Distressed communities and underserved populations suffer most from the impact of climate change. Energy usage and consumption in buildings, transportation and water are major contributors to this inequity. The impact of these factors on the health of our communities can now be measured, and, when combined with effective decision-making, can be the catalyst for reversing environmental inequities.

“CoBE Projection can aid stakeholders and decision-makers in (1) assessing current individual building or building portfolio performance by quantifying emissions, health, and climate footprint; and (2) evaluating their sustainability plans by comparing the projected co-benefits under different energy conservation scenarios, to achieve highest health and climate co-benefits.”
