Join I2SL in Making the World's High-Tech Facilities Sustainable
The International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to the sustainable design,
engineering, and operation of laboratories and other high-technology facilities. As cosponsor of the Laboratories for the 21st Century (Labs21®) conference
and workshops since 2006, and now host of the I2SL Annual Conference, I 2SL is the world's premier resource for high-tech facility professionals—from education and resource development to networking and
partnering—with the aim of making the world's high-tech facilities sustainable. Building and expanding on Labs21, I2SL has hosted the Labs21
Annual Conference, offered in-person workshops and online webinars, and developed resources in relevant technical areas such as sub-metering and building
information modeling.
For more than a decade, the Labs21 program has been the source for individuals and organizations looking to learn more about and become engaged
with laboratory sustainability. I2SL now assumes responsibility to continue the mission of Labs21 and will take the reins to ensure the
information sharing and education continues among the high-tech facility community.
I2SL will look to its members to develop resources, including metering guidelines, high-tech facility operations and maintenance certification,
and a laboratory performance rating system, all of which will guide the high-tech facility community toward creating more sustainable facilities. Become an
I2SL Member to be on the front lines of these and other initiatives and take advantage of all that an I2SL membership has to offer.
