Modeling the Energy Future: Ants, Birds and Dr. Strange
The engine behind the analysis in BloombergNEF's New Energy Outlook (NEO) is the New Energy Forecast Model, or NEFM. This week, Switched On speaks with Ian Berryman, modeling analyst for BNEF. He'll tell us how the model works, the process he and team went through in building it, and how he took cues from ants and birds in building a lot of the software that powers it.
This episode is based on the model powering the New Energy Outlook 2020, BNEF's flagship report. BNEF clients can access this report on bnef.com or BNEF Mobile, or at BNEF
