PNNL’s Supriya Goel has been named by Consulting-Specifying Engineer as one of 2021’s 40 outstanding nonresidential building industry professionals age 40 or younger.

Analytical chemist shares passion for STEM, innovation and nuclear fuel

Spent nuclear fuel is being recycled to make new fuel through rapid separation and tight control of uranium and plutonium.

Vigorous and rapid air exchanges might not always be a good thing when it comes to levels of coronavirus particles in a multiroom building, according to a new modeling study.

A new study projects that electricity demand tied to cooling U.S. buildings will grow as peak temperatures rise, and so too would the need for an expanded power sector.

An HVAC system energy efficiency analysis method developed by PNNL is now included in the Washington State Energy Code.

Innovative technology combines continuous, remote, real-time testing and monitoring of byproduct gasses, paving the way for faster advanced reactor development and testing.

PNNL provided expert analysis and technical background for some of the most ambitious building energy efficiency codes proposed for this year's International Energy Conservation Code updates.

PNNL radiochemist and research manager Patricia Paviet named National Technical Director for the Molten Salt Reactor (MSR) Program by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Nuclear Energy.

PNNL streamlines environmental review process for advanced reactors, saving years and millions of dollars toward deployments of new nuclear power projects.

PNNL-developed Water Balance Tool estimates consumption for major water end-uses. Understanding the breakout of water use identifies water efficiency opportunities and allows facility managers to spot potential system losses.

PNNL’s longstanding grid and buildings capabilities are driving two projects that test transactive energy concepts on a grand scale and lay the groundwork for a more efficient U.S. energy system.

Ken Geelhood is a nuclear engineer who is studying how the challenging conditions of a nuclear reactor affect the reliability of fuel.

PNNL data scientists Ján Drgoňa and Draguna Vrabie are working to reduce deployment costs of advanced energy control systems for buildings.

The Facility Cybersecurity toolkit, developed by PNNL, is designed for federal facilities to help implement the presidential executive order on cybersecurity, but it is also available for commercial facilities without charge.

PNNL engineer Srinivas Katipamula was recognized by the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy with a 2020 Champion of Energy Efficiency Award.

PNNL and Argonne researchers developed and tested a chemical process that successfully captures radioactive byproducts from used nuclear fuel so they could be sent to advanced reactors for destruction while also producing electrical power.

PNNL’s Intelligent Load Control technology manages and adjusts electricity use in buildings when there’s peak demand on the power grid.

Following the energy crisis of 2000-2001, the State of Washington received financial settlements from six energy companies, a fraction of which was used for energy-efficiency research.
