LBL Currents -- August 12, 1994

CIEE Conference highlights fruits of collaboration

By Jeffery Kahn, [email protected]

Six years ago, researchers in LBL's Energy and Environment Division helped establish an unusual collaboration that joined California's utilities with researchers at colleges, universities, and laboratories around the state. Two weeks ago, the fruits of this effort were apparent when the California Institute for Energy Efficiency (CIEE) conducted its fourth annual conference in Berkeley.

The conference brought together CIEE researchers from throughout the state who are involved in a broad program devoted to energy efficiency and related air quality issues. In addition to the exchange of information that took place between researchers, the conference also gave utility professionals, policy makers, and regulators a look at the new technologies being explored by CIEE. Likewise, the conference showcased new information about the state's energy-related environmental problems and new approaches to dealing with them.

CIEE Director Jim Cole of the E&E Division gave the opening remarks at the conference, which also featured three keynote speakers.

Norm Bryan, chair of the CIEE Board and PG&E vice president, spoke about the future of the utility industry and the role of R&D in helping to serve future customer needs. In his address, C. Judson King, vice provost of the University of California (and LBL researcher), identified CIEE as a model for university, industry and government collaboration to develop new end-use efficiency technology that benefits California residents and the nation as a whole. Peter Fox-Penner, DOE principal deputy assistant secretary for Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy, congratulated CIEE on its accomplishments in developing and demonstrating new end-use efficiency technologies.

E&E researcher Haider Taha provided new analyatic insights into the effects of the "Cool Communities" Initiative. The project, now a key component of President Clinton's Climate Change Action Plan, proposes to cool hot cities by increasing the number of trees and by replacing dark-colored roofs and roads with white surfaces. This should lower air temperatures, reduce air-conditioning needs, and improve air quality.

Taha modeled the effect of this proposed project on California's South Coast Air Basin. His results quantify the effects of increased vegetative cover and white surfaces on air temperature and urban ozone concentrations in the basin. The model shows that feasible increases in the reflectivity of building roofs, parking lots, roads, and other surfaces within the air basin would reduce temperatures between 1 and 2 degrees C and reduce overall ozone concentrations by 20 parts per billion.

E&E's Mark Modera discussed what is being discovered about improving the air distribution systems in both residential and commercial buildings. He said past studies show that the air leakage and conduction losses from a typical residential duct system can be as high as 20 to 40 percent of the energy used for cooling. To remedy this, Modera has designed and performed lab tests of a system that can be used to seal duct leaks from the inside. The technology, which should cut duct-sealing costs in half, is being patented by LBL.

Steve Selkowitz, LBL's Building Technologies program leader, discussed how an integrated approach to the design of commercial buildings can make them more efficient. He noted that a range of tools--including energy-efficient lighting, glazing, daylighting controls, and architectural design software--are now available. However, Selkowitz said, these tools have the greatest impact when they are employed as a package rather than piecemeal.

Researchers currently are involved in a multi-year project to develop an integrated system where the components work synergistically. This not only maximizes the benefits but minimizes the necessary architectural and engineering efforts.

A number of other LBL researchers spoke at the conference. They included Nancy Brown, David Faulkner, William Fisk, Helmut Feustel, Nance Matson, Joe Huang, Francis Rubinstein, Guoping Li, Jeronimo Garay, Greg Traynor, Michael Rubin, Deborah Hopkins, Corina Stetiu, and Jan Maurer.

The CIEE partnership includes the California Energy Commission, the California Public Utilities Commission, the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Pacific Gas & Electric, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District, Southern California Edison, Southern California Gas, and the U.S. Department of Energy.

"Partners for Profit" Conference to match researchers, business executives

Regional business exposure to LBL and opportunities to develop industrial collaborations for specific research projects are on tap next month at an event called "Partnerships for Profit."

LBL is one of the primary co-sponsors of a two-day "interactive" conference during which scientists will be matched with business executives to discuss ways in which companies can participate in and benefit from the development of new technologies. The conference, which starts on Thursday, Sept. 8, will be held at the Red Lion Hotel and Inn in San Jose. On September 9, attendees will tour selected research facilities, including LBL.

LBL researchers are needed as participants in the conference's concurrent breakout sessions on September 8, starting at 1:15 pm. Scientists willing to meet with business executives who have expressed interest in their field of research should contact Susan Weintraub in LBL's Technology Transfer Department at X5947. Participants should have expertise in one of the following areas:

Advanced Materials

Information Technology

Electronics/Sensors/Photonics

Advanced Manufacturing

Biotechnology

Summing it up

Forty-three college students presented details of their 10-week science projects at a poster session held in the cafeteria on August 3. The projects, which involved working with LBL scientists, were completed through the Center for Science and Engineering Education's Summer Student Research Program, coordinated by Laurel Egenberger. The students were from institutions across the United States and Puerto Rico.

New advisory group to survey cafeteria clientele

The week of August 15-19, members of a new LBL cafeteria advisory group will be on hand to distribute a survey to employees who use the cafeteria. The purpose of the survey is to obtain customer feedback that can be used to improve cafeteria operations. All employees who use the cafeteria are encouraged to complete the survey during their mealtime and return it to one of the group members.

If you will not be at the cafeteria next week but wish to complete a survey, please contact Sue Yoshioka (X5211) to receive a copy. Results of the survey will be published in early September.

DOE, TEXAS SETTLE:

The Department of Energy and the State of Texas have reached a settlement of the state's claims arising from last year's cancellation of the SSC. DOE has agreed to pay Texas $210 million, which is less than half of the $539 million the state sought. The agreement includes a cash payment of $145 million, plus a $65 million grant to pay for completion of the SSC's Linac, which Texas plans to use for proton-beam treatments of cancer and for the production of medical radioisotopes.

NEW NATIONAL SCIENCE POLICY:

President Clinton has announced a new national science policy that pledges to maintain "world leadership in basic science, mathematics, and engineering." The Clinton pledge moves away from the winning-the-cold-war rationale that has been the basis of Federal support for science for the past 50 years and instead focuses on strengthening science to serve "core national interests." These core interests range from improved health care and a stronger economy to "ennobling the human spirit" through deeper understanding of the natural world. Clinton called on the nation to boost government and industry support for science by 15 percent, which would put spending as a percentage of the GNP on a par with funding levels in Japan and Germany. Though acknowledging the need for more spending, the President said there will be little added money for research until the government's fiscal condition improves.

IN PRINT:

Sarah Tolbert and Paul Alivisatos of LBL's Materials Sciences Division and UC Berkeley's Department of Chemistry have authored an article appearing in the July 15 issue of Science titled, "Size Dependence of a First-Order Solid-Solid Phase Transition: The Wurtzite to Rock Salt Transformation in CdSe Nanocrystals."

WHAT ON EARTH IS LBL DOING?

Representatives of the Energy and Environment Division have designed a program titled "What on Earth is LBL Doing?" for the UC Berkeley Museum of Art, Science & Culture at Blackhawk. The hands-on demonstration is part of the museum's "Greenhouse Earth" exhibit and lecture series, and will feature the Laboratory's latest research on energy efficiency. Michael Wilde of the Center for Building Science organized the program in which the following researchers will discuss and display the latest in energy efficient alternatives: Michael Siminovitch (compact fluorescent lighting), Brent Griffith and Ian Sundly (superwindows, gas-filled panels, infrared thermography), Paul Berdahl (heat islands in urban centers), and Deb Hopkins (automobile window glazings). The program is scheduled for Sunday, Aug. 15 at 2 p.m., and is free with admission to the museum. The address is 3700 Blackhawk Plaza Circle, Danville (736-2280).

MINORITY CONTRACTS SOAR:

DOE contracts with minorities and women-owned companies will soar to nearly $2 billion this fiscal year, according to Department figures. This substantially exceeds the $712 million awarded to such companies in FY92. The rise reflects the committment of Energy Secretary Hazel O'Leary to diversity in conducting DOE business. O'Leary released the contract figures at a press conference in Washington last week to unveil DOE's new "Strategic Plan for Diversity." The new plan not only renounces discrimination, it also advocates professional and business opportunities for individuals regardless of race, religion, age and other circumstances.

Date set for Runaround XVII

It's time to mark your calendars for the 17th Annual LBL Runaround, to take place at noon on Friday, Sept. 16. Many volunteers are already at work preparing for the 3.0-kilometer (1.86 mile) run, in which more than 700 employees participated last year.

Watch Currents in the coming weeks for course map and other information. There will be no entry form required this year.

For more information, contact LBL Recreation Coordinator Kathleen Handron (X5474), or Steve Derenzo, Runaround course coordinator (X4097).
