Mr. Bell is an Energy Engineer in the Environmental Energy Technology Division at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). He is credited with a number of publications, including serving as a principal author of the Design Guide for Energy Efficient Laboratories. This publication is intended to assist facility owners, architects, engineers, designers, facility managers, and utility energy-management specialists in identifying and applying advanced energy-efficiency features in laboratory-type environments. Mr. Bell is a Certified State Energy Auditor in New Mexico and a Registered Professional Engineer in both New Mexico and California. He has served as an investigator for the U.S. Department of Energy, a teacher at the University of New Mexico, and an energy engineer contractor to Sandia Corporation in addition to various other mechanical engineering consulting positions. Mr. Bell received his B.S. in Mechanical Engineering from Newark College of Engineering and a masters of architecture in Environmental Design from the University of New Mexico.

E-mail: nancy_carlisle@nrel.gov

Ms. Carlisle is the Federal Energy Management Program (FEMP) Group Manager at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, Colorado, and a licensed Architect in the state of Colorado. At NREL, she led the development of a 25-year Master Site Plan for both of NREL's campuses. The plan provides a framework to develop NREL's campuses in a sustainable way. She has been a core member of the Labs21 technical program since its inception. She has worked at NREL over 25 years, in research, analysis, design, and outreach activities that promote the design of sustainable, low-energy buildings. She is a LEED® accredited professional and recognized as a Fellow in the American Solar Energy Society. She holds a Masters degree in architecture and planning from the University of Arizona and a Bachelors degree in economics with a concentration in environmental studies from Colorado State University.

E-mail: william.lintner@ee.doe.gov

Mr. Lintner is the Department of Energy's project manager for the Laboratories for the 21st Century Program. He has been the project manager since the inception of Labs21. With EPA's managers, he has guided Labs21 through a period of rapid growth to become an exemplary model of pubic/private sector cooperation and the premier organization dedicated to applying sustainable principles to laboratories.

Mr. Lintner has championed sustainable best practices, primarily energy
efficiency, for over 25 years, first with the Department of the Navy and more recently with DOE. In 2000, he was recognized for his contributions to reducing the DOE's operating costs by over $100 million per year through investments in energy efficiency retrofit projects. More recently, he has lead initiatives to spur facility managers to adopt best practices in their operations. Through these efforts, sustainable design and re-commissioning of buildings have become standard practices and the DOE has come to lead the federal government in the number of buildings that are LEED certified and the number of laboratories registered to be certified. Mr. Lintner is a Professional Engineer in the Commonwealth of Virginia. He is a graduate of George Washington University and George Mason University.
