The ongoing transition in energy systems, driven by factors such as renewable energy adoption, data quality improvement, and grid decentralization, holds promise for addressing climate change and advancing environmental justice. This shift towards decentralized energy production, including prosumer engagement and microgrids, aims to reduce transmis...

This study compares the performance of a causal and a predictive model in modeling travel mode choice in three neighborhoods in Chicago. A causal discovery algorithm and a causal inference technique were used to extract the causal relationships in the mode choice decision making process and to estimate the quantitative causal effects between the va...

The analysis of infrastructure use data in relation to other components of the infrastructure can help better understand the interrelationships between infrastructures to eventually enhance their sustainability and resilience. In this study, we focus on electricity consumption and travel demand. In short, the premise is that when people are in buil...

Understanding Food–Energy–Water (FEW) systems is crucial in order to plan for a resilient and sustainable future of interdependent urban–rural regions. While research tends to focus on urban transitions, the topic remains understudied relative to urban-rural regions. The often conflicting pressures in these regions (e.g., urbanization and growing c...

For the 2020 Census, the U.S. Census Bureau developed the Low Response Score (LRS) to predict census self‐response participation. Based on a previous hard‐to‐count metric, which accounts for people who are difficult to survey or count, the LRS was undoubtedly an improvement over previous census effort. However, census response behaviour can be sens...

Approaches to reducing energy consumption in multi-family residential buildings can benefit from being more intentionally integrated with non-energy urban planning efforts. Despite the large volume of energy data available, some of the data that would be useful to plan more sustainable urban development or retrofit existing building stocks are inco...
