Omar Khan, Graduate Student in Computer Science |
Graduate Students Sam Borgeson and Omar Khan were recipients of a Green Initiative Fund (TGIF) grant to develop a energy and environmental resources campus dashboard for UC Berkeley. This project will develop a centralized database and website that aggregates a common and consistent set of resource consumption data (electricity, water, steam, etc.) for the UCB campus that can be easily accessed by a diverse set of data consumers (students, researchers, building managers, and analysts) to support tracking of project impacts, more uniform comparisons between projects and support other applications that can use such data. This data source will be populated with all available data (monthly meter reading dating all the way back to the 1970s up through real-time, sub-metered data), and we will build a protocol for easily adding and aggregating new data sources as they come online. They will implement a web-based building dashboard as the flagship application of this platform. |

Jeremy Eddy, Graduate Student in the Energy & Resources Group
Jeremey is a graduate student in the Energy and Resources Group. He is working with BIE to develop a list of projects individual household can undertake that have potential to reduce their houshold's carbon emissions, their climate footprints. Projects will be ranked based on dollar and carbon cost/saving to produce a "cost of conserved carbon" abatement curve for the typial U.S. houseohld. These results will contribute to development of the CoolClimate Carbon Footptint Calculator. |

Kate Foreman, Graduate Student in Agriculture and Resource Economics
Kate is a graduate student in Agriculture and Resource Economics. She is helping to develop a carbon footprint map of the United States for household energy, transportation, food, goods and services. This work is based on multiple regression analysis to estimate consumption of household expenditures in categories of emissions. The carbon footprint map will be a GIS-based online interface displaying carbon footprint data at geographic scales, in addition to feeding the default values of the CoolClimate Calculator. |
