Integrated Design Lab Network


Northwest architects and engineers have resources close to home to help them incorporate high performance building practices into their commercial building designs. BetterBricks, in partnership with the universities and electric utilities across the Northwest, supports this regional network of design assistance labs. Click on one of the lab locations on the map to contact them and learn more.



The lab network serves as a technical resource of credible and unbiased information and education to facilitate energy efficient design to achieve high performance buildings. Each lab provides access to information, tools and resources on integrated design and other high performance building practices, and a variety of advisory services that include:

  •     Integrated design process and methods;
  •     Climate analysis and appropriate building responses;
  •     Daylighting and electric lighting;
  •     Modeling (daylighting and energy performance)
