Through new chemistry, materials, and processes, ORNL researchers are developing a highly compact and energy efficient carbon capture technology, which can enable wide-spread implementation in a cost effective manner.
Technologies for optimizing prefab retrofit panel installation using a real-time evaluator is described.
This solid-state thermal switch can significantly increase the functions of the thermal mass in buildings by actively controlling the thermal resistivity of insulation layers to optimize the energy storage and utilization to shed, shift, and shape HVAC loads on demand.
The interface gasket for building envelope is designed to enhance the installation of windows and other objects into building openings.
An innovative low-cost system for in-situ monitoring of strain and temperature during directed energy deposition.
The widespread use of inexpensive salt hydrate-based phase change materials, or PCMs, has been prevented by a key technical challenge: phase separation, also known as incongruency, which results in the significant degradation of the materials' ability to store thermal energy o
Adhesive and sealant materials are crucial in construction, automotive, and electronics industries. However, most adhesives fail under stress or environmental conditions like dust, water, or wear.
