ERFORMANCE OF
UILDINGS GROUP
The Energy Performance of Buildings group (EPB) works on problems associated with whole-building integration involving modeling, measurement, design and operation. Most of its tasks have focused on the movement of air and associated penalties involving distribution of pollutants, energy and fresh air. The major research areas of the group fall into three categories: residential research, non-residential research, and standards research and development. The group also has extensive laboratory and field facilities.
In addition to these projects the EPB Staff has worked extensively with other projects around the Laboratory including those related to the Federal Energy Management Program of DOE, LBNL's Building Performance Assurance project and the California Institute for Energy Efficiency.
This group is part of the
Indoor Environment Department
which is in the Environmental
Energy Technologies Division (as well as the
Center for Building Science)
of the
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
