[. . . ] The typical laboratory is about five times to as much as ten times as energy intensive as a typical office building and costs about three times as much per unit area. Any effort to reduce energy use and environmental impact are heavily influenced by special functional and health and safety requirements, which need to be considered in rating and benchmarking the overall environmental performance of a laboratory. Elements of the SANYO ULT design that reflect GREEN initiatives include: · CFC Free Refrigerants · RoHS Compliance · Energy Efficiency · Noise Reduction · Operating Costs · High Density Storage · Storage Volume Efficiency SANYO V. I. P® Ultra Low temperature freezers offer the most . [. . . ] SANYO has included advanced noise abatement in all contemporary ultra-low freezers and noise reduction levels are well below those of competitive freezers. ISO 14001 Environmental Standard - This standard is applicable to any organization that wishes to implement, maintain and improve an environmental management system

SANYO GREEN Ultra Low Freezers
As part of our global commitment to help the environment, SANYO took the initiative to revamp and redesign newer refrigeration systems that resulted in lower operating costs and efficiency (Chart 1). SANYO ultra low freezers provide energy savings while minimizing carbon footprint throughout the laboratory without compromising performance (Chart 2). SANYO GREEN Benefits: · Minimize carbon footprint with less impact on the environment. · Maximized lab space with smaller footprint for ultra high density storage. · Reduced operational costs through high storage volume efficiency. · Minimized HVAC loads and air handling requirements in facilities. · Emits less heat into the laboratory environment, minimizing air conditioning costs.

to assure itself of its conformance with its own stated environmental policy. Electrical Standards - All SANYO products including ultralow temperature freezers are tested and certified by SGS NRTL (National Recognized Testing Laboratory) to assure compliance with US and International standards for electrical safety prescribed in 29 CFR 1910. 7( c ). RoHS Compliance - RoHS relates to the restriction of hazardous substances (i. e. lead, cadmium, mercury, chromium 6+, PBB and PBDE) and reductions in environmental pollution. All SANYO ultra-low freezers and components are now 100% compliant to RoHS standards.
Criteria for Energy Efficient Laboratory Equipment
Whether your facility is seeking LEED certification or incorporating more sustainable practices, SANYO offers laboratory equipment to provide a more energy efficient environment
· Lower energy use More research buildings are conforming and adopting to energy conscious directives such as LEEDs with the recommendation of energy efficient lab equipment · Efficient space utilization Biomedical High density storage is strongly advocated as lab design is focusing on making researchers share ULT storage space. · Selecting energy efficient and low-demand lab equipment is thus one of the most effective and immediate ways to reduce energy consumption. · Energy, electrical and ventilation systems can benefit from recapture and reuse potentials.

How is SANYO conscious of the need to protect our environment and conserve energy?
This commitment was demonstrated when SANYO took the initiative to revamp and redesign newer refrigeration systems that would employ new, environmentally-friendly refrigerants throughout the laboratory without compromising performance. "Think GREEN, Think GAIA" expresses SANYO's commitment to run its business and product development in a way that recognizes the need to protect the environment and conserve energy. SANYO's focus on "green products" is expressed through more efficient motor operation with reduced energy consumption in their ultra low freezers. As a corporate pioneer in the life science and commercial equipment industries, and a global source of solutions ranging from energy management to solar power and alternative energies, SANYO remains committed to providing the best possible laboratory equipment for research and clinical needs.
