Our Expertise
CARBON FOOTPRINT ACCOUNTING
Measure and predict the carbon output of buildings at the local and regional level using our advanced building modeling techniques, as well as a comprehensive understanding of the local electricity grid.
URBAN SUSTAINABILITY
Use policy knowledge, market insights, and advanced analytics to facilitate achieving sustainability goals related to energy efficiency, renewable energy, and clean transportation planning.
EQUITY MAPPING
Pioneered and developed the Greenlink Equity Mapping (GEM) platform to provide neighborhood-scale maps that display critical equity-related issues and answer fundamental questions about disparities across communities.
UTILITY RESOURCE PLANNING
Provide regulatory and legislative assistance, as well as integrate predictive modeling, advanced data analytics, and market insights to empower the transition to a clean, smart, and reliable electric grid.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Help households, businesses, and cities understand the comprehensive impact of more sustainable choices, including the effects on energy, environment, public health, household and business finances, job creation, labor income, and local economic growth.
Our Tools
Our data science team developed Athenia, a predictive modeling tool that uses machine learning to forecast how energy systems will operate under cleaner scenarios and estimates the impacts to economic development, health, and climate, amongst other things, based on thousands of historical data points.
Athenia helps you:
-
Compare business-as-usual versus clean energy impacts
-
Develop clean energy plans
-
Create decarbonization roadmaps
-
Calculate Scope 2 emissions from electricity for company and federal mandates
-
Evaluate the public health benefits of clean energy
-
Assess electricity needs when transitioning buildings and transportation to electric power
Clean Energy Jobs Calculator (CEJC)
Greenlink Analytics’ latest groundbreaking tool analyzes community-level data to identify the impact of clean energy investments on local industries and
job creation indicating which job titles, occupations, and skills will benefit most.
The Clean Energy Jobs Calculator helps you:
-
Determine which industries will benefit from clean energy investments and estimates the number of jobs created
-
Calculate the expected Net Jobs Effect by
evaluating the impact of investments on job creation and losses -
Estimate the expected Net Income Effect by evaluating the economic gains and losses from investments
The Greenlink Equity Map (GEM) is a an interactive and easy-to-use web app that illustrates the intersections of health, housing, and environmental inequities.
GEM displays social and environmental disparities across neighborhoods and cities to clean up consumption and support equitable decision-making processes and policies.
Cities, states, and organizations across the country are using GEM to reduce their carbon emissions, upgrade the grid through energy efficiency and clean power sources, channel funding towards disinvested communities, and advance community-driven processes.
ACES
The Advanced Clean Energy Scenario (ACES) dashboard helps show city-specific electricity generation and emissions ranging from business-as-usual scenarios to the cleanest, cost-effective options.
IAM
The Impact Analysis Model (IAM) is a building and transportation policy impact calculator that allows a deeper dive into how specific policy decisions will interact with other policies and play out over a decade.
The Clean Energy Policy Toolkit is an extensive list of policy options cities need to consider when advancing a clean energy agenda to support a thoughtful and thorough approach.
