Research Summary: Energy Policy Analysis
My current research spans the energy-economic-environmental spectrum. I am interested in understanding and modeling how consumers make choices, how those choices impact the local and global environment, and how local and national policies and global agreements can improve those choices and reduce the impacts.
Current research topics include:
- Defining diagnostics for validation and comparison of global Integrated Assessment models
- Western U.S. Integrated Resource Planning forecasts and practices
- Evaluating how NEMS (THE U.S. energy policy model) handles consumer choices in the building sectors
- Quantifying the split incentive energy gap from appliance choices in the residential sector
- Estimating the cost and benefits of zero net energy buidings
