PNNL researchers deploying and testing novel building technologies and energy-management approaches.

PNNL provided ultra-low measurements of argon-39 to date groundwater as part of a collaborative study of the aquifer in California’s San Joaquin Valley. PNNL is one of only a few laboratories worldwide with this capability.

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.

Modeling study suggests vigorous ventilation can cause spike in viral concentrations

U.S. Secretary of Energy Jennifer M. Granholm virtually visits PNNL, one of several national lab visits she is conducting.

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.

When the COVID-19 pandemic halted all travel for in-person inspections, a team at PNNL knew they needed to find a way to perform assessments virtually. Their solution—a portable kit that could be shipped to locations.

Researchers used deep learning methods to estimate the subsurface permeability of a watershed from stream discharge measurements.

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.

High school students from across Washington State competed in the Pacific Northwest Regional Science Bowl, hosted online by PNNL, for a chance to advance to the national competition in May.

Understanding the Earth as a complex, dynamic system includes investigating what happens on, above and below its surface.

A team of researchers from 10 national laboratories and eight universities is conducting hydraulic shearing tests to explore the potential for geothermal energy at the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF).

An HVAC system energy efficiency analysis method developed by PNNL is now included in the Washington State Energy Code.

PNNL provided expert analysis and technical background for some of the most ambitious building energy efficiency codes proposed for this year's International Energy Conservation Code updates.

New approach allows nonexperts to optimize control of a building's energy systems without adding computing power or proprietary software.
