Project

Demographic Change, Climate Change, and Energy Demand

Conducted by Emilio Zagheni; Jorge Cimentada; in Collaboration with Hossein Estiri (Harvard University, Cambridge, USA)

In this project, we develop methods to assess how demand for residential energy varies as people age. 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
