The @ClimateTRACE coalition is building a timely, open, and accessible inventory of exactly where greenhouse gas emissions are coming from. Kyle Bradbury, director of @DukeU's Energy Data Analytics Lab and a @DukeEngineering professor, leads efforts to track building emissions.
“Buildings contribute anywhere from 6% to 9% of global emissions when looking at direct emissions, and far more indirectly when you factor in electricity and biomass…” but tracking those emissions is a challenging task. climatetrace.org/news/dukes-… @NichInstitute @DukeU
