Energy planning

The research aims to develop tools and methods to design energy plans and energy reduction strategies. The evaluation is done on a multi-criteria basis, including air pollution indicators. It also relies on surveys to measure citizens' representation of energy and environmental issues, and their participation to the energy transition.  

• Describe and simulate energy systems

• Develop decision support tools

• Study the representation of energy and environmental issues by citizens and their participation.
