2023: Integrating Policy, Finance, and Hyperlocal Building Energy Modeling (IIF Momentum Funding)
In 2020, buildings and construction accounted for 37% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Their decarbonization is an urgent, massive, cross-disciplinary challenge that requires immediate attention to limit the adverse effects of climate change. The researchers will create a novel methodology for scenario-driven urban energy simulations, incorporating future climate, finance, policy models, and sustainable technology adoption predictions to deliver a web-browser-based planning tool tailored to city stakeholder needs.
