Let There Be (Connected) Light
PNNL's Connected Lighting Test Bed is helping advance smart and energy-efficient connected lighting systems.
Systems Engineering Building
The Systems Engineering Building provides unique laboratory space and equipment to advance research in electricity markets, generation, transmission, distribution, and end use, including buildings-grid integration.
Building Operations Control Center
The Building Operations Control Center enables researchers and operations staff to connect to intelligent infrastructure from the smart grid, allowing access to extensive data from PNNL campus buildings, systems, and components.
Lighting Science and Technology Laboratory
The Lighting Science and Technology Laboratory is a large warehouse filled with lights, cables, controllers, and computers where researchers can study connected lighting.
'Expert in a Suitcase' Cuts Power Bills 10% in Small Commercial Buildings
The knowledge of a seasoned energy efficiency professional has been packed into a high-tech suitcase dubbed the Sensor Suitcase.
Next-gen Solvents Capture Carbon with Half the Energy
Power plants could capture their carbon emissions while using half the energy of traditional carbon capture methods with water-lean carbon capture solvents.
Cut U.S. Commercial Building Energy Use 29% with Widespread Controls
The U.S. could slash its energy use by the equivalent of what is currently used by 12 to 15 million Americans if commercial buildings fully used energy-efficiency controls nationwide.
PNNL Researcher Invited to National Engineering Symposium
Nora Wang, an energy efficiency researcher at PNNL, is one of 82 early-career engineers from across the country invited to participate in the annual NAE Frontiers of Engineering symposium.
Helping Facilities Identify Water-Saving Opportunities
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.
