From the Lab to the Marketplace:
LBNL's Broader Role in the Buildings Energy Arena
After the Cold War, in a Warming World
The end of the cold war, the Administration's new energy programs, and various initiatives by
states and utilities have created new challenges and opportunities for the national laboratories.
The U.S. produces one-quarter of the world's "greenhouse-gas" emissions. Laboratory
efforts that have focused on achieving emissions reductions include participating in the
prestigious National Academy of Sciences "Mitigation Panel" on climate change and
contributing to the Administration's Energy Partnerships for a Strong Economy program
(the "cool communities" action was developed at LBNL). We also assist DOE in developing
and implementing its international energy-policy activities related to climate-change
mitigation.
