#617 Online: Electrify Chicago - Analyzing Chicago's Building Pollution

Hear from one of Chi Hack Night's own breakout groups, Electrify Chicago, an independent open-source project looking to shed light onto one of the biggest sources of Chicago's CO2 emissions - buildings. In this talk, lead contributor of Electrify Chicago Viktor Köves will walk through how the project got started, what the team found in the city's data, the goals of Electrify Chicago, and how their work has helped activists put pressure on building owners to improve and on the city to enforce the energy and emissions reporting requirements.
