PNNL is being honored with a sustainability award for its two decades of work advancing building energy codes.

Nora Wang, an energy efficiency researcher at PNNL, is one of 82 early-career engineers from across the country invited to participate in the annual NAE Frontiers of Engineering symposium.

The U.S. could slash its energy use by the equivalent of what is currently used by 12 to 15 million Americans if commercial buildings fully used energy-efficiency controls nationwide.

Organic matter found in vast quantities in oxygen-starved floodplains would yield only minimal energy for hungry microorganisms, which spurn the meal, researchers show in a study in Nature Geoscience.

PNNL scientists recently gave a crash course on soil to young children at a local elementary school, dishing up the dirt on soil.

Cleaning up Hanford is no easy task: it is one of the world's largest and most complex environmental remediation projects. The nation's top engineering firms are on the job and the Department of Energy's PNNL is helping.
