Beyond melting ice and higher temperatures: On Earth Day, scientists consider how climate change will affect national security.

PNNL researchers have used field campaign data to better understand clouds, aerosols, and the interactions between humans and the atmosphere.

The next-generation ShAPE machine has arrived at PNNL, where it will help prove the mettle of the ShAPE extrusion technique. ShAPE 2 is designed to allow researchers to produce larger, more complex extrusions.

Researchers from PNNL have been assessing installation and use of electric heat pumps in an Alaskan community that relies on fuel oil for heat. The resulting information could advance electrification in cold rural areas across the nation.

PNNL researchers are working to provide the technical assistance and expertise needed for communities to shape their clean energy future.

Published in Nature Communications, Increased Asian Aerosols Drive a Slowdown of Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation, identifies the role aerosols over Asia is having on the AMOC, a complex system of currents in the Atlantic Ocean.

Study finds regional priorities shape people’s interest in improving the energy efficiency of their homes.

Regional wind data helps utilities save money, plan for windy days.

By adding rain, snow, and rain-on-snow precipitation data to a background model, a new scheme pinpoints local flood risks in order to improve the design of small-scale hydrological infrastructure.

Scientists at PNNL are working to better prepare authorities, emergency responders, communities and the grid in the face of increasingly extreme hurricanes.

As wildfires grow increasingly severe, PNNL researchers are working to slow their spread and mitigate their harmful effects.

Air-conditioning needs an energy overhaul—PNNL research provides a roadmap to get there using energy efficient adsorption cooling.

A new extrusion process eliminates pre-heating to provide significant energy savings during production of extruded aluminum alloys.

A new control system shows promise in making millions of homes contributors to improved power grid operations, reaping cost and environmental benefits.

Lighting control data are critical for optimizing the design and operation of future lighting systems for the benefit of occupants and energy efficiency.

COVID-19 changed when and where we use electricity. Researchers showed that commonly available total demand data masked the actual changes.

Applying new approaches in energy codes may support improved building efficiency and decarbonization in the Big Apple and beyond.

DOE Integrated Lighting Campaign organizers introduce new recognition categories in horticulture, innovative financing, and energy equity.

PNNL researchers develop software that uses geographical data to build a free, open-source grid reference system to provide a precise system to locate structures.

New building energy codes could reduce utility bills by $138 billion and prevent 900 million metric tons of CO2 emissions coming from buildings. Now, they will be easier to adopt.
