Research meets the challenge of measuring urban carbon emissions
Monday, May 17, 2021
As more people call for action against climate change, more than 500 cities worldwide have established low-carbon and net-zero carbon goals intended to substantially reduce greenhouse gas emissions in the coming decades.
But a major challenge to these decarbonization plans is the lack of a consensus on how to measure urban carbon emissions in the first place.

Study shows how cities can consider race and income in household energy efficiency programs
Monday, Jun 7, 2021
Climate change and social inequality are two pressing issues that often overlap. A new study led by Princeton researchers offers a roadmap for cities to address inequalities in energy use by providing fine-grained methods for measuring both income and racial disparities in energy use intensity. Energy use intensity, the amount of energy used per unit floor area, is often used as a proxy for assessing the efficiency of buildings and the upgrades they receive over time.
