"Can LA design its way cooler?" Read about the tradeoffs that cool pavements and planting trees might have on LA's regional climate from Dr Ko (@joeko1991) and [soon-to-be Dr] Hannah Schlaerth @SchlannahHaerth!

(9/8) Erratum:
AND... I just noticed I added the wrong paper link for Study #1 (although you should definitely check out @YunLi1024's paper as well 😁)

Here's the CORRECT link this time 😆

This is a bit overdue but...I FINISHED MY PHD 🤯!!! A huge shout out to my advisors @kellytsanders and George Ban-Weiss; committee members @sjsilva91 and Amy Childress; and all my USC colleagues.

A brief recap below 🧵 (1/8)

(8/8) Signing off S3 twitter for one last time 🫡. It's been a wild but rewarding ride. So long, and thanks to all who made it possible. Onwards and upwards! 🚀

CAISO's Flex Alerts have been asking Californians to reduce peak electricity use. Research led by @steppinmymayes shows pre-cooling your home can reduce your utility bill and CO2 footprint, while reducing strain on grid. https://t.co/edmA6doFyC ...More to come on this topic soon!

[California ISO @CaliforniaISO]

It’s going to be another hot day, #CA. Shift your #energy use to before 3 p.m. to help reduce strain on the grid.

[s3research @s3research]

About 6.5 billion miles! Given that the average Californian drives around 12,500 miles per year, this is enough to cover all the driving needs during this period of time for over 400,000 people, virtually emissions-free!

As CAISO increases its renewable generation, supply for electricity is more frequently exceeding demand resulting in renewable generation being wasted. Let's see how far we could drive a hydrogen car with the emissions-free energy that has been curtailed since the start of 2021:

I’ll end with a thank you to my advisor @kellytsanders, funding source @NSF, and publisher @IOPenvironment

Stay tuned for more from me on this topic soon!

[s3research @s3research]

On May 16th, between 4 & 7pm, the CO2 produced per hour by CAISO’s generation resources increased by a factor of 9.
Our latest explores how precooling homes can use load-shifting to convert this phenomenon into emissions savings.

In fact, we found that precooling can reduce CO2 emissions by ~3.5% while also reducing homeowner cost by ~13% and peak period consumption by ~57%! It’s good for the grid, the environment, and your wallet!
