Researchers at PNNL are pursuing new approaches to understand, predict and control the phenome—the collection of biological traits within an organism shaped by its genes and interactions with the environment.

From energy-efficient buildings to new manufacturing techniques, researchers at PNNL strive for sustainability and a decarbonization.

COMPASS points to understanding nature’s transition zones—areas that can be dry land at times and under water at others.

Researchers developed two solutions for air-conditioning—a novel, energy-efficient dehumidification system and a technology to detect refrigerant leaks. Both help increase energy-efficiency and reduce costs.

PNNL researchers deploying and testing novel building technologies and energy-management approaches.

Understanding the Earth as a complex, dynamic system includes investigating what happens on, above and below its surface.

For decades, the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has played a role in establishing and maintaining sustainable hydropower for the region.
