Broadly Deploying Smart Laboratories in Research Universities
Fred Bockmiller, P.E., CEM, LEED AP®, University of California (UC), Irvine
During the last decade, UC Irvine has developed an approach to laboratory design that begins with the Labs21 Tool Kit and accelerates beyond. Now, in an effort to meet our 2014 goals for carbon reduction, we are deploying these features in retrofit applications. This poster will describe before and after conditions for a number of laboratory facilities and what we learned during construction and implementation.
