ABOUT THE MODEL

US Environmentally Extended Input-Output (USEEIO) Model


  • USEEIO is the national model for estimating life cycle environmental performance of all US goods and services.
  • The data model can help identify prosperous areas for development with fewer adverse impacts.
  • The model is used by companies like Amazon and Microsoft to estimate carbon emissions.




Embeddable Widgets

OBJECTIVE

To develop, customize and improve community-focused web resources that integrate USEEIO widgets with other data sources to inform sustainability practices and innovative new development.


DETAILS

Tools for Industrial Ecology Modeling (TIEM) using the EPA's API data.
DreamStudio's Model.earth Web tools are on the right - pulling data from USEEIO API .json files.
