The fall issue of the EETD News covers, as usual, a wide variety of research in the energy sciences that crosses many disciplines, as well as a prominent award and a change in leadership. We congratulate our former Division Director Arun Majumdar on his becoming the first leader of the Department of Energy's ARPA-E, an agency created to fund high-risk, high-reward energy research. We also congratulate Ashok Gadgil on winning a Heinz Award, as well as assuming the office of Acting Director of the Environmental Energy Technologies Division. Another story in this issue reports on the first Recovery Act funding received in EETD, which will help us help federal agencies improve energy efficiency.
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.
