Skip to main content. Automated dynamic window systems for improved energy efficiency, comfort, and indoor environmental quality. While static window technologies provide practical low-cost technological options to manage both space conditioning and lighting energy use, automated fenestration systems offer the potential for greater, more optimized total energy savings in response to variable conditions. The dynamic range of outdoor illuminance and irradiance is orders of magnitude greater than the de...

Skip to main content. David Blum is a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Building Technology and Urban Systems Division. His research focuses on the development and implementation of next-generation computational tools for buildings operating in isolation or within broader energy networks. The majority of this work is applied to model predictive control (MPC), where a model of building performance can be used to optimize its energy consumption, occupant service, and energy network interactions.

Economic Comparison of White, Green, and Black Flat Roofs in the United States. Economic Comparison of White, Green, and Black Flat Roofs in the United States. Benjamin H. Mandel. And Arthur H. Rosenfeld. Life-cycle cost analysis (LCCA). And green roofs have a negative NS of $71/m. Despite lasting at least twice as long as white or black roofs, green roofs cannot compensate for their installation cost premium. However, while the 50-year NS of white roofs compared to green roofs is $96/m.

The benefits of cool surfaces are not restricted to buildings and cities; the higher solar reflectance of cool surfaces results in less thermal emittance into the atmosphere, meaning that cool surfaces can help to cool the Earth. (Image courtesy of Heat Island Group, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory). A Solution: Cool Surfaces. Cool roofs and pavements represent a far simpler geo-engineering approach that has a proven record of efficacy. Existing technologies can increase urban surface albedo. SR), ...

USA TODAY cites California's cool pavements bill (AB296) as leading example of nation's best climate preparedness. Wednesday, October 8, 2014. By Wendy Koch, USA TODAY. California has completed the highest number of goals to prepare for climate change, followed by Massachusetts and New York, according to a first-of-its-kind 50-state tracking tool unveiled Thursday. There's definitely a lot of work going on," says Vicki Arroyo, executive director of the Georgetown Climate Center. "People can now see h...
