Environment & climate

It is extremely important for us to understand our environment, how human activities may affect it, and how we can reduce the damage. Environmental problems are often complex, having many interacting parts and stakeholders. Below are a few of the interesting and important models created to help illuminate issues around climate change.

Heat pumps 101

Heat and cool your home while saving energy and reducing emissions by adopting heat pump technology. Learn more about this transition and heat pumps by watching this webinar.

How the heat pump calculator was built

Walk through our heat pump calculator model and what decisions were made in its creation.

Quantifying methane emissions

Aerial surveys found that a small number of high-impact super-emitting events are responsible for most methane emissions, which were significantly higher than previously estimated.

Rehab for a river ecosystem

Rivers tamed by artificial channels, dikes, and levees to reduce flooding, often damage habitats. Researchers created IRRM to find the best way to rehabilitate river ecosystems.

Is bike sharing good for your health?

City bike share programs are popular methods of improving health, but with increased injury risks and exposure to pollutants, do they actually have a positive effect on health?

What is “green”? How does a buyer know?

Analytica helps organizations compare the environmental costs of the products they need, so they can consider the environmental footprint of their buying decisions.

How much water do we have?

The supply of water has been a community debate. Analytica was used to model water supply and demand, contributing to the St. Helena’s approval of new water usage policies.

Assessing the Clean Air Act

How effective was the Clean Air Act at improving air quality and reducing acid rain? The NAPAP developed an integrated environmental assessment model to help answer such questions.

    The free edition of Analytica includes these key Analytica features:
    Free Analytica has no time limit. The only constraint is it won’t let you create more than 100 variables or other objects. But your model can be quite substantial since each variable can be a multidimensional array. It also lets you explore, change inputs, and run existing models of any size (excluding features unique to the Enterprise or Optimizer editions).
