Large Power Savings Found in Automated Demand Response Tests
During summer 2004, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) researchers used two different kinds of technology, a price signal sent over the Internet to facility computers, and a hard-wired Internet relay box, to test automated demand response.
Climate Change and the Insurance Industry
The insured portion of the world’s total economic losses from weather-related catastrophes is rising, from a negligible fraction during the 1950s to 25 percent during the past decade, according to a scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory’s Environmental Energy Technologies Division (EETD).
EETD Evaluates China's Energy-Strategy Options
During the last two decades of the twentieth century, China quadrupled its gross domestic product (GDP) and pulled 50 million people out of poverty but the nation’s energy consumption only doubled during this period.
Groundbreaking Computer Simulation Work Published
Computational and combustion scientists in two divisions of the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab) have earned national recognition in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) with a cover article about groundbreaking computer simulations of turbulent flames.
Harnessing Wind Energy in Eritrea
At the southern tip of the Red Sea, a constriction formed between two mountain ranges funnels wind onto the shores of Eritrea, a small African nation wedged between the sea and Ethiopia.
Berkeley and Sandia Labs Airport Protection Guidelines
A report developed by a joint team of researchers from the Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) and Sandia National Laboratories (Sandia) is being distributed to airport executives and emergency planners, and will aid security managers of airports and other transportation facilities reduce the risk of chemical and biological attacks.
Technology Transfer: Berkeley Lab Miniaturized Sensor
Measuring micrometer and submicrometer aerosol properties is important for understanding adverse health effects resulting from human exposure to aerosols; however, available techniques and instrumentation are generally complex and expensive.
