• Keep outside doors and doors to low heated areas closed

    • Use volume of lab washers and autoclaves as efficiently as possible
    • Use refrigerators and freezers efficiently: "declutter" regularly, pool refrigerated items, shut down when not needed, adjust required refrigeration temperature (- 80°C)
