On Mepsy, managed four staff and two contractors in testing software platforms, writing R code, and developing a web-based user interface. Collected and analyzed data on markets and efficiency for 7 products (air conditioners, refrigerators, space heating, lighting, fans, televisions, and industrial motors) across multiple countries, resulting in a global model of their energy use and CO2 emissions and impacts of potential efficiency policies. Currently extending the model by adding future projections, further appliances and equipment, and different policy options (refrigerants and compliance).In Indonesia, led two staff and five contractors to conduct a first-of-its-kind 5,000+ household residential end-use survey and market and technology assessments that provided key data resulting in efficiency policies for refrigerators, fans, and rice cookers in Indonesia, reducing CO2 by 11 Mt through 2030. Separately, led one staff and four contractors in scoping global water efficiency opportunities that reduce water waste and CO2 emissions, followed by in-depth assessments in Brazil, India, and South Africa. The latter study led to an ongoing review of taps and showerheads standards with the South African National Energy Development Institute (SANEDI). Show less
