Our Impact

Building Digital Tools for a Sustainable Future

We build web & mobile applications, computational tools and utilities to enable clean energy transition, clean air and climate resilience. We follow user-centered design principles and agile methodology to test and build digital products that can be configured for deployment at a city, state and national scale. The computational tools that we build use advanced analytical models to simulate different scenarios, answer research questions and support decision making. We build data management systems to store and manage data efficiently. We develop web applications that inform stakeholders and help them make better decisions. We also engage and collaborate with the broader ecosystem to build open digital tools and platforms for population scale impact.

Contribution to the Grand Challenges

We provide digital solutions that enable researchers and other stakeholders to shape outcomes in clean energy transition, clean air and climate action for a secure, sustainable society. A few examples of the tools developed include Rooftop Solar Explorer to estimate solar potential of rooftop, AirNet to visualize air quality data & trends and Climate Risk and Vulnerability tool.
