Beantown Solar: The Future Never Looked So Bright

This project, from Patrick Brophy, Tanya Cashorali, Adam Jenkins, and James Mullen, was a winner in Track 1 (Reducing Boston's Carbon Footprint) of our 2017 Open Data Challenge.

"For this track, our team decided to help the City of Boston and others begin to comprehend the extent to which we can leverage the square footage available on top of our buildings to offset our energy usage via solar power. Utilizing the BERDO and BPDA asset from Boston, along with Google Sunroof, we have produced advanced visualizations of Boston and a scenario planner for future planning usage."
