Michael Tillou, a senior buildings research engineer at PNNL, has been honored with an ASHRAE Distinguished Service Award.

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

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.

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.

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.

Principles derived from coastal wetlands to describe wetland channel cross-sections were applicable to the Columbia River estuary, but not the tidal river.

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.

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

A new study projects that electricity demand tied to cooling U.S. buildings will grow as peak temperatures rise, and so too would the need for an expanded power sector.

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

The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded funding to PNNL for the design and construction of a hybrid research vessel and an underwater testbed to be located at PNNL-Sequim.

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.

PNNL-developed Water Balance Tool estimates consumption for major water end-uses. Understanding the breakout of water use identifies water efficiency opportunities and allows facility managers to spot potential system losses.

PNNL physical oceanographer Maggie McKeon will speak February 3 at the U.S. launch meeting for the United Nations’ Ocean Decade. She will present on improving diversity in the Superfund site workforce.

The Marine and Coastal Research Laboratory (MCRL), part of PNNL, in Sequim, Washington, is the U.S. Department of Energy’s only marine research facility. It has a rich history and expanding research scope.

Washington and Oregon coastlines hold most promising areas to pull power from West Coast waves, according to a recent study on wave energy.

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).

Tools for advancing effective large-scale ecosystem restoration outcomes to maximize both ecological and economic benefits.

Two PNNL researchers, one a world-leading authority on microorganisms, the other an expert on coastal ecosystem restoration, have been elected fellows of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

PNNL’s longstanding grid and buildings capabilities are driving two projects that test transactive energy concepts on a grand scale and lay the groundwork for a more efficient U.S. energy system.
