Cal-Bay Equips Research Facility for Developing Green Building Technologies

SAN RAFAEL, CA-Cal-Bay Systems has teamed with the US Department of Energy (DOE) and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory to design, install and deploy sophisticated test, validation and measurement equipment in the DOE’s new Facility for Low Energy Experiments in Buildings, or FLEXLAB. The innovative facility provides researchers, manufacturers, developers, architects, engineers, contractors and utilities the resources needed to accurately field-test innovations in green building technologies and controls.

Cal-Bay was selected to build out the facility’s Advanced Data Acquisition and control systems to generate the accurate, unbiased data needed to refine energy-efficient components and systems for deployment in real-world conditions. The resulting advances promise a new generation of environmentally-friendly building technologies. They also provide utilities with the data needed to valuate incentives that speed consumer adoption.
