Why Focus on Laboratories? • Laboratories are energy intensive • On a square foot basis, labs often consume five to ten times as much energy as a typical office building • Most existing labs can reduce energy use by 30% or more with existing technology • Important to California High Tech Industry (and schools) • Labs are not typically speculative buildings
Laboratory Research Activities • Energy Efficiency Success at LBNL • Formulation of Applications Team (A-Team) • Research Roadmap developed for PIER • Performance Metrics and Benchmarking • Low Pressure Drop Air Distribution Design • Laboratory Design Guide • Laboratory Design Intent Tool • High Performance Fume Hood • Fume Hood Calculator
Labs21 Activities • Primary Deployment Mechanism • Technical Support for Labs21 • Industry Partnerships • Training programs • Tool Kit • Benchmarking
Meeting Goals • Awareness • Formulate strategy for greater integration from R&D to Deployment
