Labs21 currently offers two one-day courses that introduce strategies for designing and constructing sustainable laboratories in both new and existing facilities. One course covers introductory topics, while the other is more advanced, designed for those who have already taken the introductory course. The courses, which cover topics ranging from the architecture of high-performance laboratories to the energy efficient design process, are taught by seasoned laboratory designers, energy managers, and facilities professionals.

Labs21 also offers two half-day courses that cover specific topics in sustainable engineering and design. The courses are specific to Environmental Performance Criteria (EPC) and Operations and Maintenence (O&M). They each delve further into the sustainable laboratory design principles and provide attendees a more focused look at sustainable practices.
