Biogen Idec Hosts Facilities Reception
Last month, members of BIOCOM, the International Facility Management Association (IFMA) and the International Society for Pharmaceutical Engineering (ISPE) joined together at Biogen Idec for BIOCOM's Annual Facilities Reception. The Facilities Reception is aimed at creating a comfortable environment that allows for facilities representatives from biotechnology and medical device companies to network with one another. The evening was a tremendous success with over 70 attendees and allowed for our members to join together for industry specific fellowship. BIOCOM would like to thank our reception sponsor's: Pegasus Clean Room Services, Sempra Energy, and Technical Safety Services, Inc.
Green Tip
According to the Environmental Protection Agency, "The buildings where we work, shop, play, and learn account for nearly half of the nation's energy use." The decisions we make as individuals in the workplace can make a significant improvement in the overall energy performance of a building and thus helps in the fight against climate change. There are many simple ways to save energy, from turning off your computer when not in use, to changing light bulbs to more energy efficient models and turning your office lights off while away.
