Cal-Bay Systems to Equip Groundbreaking R&D Facility for the US Department of Energy With Tools Based on National Instruments Technology

09/11/2013

Cal-Bay Systems is a leader in comprehensive, automated test and measurement processes based on NI technology platforms. Recently, we have teamed with Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) to provide test, validation, and measurement equipment for the US Department of Energy’s new Facility for Low Energy Experiments in Buildings, or FLEXLAB. The facility will provide researchers, manufacturers, developers, architects, engineers, contractors, and utilities the tools to accurately field-test innovations in green building technologies and controls.

“We're thrilled to be entrusted with a project so critical to our national interests,” said Guy Nunnellee, vice president of sales and marketing at Cal-Bay. “Our engineers have been collaborating with LBNL on an advanced system built around NI LabVIEW software and NI CompactRIO hardware that will ensure those who use the facility are working with the most accurate data possible.”

“FLEXLAB represents a big step forward in addressing key conservation challenges facing the building industry and our nation,” said Cindy Regnier, FLEXLAB manager. “These test beds provide a unique platform for studies that will streamline the development and production of highly integrated, energy-efficient building systems that far exceed current standards. Cal-Bay’s involvement has been instrumental to the success of the facility.”
