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.
A new longer-lasting sodium-ion battery design is much more durable and reliable in lab tests. After 300 charging cycles, it retained 90 percent of its charging capacity.
Lighting control data are critical for optimizing the design and operation of future lighting systems for the benefit of occupants and energy efficiency.
A paper published last year by scientists at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory was featured in the 2021 Editor’s Choice collection for the Cell Reports Physical Science journal.
PNNL’s Jie Xiao and Yuyan Shao are serving two-year terms on the executive committee of the Pacific Northwest section of The Electrochemical Society, which was chartered in October 2020.
PNNL scientists partnered with colleagues at the University of Akron to create a new molecule that could substantially improve the electrochemical stability of redox flow batteries.
Royer’s research has focused on ensuring that energy efficient lighting technologies, like LEDs, offer quality light so they reach their potential for energy savings.
