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.

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.

Researchers gained insight into the interfacial radiation chemistry of radioactive waste sludge through studies of surface functional groups on model aluminum-containing solids

IDREAM researchers have discovered the chemical processes that underpin gibbsite solubility in sodium hydroxide, including sodium nitrate and sodium nitrite interactions.

IDREAM's Xiaosong Li was honored with the Distinguished Teaching Award, the highest teaching honor from the University of Washington.

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.

She leads a research team focused on interfacial chemistry in complex environments. IDREAM is one of DOE’s 41 Energy Frontier Research Centers.

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.
