Award recognizes innovative research with commercial potential
WASHINGTON — An HVAC technology developed by researchers at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE’s) National Energy Technology Laboratory (NETL) has won one of this year’s R&D 100 Awards.
The winning technology is called “HVAC Load Reduction Technology for Commercial Buildings.”Leveraging the laboratory’s expertise in sorbent technology development, NETL partnered with enVerid Systems to create unique multi-functional sorbents that can capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and volatile organic compounds at ambient temperatures and which regenerate below 60°C.
