Environment & Energy Training 2019

• This training session aims to give staff and students at the University who are keen to reduce their environmental impact an idea of how to measure and monitor the impact of changes they make. We’ll look at useful sources of data, review case studies of what others have done to measure their impact and communicate it to colleagues, and try out some practical exercises to work out the environmental ‘footprint’ of activities associated with energy, waste, travel and purchasing.

• Training will be provided in two parts. Attendees can book on one or both sessions. Session 1 is the workshop. Session 2 is lunch and a drop in session

• Systemlink is the software programme used to record energy use in the University’s buildings.
• You can use Systemslink to monitor energy use in your building(s) and, in some buildings to identify areas for improvement.
• This training will provide an overview of Systemslink and an introduction on how to use it.

How can we reduce energy usage in laboratories?

As part of ‘Spotlight on Energy’ month in February 2019, come along for information and discussion on this topic. Areas will likely include how to prioritise your highest energy users and practical tips on improvements that can be made. A demonstration of the LEAF tool to quantify energy usage and opportunity within labs will also be presented. With representation from the University of Cambridge's Green Labs initiative and University College London.

Late morning refreshments will be provided.

Another session with the same content will also run at the Clinical School on the Addenbrooke's Site the following week. See Related Courses.

Join us for this lunchtime talk, which is part of the Environment and Energy section's Spotlight on Energy month. This event focuses on the fantastic energy research being carried out across the University; research into how we produce energy, research on how better to design buildings to use less energy and finally, research on human behaviour when it comes to energy use.

• Speakers: Arfa Karani of the Department of Physics, Dr Ruchi Chaudhary of the Department of Engineering, Rebecca Ward of the Department of Engineering and Dr Christina Pensaco of POLIS.

Green Labs has teamed up with Eppendorf to provide training on how ultra low temperature (ULT) freezers protect your samples and what good practices you can adopt with yours.

• What do we need from sample storage?
• How do ULT freezers provide appropriate conditions?
• How should you operate your freezers to best protect your samples?

Content delivered will not be promotional and staff who use other brands are equally welcome to attend.

Spaces are limited, so attendees may be limited to one per group, subject to demand. Subsequent clinics are likely if interest is sufficient.

Refreshments will be available.

Systemlink is a software programme with an online portal, which is used to record energy use in College buildings.

You can use this portal to monitor energy use in your buildings and potentially identify areas for improvement. This training will provide an overview of Systemslink and an introduction on how to use it. What you learn will help you get the most out of the new Service Level Agreement.

Learning Objectives:

• Recap of meter readings
• How to put meter reading data into Systemslink
• Review of the Systemslink dashboard and reporting options
• How to download and work with your energy data

Green Labs has teamed up with Avidity Science to provide training on water use in laboratories.

• What types of water are used in labs and why?
• What are the techniques used to produce different types of lab water?
• What can you do to adopt good water-usage practices in your workspace?

Content delivered will not be promotional and staff who use other brands are equally welcome to attend.

This event will run with two sessions on different topics. These can be booked independently if you are only interested in, or are only able to attend, one of them.

• Session 1: 11:00-11:45, Laboratory water quality and purification techniques
• Refreshments: 11:45-12:15
• Session 2: 12:15-13:00, Lab water - economy and sustainability
• Q&A with Avidity Science experts: 13:00-13:15

Refreshments will be available between the two sessions. Delegates attending any of the sessions are welcome to them!

This training is aimed at staff and students who took part in Green Impact last year, and want to understand how evidence previously uploaded into the Green Impact workbook can be 'migrated' into the current year, therefore saving time in replicating evidence for actions which have already been completed. We'll also give a brief overview of which actions have changed or been added to the workbook since last year.

This training is aimed at staff and students who want to take part in Green Impact this year as part of a departmental team (this training is not suitable for College participants). It's aimed at those who haven't taken part before and want want to understand how to gain a Bronze award. We'll show you how to log into the Green Impact 'workbook' and set up a new team, run through the process of completing actions, and briefly outline the requirements of a Bronze award.
