Biography

Doug Elliott has been with PNNL since 1991 and with the lab's Portland office since 1998. Doug has participated in a variety of projects focused mainly in the areas of energy policy, resource efficiency, cost-benefit and regulatory analysis, and software development.

Currently, Doug supports the GPRA Metrics project through the development of the Visual Basic-based BEAMS interface and algorithms, which estimate required investment and potential energy savings associated with federal energy programs. Other recent projects have included several environmental impact statements, for which he developed geographic information systems (GIS) and demographic databases to assist in the examination of potential socioeconomic impacts of various proposed projects.

Over the past several years, Doug has performed numerous life-cycle cost analyses, involving the evaluation and selection of optimal energy and water efficiency strategies and technologies for various facilities. Other projects have included large-scale data analyses for investor-owned utility demand-side management programs; the Save Water and Energy Education Program (SWEEP); the DoD Renewable Energy Assessment; and an analysis of the utility and consumer impacts of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).
