- From the Lab to the Marketplace
- Since the mid 1970s, DOE has invested some $70 million in research and development at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) for development of advanced energy-efficient building technologies, software, and standards. That investment has helped spawn a $2.4-billion U.S. market for key products—energy-efficient lighting and advanced window coatings—and efficiency standards for residential equipment and computerized tools for more efficient building design. By 1993 DOE's initial investment had reduced consumers' energy bills by an estimated $5 billion ($1.3 billion in 1993 alone). By 2015 we estimate that the products of that investment will save consumers $16 billion annually.
