Our Research

We use a multidisciplinary approach to study the indoor environment effects on occupant outcome and building energy use. Researchers in our Group have backgrounds in engineering, sciences, economics, statistics and public health. We aim to improve the understanding of pollutants that impact the built environment, and energy-efficient strategies to better indoor air quality.

California Residential Methane Emissions Characterization (CARMEC) Study

Berkeley Lab is conducting a field study, funded by the California Energy Commission, to gather data on methane emissions from gas appliances. We are partnering with Richard Heath & Associates, Inc. (RHA) and community based organizations to recruit California homes to participate in this research study. To learn more, please visit our CARMEC study page.
