Cairns, E J; Rosenfeld, A H

The Center for Building Science consists of four programs in the Applied Science Division: energy analysis, buildings energy systems, windows and lighting, and indoor environment. It was established to provide an umbrella so that goups in different programs but with similar interests could combine to perform joint research, develop new research areas, share resources, and produce joint publications. As detailed below, potential savings for the U.S. society from energy efficient buildings are enormous. But these savings can only be realized through an expanding federal RandD program that develops expertise in this new area. The Center for Building Science develops efficient new building componenets, computer models, data and information systems, and trains needed builidng scientists. 135 refs., 72 figs., 18 tabs.
