The entire environment of a laboratory, whether dedicated to research in life sciences, chemistry, analytics, or pharmacology, is extraordinarily interdisciplinary and requires expertise from sometimes diametrically opposed fields. The Handbook for Sustainable Laboratories is an indispensable planning aid that comprehensively addresses the success factors for sustainability in laboratory operations. It familiarizes the reader with all planning determinants within the chronological development of a laboratory project and provides details for the setup and technical building equipment, as well as for various specialized laboratories. The work also raises awareness regarding safety technology and puts established practices, such as those related to ventilation technology, to the test. At the same time, it outlines requirements for architecture.
