Onset HOBO data loggers used in ORNL weatherization study
0Study to compare heating efficiency of bulk fuels vs. natural gas in low-income houses
Onset () has announced that several hundred of the company’s HOBO data loggers are being used in a key national weatherization study funded by the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL).
Called the National Weatherization Assistance Program Evaluation, the effort marks the first time in two decades the federal government will gather technical data on energy consumption and other factors in homes treated under the federal weatherization program.
More than 200 Onset HOBO temperature and time-of-use are being installed in low-income homes throughout the Midwest, Northeast and South, where they will monitor primary heating
Neutrons ‘go viral’ at ORNL
0Without a host, a virus is a dormant package of proteins, genetic material and occasional lipids. Once inside a living cell, however, a virus can latch onto cell parts and spring into action – mutating, replicating and spreading into new cells.
New DOE bioenergy Web site has ORNL roots
0Policy makers, industry, researchers and the public have a new way to gain and share information about biofuels with the Bioenergy Knowledge Discovery Framework, or KDF, developed by a team at Oak Ridge National Laboratory and sponsored by the Department of Energy.
