Freezer Challenge Virtual Information Session

Description

Did you know that ultra-low temperature freezers consume as much electricity annually as a typical single-family home? Lower your lab's carbon footprint and challenge your cold storage practices by taking part in the Freezer Challenge. Learn more from the Office of Sustainability team at this virtual information session.

Supported by the International Institute for Sustainable Laboratories (I2SL) and My Green Lab, this challenge is designed to promote best practices in cold storage management for laboratories around the world. Harnessing spirit of competition, the Freezer Challenge encourages laboratories to achieve greater energy efficiency, sample integrity, and sample access.

The annual competition operates from Jan. 1 to July 1. The top Johns Hopkins winners will awarded a cash prize. In addition, the overall winner of the international challenge will be featured in Nature magazine and awarded during the annual I2SL conference.
