Energy data is critical to defining a city's infrastructure. And it is nuanced because while some of it is public, some of it is sensitive and not-public. It is distributed: different utilities keep different data. It is complex. Just considering that there is data around resources, supply, production, consumption, safety, etc. and you can see how!



Come here from three experts who are leaders in finding and using this kind of data.



Chris Wheat is from the Mayor's office and has done a great deal of work on residential energy data. He will spend a few minutes talking about the City's role with energy data: the why, the how, the limitations, and the big picture.



Matt Gee is a data scientist, a social scientist, and runs Data Science for Social Good. As Data Scientist for the Center for Data Science and Public Policy at UChicago, he leads applied research in energy, sustainability, and economic development. And as a Research Fellow for the famed Urban Center for Computation and Data, he develops new methods for helping cities understand themselves through open data.



Leah Guzowski is the Director, Strategic Programs at Argonne National Laboratory and is a Fellow at University of Chicago. She is an energy policy scientist at Argonne where she currently serves in a leadership capacity as Director of Strategic Programs with a focus on advancing global security and energy.



Great speakers, great time. We are at the Aon Center (200 E. Randolph, Suite 200, tall white building).



And we will have pizza.
