Dr. Arthur H Rosenfeld (b. 1927) is a Commissioner of the California Energy Commission since 2000. 1927 (MCMXXVII) was a common year starting on Saturday (link will take you to calendar). ...
This article is about the year 2000. ...
Rosenfeld earned a PhD (1954) in Physics from the University of Chicago where he was the last graduate student of Enrico Fermi. The University of Chicago is a private university located principally in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. ...
Enrico Fermi (September 29, 1901 – November 28, 1954) was an Italian physicist most noted for his work on the development of the first nuclear reactor, and for the development of quantum theory. ...
1955-1973 He worked in physics group at University of California, Berkeley where he did some of the key development of bubble chamber physics, particularly the hardware and software for photographing, measuring and analyzing data. 1955 (MCMLV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
1973 (MCMLXXIII) was a common year starting on Monday. ...
A bubble chamber A bubble chamber is a vessel filled with a superheated transparent liquid used to detect electrically charged particles moving through it. ...
In 1975, he founded the group that became the Center for Building Science at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. At the center he researched the miniaturisation of electronic ballasts in fluorescent lamps leading to the development of compact fluorescent lamps. 1975 (MCMLXXV) was a common year starting on Wednesday. ...
The Berkeley Lab is perched on a hill overlooking the Berkeley central campus and San Francisco Bay. ...
A spiral type compact fluorescent light bulb. ...
The Center developed a broad range of energy efficiency technologies, including electronic ballasts for fluorescent lighting, a key component of compact fluorescent lamps; and low-emissivity windows, a coating for glass that allows light in but blocks heat from either entering (summer) or escaping (winter). Dr. Rosenfeld was personally responsible for developing DOE-2, a computer program for building energy analysis and design that was incorporated in California’s Building Code in 1978. These codes have served as models for the nation, copied by Florida and Massachusetts, and other states are beginning to adopt them as well. DOE-2 is used to calculate codes and guidelines for energy efficient new buildings in China and many other countries. This article or section does not cite its references or sources. ...

In 2001, Rosenfeld came up with Rosenfeld's Law, which states that the amount of energy required to produce one dollar of GDP has decreased by about one percent per year since 1845.

For 1994-1999 he was Senior Advisor to the United States Department of Energy Assistant Secretary. The Enrico Fermi Award is a U.S. government Presidential award honoring scientists of international stature for their lifetime achievement in the development, use, or production of energy. ...
1994 (MCMXCIV) was a common year starting on Saturday of the Gregorian calendar, and was designated as the International Year of the Family and the International Year of the Sport and the Olympic Ideal by United Nations. ...
1999 (MCMXCIX) was a common year starting on Friday, and was designated the International Year of Old Farts by the Sometimes-United Nations. ...
