Sustainable Engineered Materials

Ongoing
NIST will advance measurement science tools to reliably assess the performance of sustainable materials for the manufacturing, construction, and transportation industries. These industrial sectors must meet demands for higher performance, multi-functionality, and for longer life to ensure a...

Sustainable Manufacturing Program

Ongoing
Objective: To develop and deploy advances in measurement science to achieve sustainability across manufacturing processes enabling resource efficiency and production network resiliency by 2016. What is the problem? Industrial interest in sustainable manufacturing has increased dramatically in recent...

Sustainable Metals Processing and Alloy Development

Ongoing
Foundational measurement science is being developed to support sustainable innovations through alloy design and optimization. The integration of experiments and computational thermodynamics and kinetics tools with mechanistic models enables the prediction of key processing-structure-property...

Technological Advances in Aquaculture

Ongoing
According to the NOAA Fisheries of the U.S. report, in 2020 U.S. seafood consumption was estimated at ~6B pounds (~2.7 x 109 kg). Of that, 85% is imported and U.S. exports have seen a significant decline. Globally, the U.S. ranked only 18th in aquaculture production (2020). NIST aims to enhance the...

Uniform Unit Pricing: Tools for Consumers to Fight Shrinkflation

Ongoing
What is Unit Pricing? The pricing of goods based on the cost per unit of measure is commonly known as unit pricing. A unit price label often displays the product name and size, the price, the price per unit (e.g., how much you pay per gram, liter, or ounce), and other information. Unit pricing is...

Ventilation Performance for Novel Sustainability and Resilience Challenges

Ongoing
Objective: To develop tools, metrics, and data to enable sustainable, resilient, high-performance building and ventilation system design and operation in response to current and future challenges. Also, to develop a methodology to evaluate potential changes to ventilation and IAQ standards so their...

Wide-area Monitoring and Control of Smart Grid

Completed
Objective: To develop and verify innovative sensing systems and take full advantage of existing ones such as smart meters, PMUs, Merging Units (Mus), and other intelligent electric devices (IEDs), to enable greater electric grid resiliency, reliability, flexibility, and sustainability through...
