PNNL is laying the groundwork for advancing energy equity and environmental justice through research to develop an innovative energy system that benefits everyone

Pacific Northwest National Laboratory has pioneered the use of observational research for evaluating energy efficient technologies in the built environment.

PREPARES demonstrates linkages between climate or weather conditions and human domain systems by combining quantitative geophysical data with qualitative data.

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 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.
