Shares 0 The U.S. Department of Energy’s Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (Berkeley Lab), a world leader in technologies for energy-efficient buildings, has agreed to work with Singapore as that island nation pursues energy conservation and climate mitigation policies.
Specifically, Singapore is looking to Berkeley Lab’s FLEXLAB as it endeavors to build its own facility for testing building technologies. Like a life-size set of building blocks, FLEXLAB (Facility for Low Energy Experiments in Buildings), the first of its kind in both size and scope, will allow researchers and manufacturers to test building systems and components under “real-world” conditions by swapping out systems and changing configurations and then conducting rigorous monitoring of performance of every key building element that impacts energy consumption and building performance.

16, 2012, Berkeley Lab Deputy Director Horst Simon signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the head of Singapore’s Building and Construction Authority (BCA), whose mandate covers the development of the built environment in Singapore, establishing a framework for collaborative projects in a number of areas related to building technologies. “Berkeley Lab’s building research team has been leading the way for decades in developing technologies to improve building performance and achieve huge energy savings,” said Ashok Gadgil, director of Berkeley Lab’s Environmental Energy Technologies Division (EETD). “We are excited about the opportunity to exchange concepts and expertise with those pursuing similar goals around the world.” Construction of, a project of EETD, begins this fall and is scheduled to be completed in 2013. Buildings account for about 40 percent of the nation’s greenhouse gas emissions and 70 percent of U.S. Electricity consumption; advanced building technologies offer the potential for dramatic energy savings—up to 80 percent for new construction and 60 percent for retrofits. “As we look towards technologies to push green buildings towards higher energy efficiency, this partnership and knowledge exchange will bring adaptable green building solutions faster into the marketplace for different climates,” said John Keung, CEO of the Building and Construction Authority, who led a Singapore delegation at the signing ceremony. Because Singapore is heavily dependent on its neighbors for energy and other resources, the government has adopted energy efficiency as a key strategy to meet its energy needs while reducing carbon emissions and combating climate change.
