sustainable research certification. The scheme is unique; it doesn't focus on single laboratories or offices, but rather an entire site or institute. This certification is ideal for any size company which aims to improve their sustainability credentials, and provides a simple means to evidence it to the sector and potential investors.
Green STEM Certification is site-specific and has three levels, Bronze, Silver, and Gold, and
includes criteria in the following key areas:
