Lab,
Winery Will
Develop Energy Tool
Berkeley
Lab researchers Ernst Worrell and Christina
Galitsky will receive support from the Food Industry
Energy Research Program of the California Energy Commission
to develop a process-based benchmarking tool for self-assessment
of energy efficiency and water-efficiency opportunities
in wineries. They will work with Fetzer Vineyards of Hopland
to develop the tool, which should help reduce the industry’s
consumption of over 400 Gigawatt-hours of electricity
annually, second largest in the state’s food industry.
Worrell and Galitsky are in the Environmental Energy Technologies
Division. |

Attacks Anti-Science
By
Thomas R. DeGregori
Those
who promote an anti-modern agenda have a number of glib
retorts that often carry the crowd in a debate —
even when they don't have the facts on their side. Some
of these retorts are repeated so often that they seem
to be part of a Luddite catechism for the believers.
Many of these pithy pronouncements concern the alleged
earlier sins of scientists and engineers or their creations.
(DeGregori, a member of the American Council on Science
and Health Board of Directors, takes on anti-science
activists in a commentary here.)

UPTE
Cards Reviewed;
‘99’ Jobs Still Uncertain
As
noted in the June 9 edition of Today at Berkeley
Lab, the University Professional and Technical Employees
union (UPTE) has asked the Public Employment Relations
Board (PERB) for a ballot to represent Administrative
and Professional staff. PERB is now analyzing the cards
of support submitted by UPTE to determine if the required
30 percent is achieved to qualify for an election. In
the meantime, the range of positions possibly affected
by this election spans a wide variety of job titles.
See the potentially impacted job list, plus a discussion
of the next steps in the process, here. |

| Requests
for Ergo
Evaluations Go Online
Now
it is easier to request computer workstation ergonomic
evaluations without having to make multiple phone
calls or send e-mails. An on-line request system
is now operational. Visit the EH&S Ergonomics
webpage here,
click on "EVAL REQUEST" and enter your
LDAP name and password. On the screen that follows,
identify the reason for the evaluation and submit.
Once a request is forwarded, an e-mail will be sent
to the assigned ergonomic evaluator asking to schedule
an appointment with you. Contact Jeffrey Chung
at x5818 with questions. |
