The Integrated Design Lab [IDL] is dedicated to the development of high performance buildings in Idaho and Eastern Oregon. Design teams that utilize the resources available through the IDL will design buildings that are more comfortable for people, require less energy to maintain and operate, and enhance the health and productivity of their inhabitants.

The IDL is operated by the University of Idaho and is located in Boise, ID. The IDL is sustained by grants from the Northwest Energy Efficiency Alliance's (NEEA) BetterBricks program, Idaho Power, The Idaho Energy Division, as well as matching funds by the University of Idaho and project clients. The IDL provides project based education services to designers in the disciplines of daylighting, electric lighting, HVAC, and other high performance , sustainable practices. Some of these services are provided through local resources while others come from our many partners across the four states of ID, OR, MT, and WA.
