Innovative cement and concrete technologies at PNNL enhance durability and performance through self-healing formulations and cost-effective, high-performance materials derived from waste, enabling more resilient, reliable infrastructure.

PNNL and collaborators have established a national heat pump and heat pump water heater partnership to help drive adoption of these energy-saving technologies in both residential and commercial buildings.

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.
