Recapitalizing Aging Infrastructure for a Net-Zero Future
- Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL), Los Alamos, NM (United States)
The Chemistry and Metallurgy Research Facility (CMR) was built in 1952. The original structure consisted of five laboratory wings and office and administration wings. Wing 9 was added in 1959 to house unique equipment and capabilities for the national security mission of the United States. At the time, a centralized heat and power (CHP) plant was the best and most efficient option for serving large campuses, as was the use of fossil fuels, so CMR was put on LANL’s utility steam loop. Given the magnitude of heating energy requirements for the facility, it is a substantial greenhouse gas (GHG) contributor at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL) and has been for over 70 years.
