Experience:
David B. Belzer has been a staff economist at PNNL since 1977. Based on his academic training in macroeconomic and input-output forecasting models of the U.S. economy, he was involved in a series of studies for the Federal Emergency Management Agency during the 1980s that focused upon the defense mobilization preparedness of U.S industry. Much of his more recent work at PNNL has involved energy and economic analysis of commercial buildings. In the early 1990s, Dr. Belzer directed the development of estimates of end-use energy consumption for several national samples of commercial buildings. Dr. Belzer is currently working on several software tools to assess the potential benefits of updated commercial building standards. He is also a member of a PNNL team that is developing estimates of the energy and economic benefits of the Department of Energy's programs related to building energy efficiency.
