Technical Advisory Councils

Interested in getting in on the ground floor to help develop various aspects of the Labs2Zero program? There are a variety of Technical Advisory Councils (TACs) that have formed and are still adding new members or are in the process of forming to develop and review the various aspects of the Labs2Zero program, as described below. Volunteers must be an I2SL or SLCan member in good standing, or an employee of an active organizational I2SL member (such as a university, government, or private lab owner) and fill out an application to demonstrate they have the qualifications needed for the TAC.

​

Each TAC has a core group of voting members and potentially some subcommittee groups. Additionally in time, "Forum" meetings will be held approximately quarterly and are open to anyone interested without any requirement for I2SL membership. Forum participants are encouraged to review and comment on the work of the TAC. I2SL would like to thank all the current Labs2Zero volunteers consisting of the following core technical advisory council members.

​

If you are interested in applying to join the core group of one of our TACs please fill out this Google Volunteer Form. If you would like to be notified about upcoming Forum meetings please send an email to info@i2sl.org.

Energy Score TAC

Members with experience determining building EUI, or familiarity with lab energy usage requirements and alternatives, can volunteer to help develop the Labs2Zero scoring approach, including the factors affecting EUI and alternatives for reducing it.

Operational Emissions Score TAC

Volunteers with experience generating lab emissions inventories for and familiarity with sources of operational carbon are sought to serve on this TAC subcomittee.

Embodied Emissions Score TAC

This group will focus on understanding and benchmarking embodied emissions in lab facilities; I2SL is looking for members with experience inventorying and managing laboratory embodied carbon emissions in existing buildings and new construction.

Assessment and Design Tools TAC

To determine the report content and insights Labs2Zero will provide for existing and new buildings, I2SL is seeking volunteers with experience in and familiarity with energy and emissions reduction measure for labs, as well as those who understand building energy calculations, air quality/safety requirements, ventilation, and lab plug loads.

LBT Enhancement TAC

Members who have used the I2SL Lab Benchmarking Tool help suggest and review enhancements to the tool in support of the Labs2Zero program.
