Content Inside: 1 Healthcare/Pharmaceutical Industry Roundtable Issue Paper Background As part of the Laboratories for the 21 st Century (Labs21) conference, a Healthcare/Pharmaceutical Laboratory Roundtable was held on January 9, 2002. The purpose of the Roundtable was to bring together a diverse group of laboratory professionals (owners, operators, managers, designers) from the pharmaceutical industry for a focused discussion on the issues and challenges faced in improving laboratory energy and environmental performance. This document summarizes the discussion at the session, as well as potential next steps for the Roundtable participants. Issue #1. Lead: Jim Ricigliano, PWI Energy How to encourage scientific staff to recognize there are limitations with existing laboratory space and building services and to meaningfully participate with facility managers to: – Manage and operate research equipment properly – Consider energy and water consumption in purchasing decisions – Reduce the amount and toxicity of chemicals used in the laboratory – Increase the number of laboratory operating shifts per week as an alternative to building additional laboratory space Manage and operate research equipment properly: A system should be developed to encourage researchers to practice elementary energy conservation. In its simplest form, this might mean not turning on equipment until researchers are required and then shutting equipment off when the tasks have been completed. On the contrary, laboratories are full of electrically-operated devices that are kept on in case they are needed (e.g., constant temperature baths). Next, a system should be developed to encourage researchers to operate their equipment efficiently. Some examples might be keeping the sash closed on fume hoods, keeping refrigerators full, and grouping tests to take advantage of devices that are capable of processing multiple samples. Laboratory managers, safety personnel, as well as security and housekeeping ...
