Lighting control data are critical for optimizing the design and operation of future lighting systems for the benefit of occupants and energy efficiency.
Four research staff from PNNL are part of an international team that earned top honors for a journal paper focused on a new algorithm-evaluation approach for buildings.
PNNL will provide technical resources and support to a national coalition of states and cities focused on implementing building performance standards to improve energy efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
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.
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.
PNNL engages in expert panels to address emerging policy issues surrounding deep space exploration; forms new partnership with University of Washington Space Policy and Research Center.
The Energy Storage for Social Equity Initiative will help up to 15 disadvantaged communities consider energy storage technologies to meet local energy goals.
New building energy codes could reduce utility bills by $138 billion and prevent 900 million metric tons of CO2 emissions coming from buildings. Now, they will be easier to adopt.
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 will play a key role in advancing Connected Communities made up of efficient homes and buildings that communicate with the grid to produce energy and environmental benefits.
Researchers developed two solutions for air-conditioning—a novel, energy-efficient dehumidification system and a technology to detect refrigerant leaks. Both help increase energy-efficiency and reduce costs.
PNNL’s new Hydrogen Energy Storage Evaluation Tool allows users to examine multiple energy delivery pathways and grid applications to maximize benefits.
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.
