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.

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.

PNNL receives a 2023 Federal Laboratory Consortium Far West Regional Award for a technological innovation that could help make the U.S. a producer of critical minerals used in electronics and energy production.

PNNL’s Katie Arkema was selected to be on NASEM committee focused on public health and conservation.

The Building and Environment journal named Drgoňa’s co-authored work one of 2022’s best papers.

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

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.

For a second year in a row, doctoral intern Jack Watson was awarded the Student Merit Award by the Society for Risk Analysis and the Resilience Analysis Specialty group.

Five staff members from PNNL received awards from the Department of Energy’s Federal Energy Management Program for contributions to projects for the U.S. Army.

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 version of the Department of Energy’s Technical Resilience Navigator allows users to prioritize resilience solutions based on both risk reduction and emissions impact.
