Our vision is to make labs all over the country energy efficient.
We provide low cost and minimally invasive tools to detect and analyze energy inefficiencies
to provide targeted information to do something awesome.
The Lab Energy Assessment Center (LEAC) is a new organization founded from a grant won from the MIT Green Labs program. The goal of the LEAC is to work in conjunction with Green Labs and MIT Sustainability to promote resourceful energy usage by providing energy assessments free of charge to labs on campus.
Did you know MIT buildings with labs consume 300% more energy than any other buildings on campus? This makes labs a primary target for reducing wasteful uses of energy and creating a more sustainable environment.
We compile data to form a comprehensive report detailing power consumption patterns and work in collaboration with lab users to recommend energy-saving and sustainable practices.
We use a custom built monitoring network designed by researchers
at MIT's Device Research Lab that uses smart outlets and computer vision software.
We fix every outlet with a smart Wemo outlet, which sends live energy consumption data to our server.
For power sources hardwired into the labs (ex. fume hoods, lights), we use a computer vision software that identifies on/off states, and accordingly calculates energy usage.
We set up a glove recycling programs to make your lab greener and raise awareness of green practices.
We can outfit your lab with low flow faucet aerators, which provide high pressure flow with less water.
Forgot to turn the lights off? No problem. We can set up the wemo outlets, so that you can remotely switch off any plugged-in equipment
We will monitor the state energy usage of your lab for some time. Then, after sufficient data has been collected, we will form a personalized action plan for your lab that shows ways energy can saved.
