| Lighting in Buildings. Methods and Tools for Efficient Lighting Design These 4-hour workshops held in Hawaii explored cutting edge methods and tools available to lighting and other design professionals, and industry representatives to design effective, creative, low energy luminous environments. |
| Architecture . Energy . 2011 A workshop on energy efficient and high performance building. Participants from top Japanese offices worked with L+U to imagine different ways of conceiving low-energy architecture in the wake of the Fukushima earthquake and nuclear disaster. |
| Building Performance Dashboard A dashboard to display building performance data for a variety of audiences, from the casual occupant to the enganged manager. |
| Building Performance Monitoring Design and installation of custom manufactured components including a weather station and sensor arrays to provide data points to track energy use, system performance, heat distribution, and variables related to occupant comfort. |
| Residential Energy and Comfort A set of data processing and data visualization tools that give designers and builders quick feedback for assessing design alternatives for the high performance home. |
| Zero-Energy House Ten years of research went into the production of California's first zero-energy single family house designed to use no air-conditioning in the Central Valley, a climate with severe diurnal temperature swings. |
