Project

Demographic Change, Climate Change, and Energy Demand

Conducted by Emilio Zagheni; Hossein Estiri

In this project, we develop methods to assess how demand for residential energy varies as people age. Then we apply our approach on survey data to evaluate the relationships between demand for energy and changes in housing, climate, and demographic variables. Detailed Description
