A staple in almost every biology lab is an Ultra Low Temperature (ULT) freezer that stores samples at -80F. There are hundreds of these freezers around the university, and each one can use up to five times the energy of a standard residential refrigerator.
The Energy Retrofit Program (ERP) program offers rebates for labs to purchase high-efficiency compressor-based or liquid nitrogen freezers as either replacement or new purchases. View the table below to see maximum rebate amounts for different types of freezer models:
The School of Medicine turns smart energy projects into lasting savings, with the help of energy rebates offered through Stanford’s Facilities Energy Management team, leading to over $2.7 million in annual savings for the university.
Stanford and Green Sports Alliance partner to advance sustainability leadership across collegiate athletics.
Reuse thrives at the School of Engineering with the help of Kevin Manalili, Director of Facilities Planning, and his team.
