CX-017935: New York University-- Grid Dynamics and Energy Consumption Patterns Through Remote Observations of City Light

Funding will support New York University's information gathering and analysis efforts to develop an observational platform to remotely reveal energy usage patterns of New York City by exploiting imaging of urban skylines. Specifically, New York University will develop a map of New York City lighting technology and a measure of the correlation of lighting technology and consumption patterns in order to develop a model that can predict energy consumption.
