 energy use is dominated by the need to condition air for proper temperature and humidity conditions and to maintain safe and healthy environments by exhausting potentially hazardous air. Integrated energy efficiency design can reduce the high energy costs associated with these systems while meeting the demands of these specialized building types.

, yet easy to use building energy use analysis tool which provides professional-level results with an affordable level of effort.
This freeware tool was designed to allow you to perform detailed analysis of today's state-of-the-art building design technologies using today's most sophisticated building energy use simulation techniques but without requiring extensive experience in the "art" of building performance modeling. This is accomplished by combining a building creation wizard, an energy efficiency measure (EEM) wizard and a graphical results display module with an enhanced DOE-2-derived building energy use simulation program.

to design a high-performance laboratory building that uses very little energy while meeting comfort, health, safety and programmatic requirements. Laboratory buildings typically have very energyintensive heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) systems that operate 24 hours per day and use 100 percent outside air.

Institute in La Jolla, California, is a
123,000-square-foot laboratory and office building completed in 1999.
Among the energy efficiency measures included in the building are
systems for limiting energy waste associated with its 92 fume hoods and
its air handling, space conditioning, and lighting systems.

building stock, especially when considered in terms of energy intensity
and overall energy consumption. According to researchers at Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratories (LBNL), there are more than 50 million
square feet of laboratory-
type space in California alone. Energy intensities are often five times higher than
those found in other building types such as offices.
