School: Harvard GSD
Placement: MA Department of Energy Resources
Project Description: By the start of the summer, DOER will be obtaining new LBER data, finalizing a CECP model, and furthering progress on an AMI Electricity Data Investigation, which will also ultimately bring another new dataset. It is an exciting time at DOER! Kristin’s role as the Rappaport Fellow is to help identify uses for the new data and develop a data infrastructure strategy and framework that supports various DOER divisions’ scope of work. This placement will also allow her to work across state departments, like EEA’s MVP framework and report on microgrids and geothermal networks.
