Researchers have developed a new software system capable of estimating greenhouse gas emissions across entire urban landscapes, all the way down to roads and individual buildings. Until now, scientists quantified carbon dioxide emissions at a much broader level. "Hestia" combines extensive public database "data-mining" with traffic simulation and building-by-building energy-consumption modeling.
