Mandy Mahoney, director of the DOE Building Technologies Office, visited PNNL in late November. One key agenda item involved meeting with staff for a discussion of effective equity and justice integration in buildings-related research.

PNNL is one of the founding partners of the Trillion Parameter Consortium, which was formed to create reliable generative AI models.

Researchers created a methodology to design custom network topologies that improve the execution time for scientific applications.

Researchers from PNNL, CSET, and Google DeepMind delved into the potential risks of artificial intelligence in a roundtable discussion.

A larger HVAC workforce with training on modern heat pump technology will be pivotal to achieving the mass-scale electrification of household HVAC systems needed to meet building decarbonization goals.

Leaders from the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy visited PNNL October 19–20 for a firsthand look at capabilities and research progress.

PNNL is at the midpoint of a study focused on the installation of electric heat pump water heaters in New Orleans homes. The efficient water heaters offer a unique capability that could help speed the transition from fossil fuels.

Pasco School District teachers join PNNL for an immersive teaching experience.

The Human Factors Symposium took place at Discovery Hall at PNNL in May 2023. Fifty-seven attendees participated in the three-day event representing 15 different institutions.

The Quick Building Assessment Tool is a simplified building energy analysis tool designed specifically for users with no experience in buildings.

PNNL’s building science research and technology deployment initiatives were highlighted at the HUD Innovative Housing Showcase.

The PNNL-managed Building America Solution Center translates research into actionable considerations for homeowners and builders to provide two solutions in one: increasing energy efficiency while also enhancing disaster resistance.

PNNL researchers present challenges and opportunities for fusing graph neural networks with deep reinforcement learning.

A PNNL team’s analysis of new-housing data concludes that single-family homes in lower-income counties are less energy-code-compliant than in higher-income counties, a finding that could shape strategies for enhanced code adoption.

Computational chemistry libraries from NWChem, NWChemEX, SPEC, and more are now available on Azure Quantum Elements.

PNNL researchers outline open problems in different scientific areas in the Journal of Combinatorics.

PNNL and The University of Texas at El Paso expand their premier partnership to include the Cyber Halo Innovation Research Program.

Under Secretary for Science and Innovation at the Department of Energy Geri Richmond visited PNNL.
