You will hear about Pacific Northwest National Laboratory's (PNNL) Retrocommissioning Sensor Suitcase that will allow for small commercial buildings to realize energy savings in an easy, cost-effective manner. The RCx Sensor Suitcase is a novel hardware and software solution that addresses a relatively untapped commercial market that will simultaneously serve as a start point for greater energy efficiency. Preliminary field test outcomes and description of the prototype technology will be presented.

You will hear about LLNL modeling and simulation capabilities critical for the wind power industry. High-resolution computer simulations provide useful data to wind farm developers and operators, enabling them to better select wind farm locations and operate the sites with increased efficiency. Improving the accuracy of wind predictions is also critical to electric grid operators who must dynamically balance the variable power generated by increasing or decreasing power production from other sources such as coal, natural gas, hydroelectric, geothermal, and biomass.

You will hear about unique facilities and capabilities in BioAMS at LLNL. Biological AMS is a technique in which carbon-14 is used as a tag to study with extreme precision and sensitivity complex biological processes, such as cancer, molecular damage, drug and toxin behavior, nutrition and other areas. Recent advances have improved analysis times from days to minutes and moved a complex scientific process into routine laboratory usage.

You will hear about an ordered cellular material that has been designed and manufactured using direct ink writing (DIW), a 3-D printing technology being developed at LLNL. The new material is a patterned cellular material that can absorb mechanical energy--a cushion--while also providing protection against sheering. This material is expected to find utility in application spaces that currently use unordered foams, such as sporting and consumer goods as well as defense and aerospace.

You will hear about an optical fiber draw tower in operation at LLNL that is researching new designs and applications for optical fibers.
