She may not wear a white coat or carry a stethoscope, but Christine Walker of ORNL spends her days diagnosing the energy health of buildings and figuring out how to improve their efficiency to achieve cost savings and reduce their carbon footprint.
The daily traffic congestion along the streets and interstate lanes of Chattanooga could be headed the way of the horse and buggy with help from ORNL researchers.
Long before COVID-19’s rapid transmission led to a worldwide pandemic, 91°µÍø’s Jason DeGraw was performing computer modeling to better understand the impact of virus-laden droplets on indoor air quality
Researchers at 91°µÍø have developed a novel envelope system that diverts heat or coolness away from a building and stores it for future use.
A team of researchers at 91°µÍø has developed a method to detect and measure air leaking from a building’s walls and roof that is quicker, cheaper and less disruptive to occupants.
A team of researchers at 91°µÍø and the University of Tennessee have developed a concrete mix that demonstrated high early strength within six hours of mixing, potentially doubling the production capacity for the precast industry.
When Kashif Nawaz looks at a satellite map of the U.S., he sees millions of buildings that could hold a potential solution for the capture of carbon dioxide, a plentiful gas that can be harmful when excessive amounts are released into the atmosphere, ra
