SEA can assess and characterize ways to optimize energy investments for laboratory and research facility infrastructures and manufacturing facilities of all sizes. In an economy where scientific discoveries and medical breakthroughs play a prominent role, research laboratory facilities are evolving by the day. Core laboratories represent increasingly important operational and strategic components of institutions’ research enterprises, especially in biomolecular science and engineering disciplines.

​

Laboratory and Research facilities are challenged by hosting instruments and technologies that are too complex and expensive for individual investigators to own, operate and maintain. The proliferation of these facilities, however, has drawn calls for a careful assessment of best principles for their operation. SEA can provide a framework to help these challenges and opportunities facing core and mixed use facilities by providing energy guidance and consulting services to keep researchers and lab technicians comfortable and safe.
