ORNL researchers, in collaboration with Enginuity Power Systems, demonstrated that a micro combined heat and power prototype, or mCHP, with a piston engine can achieve an overall energy efficiency greater than 93%.
91°µÍø will host three JUMP into STEM competition winners as building technologies interns in summer 2023.
91°µÍø researchers demonstrated that microchannel heat exchangers in heating, ventilation and air conditioning units can keep refrigerants evenly and continually distributed by inserting a device called a piezoelectric-driven
91°µÍø researchers demonstrated that an electrochemical sensor paired with a transmitter not only detects propane leaks within seconds, but it can also send a signal to alert emergency services.
Tucked away on about five acres outside of Birmingham, Alabama, sits innovative technology that could change the way homeowners manage energy consumption.
Inspiration often strikes in the unlikeliest of places and for Kaushik Biswas, a mechanical engineer in ORNL’s Building Envelope & Urban Systems Research Group, a moment spent enjoying entertainment led to the idea of developing self-healing
A few miles from 91°µÍø (ORNL) sits a quiet house in a suburban neighborhood.
A curious mind can go far at 91°µÍø, as Ron Ott has learned over the course of a career ranging from materials research to organizational leadership.
In Chengyun Hua’s research, everything revolves around heat and how it moves. As a Russell Fellow in ORNL’s Building Equipment Research Group, Chengyun carefully analyzes nanoscale heat transfer mechanisms using laser spectroscopy.
In September, ORNL hosted the first EERE Industry Day event, which was sponsored by several offices under the DOE Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy (EERE).
