Project
Autoclave Efficiency Project
Project Description
Recent studies have known some of the cons about autoclaves when it comes to waste of water and energy usage. This is due to the amount of water use to properly sterilize equipment and supplies and the amount of energy it takes to power the runs. The goal of this project is to decrease carbon emissions emitted by autoclaves on campus by finding solutions that can contribute to the reduction of the waste of water and the overuse of energy caused by the runs of autoclaves.
