Congratulations to EETD Division Director Ashok Gadgil, winner of the Zayed Future Energy Prize lifetime achievement award, about which you can read in this issue. We also present research on how energy efficiency program managers can better reach middle-income families, and perhaps help them reduce their energy bills through home energy improvements. Other research covered in this issue: measuring particulate emissions from trucks at the Port of Oakland, and a Berkeley Lab contribution to the science supporting corporate average fuel economy standards—an analysis of how reducing vehicle weight affects safety.

EETD News reports on research conducted at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory's Environmental Energy Technologies Division, whose mission is to perform research and development leading to better energy technologies that reduce adverse energy-related environmental impacts. The Division's staff of nearly 400 conducts research on energy efficiency in buildings, indoor environmental quality, U.S. and international energy issues, and advanced energy technologies. The newsletter is published online once a quarter. For more information, contact Allan ChenAllan Chen, (510) 486-4210.
The Center for Building Science News was published between 1993 and 1998. It covered news of the Division's research in energy efficiency and buildings, the indoor environment, and energy analysis. You'll find all back issues, from Winter 1993 through Summer 1998, available here.
