Green Labs Mission
ENERGY EFFICIENT
WASTE REDUCTION
GREEN PROCUREMENT
There are three main goals to the UCSC Green Labs Program:
1. ENERGY EFFICIENT: Increase energy efficiency within campus labs
2. WASTE REDUCTION: Reduce waste, increase recycling and reuse capacity within campus labs
3. GREEN PROCUREMENT: Increase green purchasing and procurement
Interested in being certified?
Our overall mission is to encourage green practices through education, specific suggestions for behavior change, physical
improvements for energy efficiency, and a comprehensive certification process for labs.
Simple Certification Process: Phase 1: Complete an Online Assessment (Less than 20 minutes)

Phase 2: Walk-through Evaluation (Less than 60 minutes)
