PNNL’s Andrea Mengual co-chaired a working group that produced Building Performance Standards: A Technical Resource Guide. PNNL’s Kim Cheslak, Bing Liu, and Jian Zhang contributed to the effort.
Claudia Tebaldi, a PNNL Earth scientist, has been named a Fellow of the American Geophysical Union. Tebaldi and others will be recognized at AGU23 in December.
Floating offshore wind farms could potentially triple the Pacific Northwest's wind power capacity while offsetting billions of dollars in costs for utilities, ratepayers, insurance companies, and others.
In a new paper, researchers point to three major efforts where the biggest climate mitigation gains stand to be realized: ramping up carbon dioxide removal, reigning in non-carbon dioxide emissions and halting deforestation.
By adding rain, snow, and rain-on-snow precipitation data to a background model, a new scheme pinpoints local flood risks in order to improve the design of small-scale hydrological infrastructure.
Chemical Engineer Yong Wang explains the influence and opportunity for joint appointments. Wang maintains one of the longest joint appointment tenures at PNNL.
The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers has given its 2022 Journal Paper Award to Jamie Kono, a PNNL building research engineer.
PNNL’s extensive portfolio of buildings-grid research included three projects that helped answer some of the technical questions related to leveraging energy consumption in buildings to enhance grid operations.
PNNL researchers are helping to better define the need for grid energy storage in future clean energy scenarios, as well as working to improve technologies for storing renewable energy so it's available when and where it's needed.
