On January 10鈥擟ut Your Energy Costs Day鈥擯SEG Long Island recognized 黑料吃瓜资源鈥檚 (CSHL鈥檚) ongoing sustainability initiatives with $279,000 in rebates. These efforts are part of CSHL鈥檚 Foundations for the Future expansion project. Recent improvements include the installation of new, energy-efficient heating and cooling systems, LED lighting, battery backups, and submeters throughout the Laboratory鈥檚 idyllic main campus.
鈥淭his initiative goes to the heart of our mission,鈥� CSHL COO John Tuke says. 鈥淪cience is becoming increasingly data-based. We need to store and analyze billions and billions of bits of data. It takes a lot of energy. Our sustainability projects are not only helping with the efficiency of our operations. They鈥檙e allowing for more scientific research.鈥�
Energy efficiency is especially important for the Laboratory鈥檚 cutting-edge NeuroAI program. A single experiment has the potential to generate massive amounts of data, CSHL Assistant Professor David Klindt says.
鈥淲e鈥檙e using AI to understand how the brain and diseases work,鈥� he explains. 鈥淭his is an exciting mission, but it takes a lot of resources. It鈥檚 only sustainable if we think about where the resources are coming from and set them up in a way that鈥檚 reliable. This PSEG program is helping us achieve our sustainability goals while pushing the frontiers of science and building a better place for future generations.鈥�
