Residential Buildings
The Residential Building Systems (RBS) group works on problems associated with residential building integration involving modeling, measurement, design, and operation. Our research predominantly focuses on Energy Affordability in homes together with Indoor Air Quality, Moisture and Health.
Take This Short Survey to
Help Improve Residential Electrical Work
Do you have knowledge about residential electrical panel or service work and want to help reduce the costs or address other challenges?
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (LBNL) is conducting a short survey to gather information. We are looking for responses from:
- Contractors who do electrical work, electrical load calculations, and electrical service work
- Engineers who design or inspect residential electrical systems
- Utility staff with knowledge of electrical service requirements, extensions and loads
- Building department staff who review plans, issue permits, perform inspections, or otherwise interact with electrical upgrades occurring in residential buildings
Survey Details:
- The survey should take approximately 20 minutes to complete.
- Participation is voluntary, and you can opt out at any time.
- You will receive a $25 eGift card if you are one of the first 200 respondents to complete all study requirements.

Join Us in Understanding more about Methane Emissions in California!
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), in collaboration with Richard Heath & Associates, Inc. (RHA), is conducting an exciting study to measure methane emissions from gas appliances and distribution systems in homes across California.
We need your help! We're looking for homes with specific gas appliances like outdoor grills, pool/spa heaters, fireplaces, and tankless water heaters in the Peninsula, South Bay, East Bay, and along the I-680 up to Fairfield/Napa.
Why Participate? Contribute to a low-emission California by helping us understand and reduce methane emissions.
💳 Receive a $60 gift card for the measurement visit and potentially an additional $50 for completing 2-3 weeks of gas appliance usage monitoring.
