Overview

In 2016, the California Center for Sustainable Communities (CCSC) at UCLA worked to expand the Energy Atlas coverage from Los Angeles County to most of Southern California. The Energy Atlas, a first-of-itskind interactive web tool, is one of the largest disaggregated sources of building energy data in the nation. Account-level electricity and natural gas data is linked to building characteristics and demographic information to create a robust database for building energy analysis.

While expanding and updating the geographical and time scales of the Atlas was a primary focus, CCSC energy data research also played an integral role in better understanding local and regional energy challenges.
