If Buildings Could Tell Us What’s Wrong

Berkeley Lab scientists are developing methods of applying Fault Detection and Diagnostics to rapidly diagnose problems in buildings and inform human operators what needs to be fixed.
Building Technology and Urban Systems Division (BTUS)

BTUS works closely with industry to develop technologies for buildings that increase energy efficiency while improving the comfort, health, and safety of building occupants.
Energy Analysis and Environmental Impacts Division (EAEI)

EAEI researches energy use, including studying energy consumption patterns and energy efficiency standards and indoor air quality.
Energy Storage and Distributed Resources Division (ESDR)

ESDR researches ways to provide the electricity grid with storage capability for energy from renewable sources; real-time monitoring and response for the "smart grid"; and technologies for improved electricity distribution reliability.
FLEXLAB®

The Facility for Low Energy eXperiments in Buildings (FLEXLAB®) allows users to test energy-efficient building systems, before buildings are built.
