Mapping Energy Trends In Relation to COVID-19
Executive Summary 

The big questions:

  • How has COVID-19 affected our energy usage? Commercial and domestic.
  • Have our lifestyle changes due to COVID-19 affected greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions? How so?
  • Is global data regarding emission reductions consistent on a regional scale? At UMass?
  • Can we extract the baseline energy demand of campus and how can this data inform the carbon mitigation task force?

Watch and listen to the TEAM SLIDESHOW for additional information.
