Indoor Environment Program, FY 1987 Annual Report
LBL is a major center of building science research. An important part of that research is the environment defined by the building -- the major focus of the work of the Indoor Environment Program. The Program examines the scientific issues associated with the design and operation of buildings to optimize building energy performance and occupant comfort and health. Optimizing health and comfort of occupants is addressed in different ways by the groups that comprise the Program. The Energy Performance of Buildings Group examines energy flow through all elements of the building shell. It measures air infiltration rates, studies thermal characteristics of structural elements, and develops models of the behavior of complete buildings. The potential for savings in the infiltration area is great. The heat load associated with natural infiltration is about 2.5 quads/yr costing about $15 billion annually. It may be economic to reduce this by 25%.
