Sub-project Laboratories

Status as of September 2026:
The qualitative survey questionnaire has been reviewed with various experts and is now available in its revised form. The technical implementation for validating access data has been finalised, and validation is scheduled to take place in the second half of September. In addition, initial analyses of equipment reservations (duration and frequency) for over 150 devices over the last 20 years are now available. The approach involving smart electricity meter readings is being pursued and examined in detail.

Status as of July 2026:
An on-site visit took place, on the basis of which the questionnaire for the survey in Q3 2026 will be revised/supplemented. At the same time, possibilities for measurements are being clarified (smart meters, device logs, further analysis of existing data).

Status as of June 2026:
A quote has been obtained for an external survey (auftakt and IPN Laborprojekt). The survey is scheduled to take place at the DBMR in Q3. Equipment categorisation and the analysis of equipment usage will continue to be carried out internally at DBMR.

Status as of April 2026:
A second analysis of entry data is available for the building Murtenstrasse 24–28, and the data has been regarded as plausible. An on-site validation is planned to compare the actual entries with the badge data. In addition, equipment reservations are currently being analysed.

Status as of February 2026:
The concept is currently being developed and initial tests of measurement methods are being carried out. First test analysis of entry data has been completed.
In January, the project progress and procedure were presented to the respective commission of the Grand Council of the Canton of Bern, in accordance with the requirements.

Status as of November 2025:
The sub-project Laboratories was launched in October 2025.
It involves close cooperation with the Department for BioMedical Research (DBMR).
