Center for Air, Climate, and Energy Solutions (CACES)

The Center for Air, Climate, and Energy Solutions (CACES) was a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional research center that focused on questions at the nexus of air, climate, energy and human health. CACES developed and applied novel measurement and modeling approaches to understand the spatial and temporal differences in human exposures to air pollution and associated health outcomes. CACES used models to investigate a range of technology and policy scenarios for addressing our nation’s air, climate, and energy challenges, and tested their potential ability to meet policy goals such as improved health outcomes and cost-effectiveness. CACES had cross-cutting themes of multi-pollutant, environmental justice, modifiable factors, regional differences and development and dissemination of tools for air quality impact assessment.
