Poorly insulated walls in residential buildings waste an estimated quadrillion+ Btus of energy per year. Upgrading windows and insulation during re-siding projects is a unique, cost-effective opportunity to improve efficiency and comfort.

PNNL has developed performance assessment guidance for remediation of volatile contaminants in the vadose zone, inorganic contaminant remediation in the vadose zone, and pump-and-treat of groundwater contaminant plumes.

PNNL is working on behalf of the U.S. Department of Energy to create a prototype system that enables homes to help provide services to the power grid while delivering economic benefits to residents.

STOMP is a suite of numerical simulators for solving problems involving coupled flow and transport processes in the subsurface. The suite of STOMP simulators is distinguished by application areas and solved mathematical equations.

The TRAC web tool displays the environmental remediation status—and metrics about progress toward closure—for cleanup sites overseen by the DOE Office of Environmental Management.

The UNSAT-H computer code is used to understand the movement of water, heat, and vapor in soils so more informed decisions can be made about land use, waste disposal, and climate change.

The Water Cycle and Climate Extremes Modeling (WACCEM) Scientific Focus Area advances predictive understanding of water cycle variability and change through foundational research using models, observations, and novel numerical experiments.
