User Design and Functionality
Web-based tools which support interactive data visualizations and queries have become increasingly important within the environmental sciences (Vitolo et al. 2015). It is incumbent on the creators of these tools to think carefully about user experience an

ergy Use in Cities “The book provides a unique knowledge resource for researchers, practitioners and decision-makers alike. It is based on a detailed and novel methodology to interrogate the socio-spatial features of energy demand across regions and cities, opening the path for ambitious measures to transform our relationship with energy and infrastructure in response to the global climate challenge.” —Stefan Bouzarovski, Professor, Department of Geography, University of Manchester “The Energy Atlas provides insightful and detailed information on localized energy consumption for the City of Los Angeles. As LADWP builds the energy grid of the future, the Energy Atlas remains vital in the development and incorporation of new clean technologies into the grid. The Energy Atlas assists LADWP to better understand building energy consumption across the diverse neighborhoods of Los Angeles. Now, as LADWP begins to incorporate distributed energy resources, energy storage, and building electrification technologies into the grid, UCLA’s Energy Atlas has new importance in maintaining reliability and managing customer demand.” —Steve Baule, Director of Sustainable Projects in the Office of Sustainability at Los Angeles Department of Water and Power “The team at UCLA have created a wonderfully, comprehensive, knowledge base with the Energy Atlas—an interactive data centric, map of energy consumption that enables us as Strategic Sustainability Consultants to rapidly develop insight into local community level energy usage and GHG emissions, to support the development of climate action planning and energy reduction strategies that we are currently undertaking in Southern California.” —David Herd, Managing Partner, BuroHappold “If global society is to overcome climate change, then it needs significant transformation in urban energy systems to occur. With Californian cities leading the way, Dr. Pincetl and her team have constructed and analyzed the most amazing, spatially detailed data-sets. They have found solutions to formidable data access challenges and explored thorny issues of social justice under energy transitions. This book is essential reading for local governments, planners and academics looking to build sustainable cities.” —Chris Kennedy, Chair of Civil Engineering, University of Victoria, Canada
