Pictured is a state-of-the-art Genetech Building, which FLEXLAB helped make energy efficient.
Join us for a design tour of the latest in Berkeley Lab’s long line of game-changing energy efficiency innovations.
The Department of Energy's FLEXLAB at Berkeley Lab is the most flexible, comprehensive and advanced building efficiency simulator in the world, and is unleashing the full potential of improved energy efficiency in buildings. FLEXLAB lets users test energy-efficient building systems individually or as an integrated system, under real-world conditions.
FLEXLAB test beds can monitor and assess HVAC, lighting, windows, building envelope, control systems, and plug loads, in any combination. Users can test alternatives, perform cost-benefit analyses, and ensure a building will be as efficient as possible — before construction or retrofitting even begins.
Following the tour of FLEXLAB, we will tour Chu Hall, a solar energy research facility designed by SmithGroupJJR.
There will be a shuttle available to tour-goers that picks up in downtown Berkeley (Shattuck and Addison near BART). Tour-goers must be on time as the group will shuttle together to the lab. Shuttle information can be found here.
