TEL is using British Science Week to promote environmental sustainability in laboratories and help combat the environment and climate emergency.
The UK company’s energy-efficient products provide respiratory protection to laboratory workers worldwide, whilst enabling customers to sustainably comply with health and safety legislation. TEL sees British Science Week as the perfect opportunity to encourage sustainability within the sector.
Throughout the week, which takes place between 6th and 15th March, it will be communicating with those responsible for designing and procuring fume cupboard systems within educational and commercial science laboratories, highlighting the importance of doing so sustainably and providing the necessary guidance.
TEL will also be underlining the budgetary benefits of installing energy-efficient laboratory airflow systems. Customers who have convert from conventional constant airflow volume (CAV) to variable airflow volume (VAV) solutions can reduce energy costs by up to 85%.
The environmental sustainability of laboratories can also be improved via the fitting of auto sash controllers, which automatically close fume cupboard sashes when the units are not occupied. TEL director, Richard Eady said: “The pressure on laboratory fume cupboard system developers and users to operate sustainably is high, as they strive to meet increasingly stringent targets. British Science Week presents the ideal opportunity for us to show people how.”
