9. Case 6 - Nottingham Fume Cupboards  Linking 380 VAV controls to BMS  Converting average sash heights to notional savings compared to 365/7/24  Feedback to labs + awareness campaign - Stickers on FC - Posters in Labs - User awareness/training - Postgraduate LAB Champions Network  10% reduction in use, saving at least £62,700, 1.9 million kWh of energy and 520 tonnes of CO 2 per annum

11. Case 2 – Better Chemical Management, Edinburgh  Tracking all chemicals through barcoded containers  Users see in-house inventory when ordering  £100,000 first year savings of chemical purchasing costs  £12,000/year savings of management/disposal costs  Fast access to chemicals  Regular chemical audits  SciQuest e-procurement links Derek Burgess, Procurement Manager

12. Case 5 – Replacing Freezers at Newcastle  £725 litre freezer energy - 6,000–21,000 kWh/y  £180,000 of central funding to replace old models  36 -80 freezers replaced, saving 131,000 kWh  7 years, at 9.5p per kWh  Reduced space, more reliable  More £ for research Clare Rogers, Director Estates Support Services

13. Case 4 – Improved Sample Tracking, Queen Mary  Blizard Institute Cell & Molecular Science  Combined 8 research centres, 40 liquid nitrogen dewars into centralised store  Barcode tracking & standardised containers  50% fewer samples  Easier sample retrieval  Less degradation risk  Human Tissues Act compliance easier

14. Lab Assessment Self-assessment tool for lab users (and estates) Inspired by work of LabRATS Building (high level) and Lab Specific Assessment templates Lab specific assessment – 30 criteria in 9 categories Evidence of compliance Best practice guidance 2-3 hrs per lab
