The Integrated Design Lab in Boise [IDL] is dedicated to the development of high performance energy efficient buildings in Idaho and Eastern Oregon. This is approached through research, education and outreach efforts with students, owners and professional design and construction teams to transform design and construction practice and keep pace with the milestones of the 2030 Challenge. Those who utilize the resources available through the IDL will design and construct buildings that are more comfortable for people, require less energy to maintain and operate, and enhance the health and productivity of inhabitants.
