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.
Researchers at PNNL examined heat pump water heater (HPWH) operation in Pacific Northwest residences, gaining insights into HPWH electricity use patterns. Part of the study captured trends during a COVID-19 stay-at-home order.
A new research partnership between PNNL and the University of Nevada, Reno aims to tackle critical challenges such as climate change, infrastructure resilience and cybersecurity.
PNNL’s energy-efficient dehumidifier may reduce energy consumption by up to 50% in residential A/C systems and increase the range of electric vehicles by up to 75%. The system has been licensed to Montana Technologies.
The first customized resource of its kind, H-BEST analyzes the indoor environmental quality profile for buildings and helps its users identify the costs and benefits of improvements.
For the second straight year, PNNL researchers are featured in a special edition of the Journal of Information Warfare. This issue explores the topic of macro cyber resiliency.
One year ago, Verizon announced a partnership that made PNNL the U.S. Department of Energy’s first national laboratory with Verizon 5G ultra-wideband wireless technology.
Sentry-SECURE is a new communication and response platform developed by PNNL, VPI, and Microsoft Azure that rapidly and securely transfers radiological alarm data through the cloud.
PNNL is piloting a novel web-based resilience planning tool for managing risk to mission-critical infrastructure from disruptions in energy and water services.
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 created an assessment method and maturity model that helps manufacturers building products for the power grid implement consistent cybersecurity best practices throughout their development lifecycle.
Buildings account for around 40 percent of our nation's energy use and consume 75 percent of our nation’s electricity each year. Energy use is also one of the biggest costs for facility owners.
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.
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.
A multi-institute research team is exploring ways to improve residential walls across America, making homes warmer and drier and delivering significant energy savings.
