Community Energy Study Boston

1 post / 0 new

Dear colleagues and friends,

Some of you might be interested in our Community Energy Study for Boston (http://web.mit.edu/sustainabledesignlab/projects/BostonEnergyModel/index.html). The Study describes the development of a Urban Building Energy Model (UBEM) that consists of 92,000 buildings and is based on the city's official GIS dataset. The vision for this work was to produce a long term policy support tool that the city can regularly update going forward, and that provides actionable information for local communities to evaluate energy related decisions.
Project partners were the Boston Redevelopment Authority and MIT Lincoln Laboratory. Funding was provided by the Massachusetts Clean Energy Center.

Enjoy the video,
