  • About Us +

    Researchers in the Building & Industrial Energy Systems Division (BIES) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory work closely with industry, government and key decision makers to inform and develop building and industrial energy systems that increase energy efficiency, save money and improve health and safety for building occupants.

    The BIES Division engages in innovative and creative research to advance energy efficiency in the built environment, one of the world's most critical energy and environmental challenges because buildings are the world's largest energy-users.
