By changing slightly some daily habits, we can contribute to reduce the consumption of energy at our labs, thus help to protect the environment. There is a series of good practices that we can carry out and, in this way, actively contribute to reducing energy consumption. IBEC will promote the adoption of measures to save energy, by setting up an awareness campaign with daily routines to save energy.
Switch off computers/screens and light in the offices
Energy saving. Avoid using air conditioning or heat and always try to set temperatures that consume less energy
