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.

PNNL’s Reid Hart and Bing Liu have earned individual Champions of Energy Efficiency in Buildings awards from the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy.

PNNL worked with the Department of Energy on the Commercial Packaged Boiler rule, which will help reduce energy use, enhance the environment, and save dollars.

Michael Brambley, a mechanical engineer at PNNL, receives ASHRAE Exceptional Service Award.

Srinivas Katipamula, a staff scientist at PNNL, has been honored with an ASHRAE Exceptional Service Award.

Recognizing how innovation and clean technologies at the very edge of the grid can work together to transition the electricity system, PNNL takes a multidisciplinary approach to advancing and integrating renewable energy solutions.

PNNL wind energy program manager Alicia Mahon has joined the review board of the Journal of Marine Environmental Engineering.

Two PNNL studies that describe the potential value of offshore wind off the Oregon Coast and distributed wind in Alaska were published in the journal Energies.

New role for Harker-Klimeš merges her expertise in marine energy research and her love for the ocean.

PNNL has received 119 R&D 100 Awards since 1969, when the laboratory began submitting entries in the contest that recognizes top 100 inventions each year.

PNNL has paired one of its offshore wind research buoys with its ThermalTracker-3D technology to correlate avian activity with ocean and weather conditions off the California coast.

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.

PNNL’s Data Archive and Portal that stores and disseminates wind energy data recently reached a major milestone: 1,000 users and growing.

PNNL ocean engineer Alicia Gorton has been invited to serve a three-year term as editor of the Marine Technology Society Journal.

A special issue of the Marine Technology Society Journal, titled “Utilizing Offshore Resources for Renewable Energy Development,” focuses on research and development efforts including those at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

PNNL researchers say that offshore wind energy can add value to the electric grid, beyond just the power it can produce, if locations and strategies are optimized.

PNNL researchers evaluated the accuracy of their software system designed to track bird and bat behavior around remote offshore wind turbines.

PNNL deployed two research buoys in waters off the West Coast for the first time in deep water, supporting a DOE and Bureau of Ocean Energy Management effort to gather measurements that support offshore wind locations and technologies.

PNNL scientists are learning how to harness wind to secure a brighter, cleaner energy future.

PNNL ocean engineer Alicia Gorton was invited to serve on the advisory board of the Department of Civil, Environmental, and Ocean Engineering at the Stevens Institute of Technology.
