Berkeley Lab Directs Energy-Efficiency Initiative
With the hopes of making a dent in the nation's annual $100 billion energy bill for commercial buildings, scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are heading up a three-year public/private research initiative.
With the hopes of making a dent in the nation’s annual $100 billion energy bill for commercial buildings, scientists from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are heading up a three-year public/private research initiative.
The program’s main objective is to develop new information technologies in the following five areas to improve the design, commissioning and operation of buildings:
Life-cycle tools.
Lighting, envelopes and daylighting, including controls for lighting and ventilation systems.
Low-energy cooling to minimize peak and annual cooling needs in buildings.
Integrated commissioning and daignostics.
Indoor air quality.
