Project: Using Machine Learning for Calculating Construction Emissions
Ponsu Muthuraman ’26 evaluated the use of a machine learning tool to improve construction carbon emission estimation.
The Electrical Reliability Improvements (ERI) project, part of Stanford’s Climate Action Plan, will increase the electrical reliability and capacity needed to reach the campus’s net-zero carbon reduction goal. The ERI project will upgrade equipment that distributes electricity to hundreds of campus buildings, and these improvements will enable Stanford to further electrify the campus for upgrades like more electric vehicle charging stations.
