The Environmental Stewardship & Sustainability office (ESS) created a Green Office Certification Program for buildings and labs around UW. The certification is voluntary and has 66 questions. Each question falls within a specific category such as water use, energy conservation, and chemical disposal. Upon completion of the survey, the ESS provides suggestions to help labs waste less. So far, the ESS’s Green Office Certification Program has approved only 36 offices.
