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.

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.

Staff at PNNL recently completed a report highlighting commercial products enabled through projects funded by the Department of Energy’s Building Technologies Office.

STEM Education programs at DOE and national labs offer environmental management internships; applications are due soon for summer 2023.

The Simple Building Calculator, developed at PNNL, meets a need for a quick, interactive, and economic method to evaluate energy use—and potential savings from efficiency measures—in simple commercial buildings.

A review article led by researcher Jade Holliman explores the different classes of metamaterials, from the underlying fundamental science to potential applications.

A review article examines a decade of work on the atom-scale process of turning carbon dioxide into stable minerals.

The Department of Energy has issued updated energy conservation standards for manufactured homes. The effort to establish the standards, supported by PNNL, is expected to result in a range of benefits for the manufactured housing sector.

A new web-based tool provides easy-to-understand progress metrics and other data about groundwater cleanup sites overseen by the DOE Office of Environmental Management.

Biochemical preservation and mineral association retain carbon in grassland soils, resulting in consistent molecular composition across ecosystems.

Across the United States, water moving between the river and riverbed sediments does not overcome localized processes that govern organic matter chemistry.

PNNL worked with the Department of Energy on the Commercial Packaged Boiler rule, which will help reduce energy use, enhance the environment, and save dollars.

A new study shows how organic molecules respond to global change varies according to functional traits and ecological processes.

Updated flexible software generates and optimizes monitoring programs for detecting potential leaks from geological carbon storage with an enhanced user experience.

A novel combination of temperature and four-dimensional geophysical sensors revealed otherwise unseeable hydrologic dynamics below riverbed sediments.

PNNL scientists have proposed an "adaptive site management" cleanup strategy for the Hanford Site's Central Plateau that incorporates a structured, flexible approach to environmental remediation.

ICON science is a Department of Energy-developed framework to enhance scientific outcomes via more intentional design of research efforts across all domains of science.

New data analysis approach gives researchers deeper understanding of microbial ecology and evolution.

Improving predictability of water quality and nutrient cycling in large river systems.

Developing conceptual models for microbial-environmental–ecosystem interactions is key to enhancing the ability of models to predict future ecosystem function.
