The Energy Efficient Buildings Program at LBL was established to accelerate the capture of $75 billion potential annual savings. In 1973, we spent about $7.5 million on this research, i.e., about $1 for every $10,000 of potential savings, or the equivalent of advancing the ultimate savings by 1 hour each year. We report contributions to science and technology leading to actual advancements measured not in hours, but in months, and in many cases in years. The Energy Efficient Buildings Program conducts theoretical and experimental research on various aspects of building technology that will permit such gains in energy efficiency without decreasing occupants' comfort or adversely affecting indoor air quality. To accomplish this goal, it has developed five major research groups whose findings and achievements are regularly reported in technical and scientific journals, presented at international conferences, and disseminated as Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory (LBL) reports.
