DESCRIPTION:Arun Majumdar, Director, Environmental Energy Technologies Division, 
 Berkeley Lab\n\nImagine a Zero Energy building. \n\nBuildings are the SUVs 
 of U.S. energy consumption, gobbling up 71% of the nation's electricity and 
 54% of its natural gas. \n\nArun Majumdar hopes to change that. He's 
 leading a team of Berkeley Lab scientists to create a new generation of 
 net-zero energy, carbon-neutral buildings. Majumdar's goal is to reduce 
 today's demand by 90% in new buildings and by 50% in retrofitted old 
 buildings by 2030. \n\nMajumdar is leading the development of the High 
 Performance Building Research and Implementation Center, known as 
 HiPerBRIC, which expects to be a hub of global innovation - attracting the 
 world's best scientists, engineers, architects, and social scientists to 
 work on high-performance building technologies. \n\nThe HiPerBRIC vision is 
 to transform the U.S. commercial building sector within 20 years, starting 
 now, with energy-efficient designs and networks of digitally enabled 
 ventilation, lighting, shading, and climate control systems that respond in 
 near-real-time to temperature changes throughout the day and to the user's 
 demands. \n\nProfessor Arun Majumdar received his PhD in Mechanical 
 Engineering from UC Berkeley where he now teaches. In addition to his 
 faculty and Berkeley Lab appointments, Professor Majumdar serves as the 
 Director of the Berkeley Nanosciences and Nanoengineering Institute.
