Tools and models to find the best way to
save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions in cities and
industries, to follow the transport of pollutants through the
environment, and to calculate the cost of power interruptions are among
those available on a new Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
(Berkeley Lab) web site.
The site brings together models and simulation tools developed by
the Energy Analysis and Environmental Impacts (EAEI) Department of the
Lab’s Environmental Energy Technologies Division.
“Our hope is that the site will facilitate greater technical awareness
of the many analytical tools we have developed over the years,
potentially leading to new opportunities for cooperation among
stakeholders and sponsors,” said Charles H. Goldman, Leader of the
Energy Analysis and Environmental Impacts Department.
The site lists tools according to research area (technology
environment, economics), the relevant energy sector (buildings,
industry, power transportation, cross-sector).
A search tool in the left hand margin of the page allows users to
search for relevant tools by research area, sector, and the type of
user who might be interested in the tool: industry practitioners,
academic institutions, policy makers, state regulators, and utilities.
By checking off the boxes under area, sector, and user type (or
research group within the Department), the user can create a customized
list of tools geared to his or her own interests.
The search tool helps users go directly to the tool with the
capabilities they need, rather than search through a variety of pages.
The
variety of tools available is broad and reflects the work conducted by
dozens of researchers in the EAEI Department over many years of effort.
Included in the 40 available tools are a tool for analyzing distributed
energy resources, a utilities tariff analysis, a tool for analyzing
energy-efficient retrofit alternatives for commercial buildings, and
tools for analyzing the energy efficiency gains and greenhouse gas
reductions of various types of measures in a variety of industries
including pulp and paper, steel, and textiles.
