CU Green Labs is a resource for CU Boulder on laboratory freezer topics. Labs often reach out regarding freezer failures, sharing opportunities, purchase suggestions for energy-efficient units and other issues. During times of crisis, we provide labs with -20 ⁰C mobile freezers or help them line up space in other freezers in their department while they deal with the critical freezer problem. 

By facilitating freezer solutions, we can connect labs to freezer-sharing opportunities and provide monetary incentives from Facilities Management toward energy-efficient units. Laboratories can save research dollars, and the university also saves money. These efforts help CU Boulder work toward university sustainability goals for energy conservation. The incentives CU Green Labs offers are made available by Facilities Management and can apply to other equipment types beyond freezers, such as biosafety cabinets, incubators and vacuum pumps.
