Project Highlights
City of edmond , OKlahoma | Resiliency Plan
Lotus worked with the City of Edmond to create the city’s first Resilience Action Plan. The plan centers city-level action around improving on current initiatives and incorporating new strategies that the city can implement to improve resiliency over the next five years. Informational interviews and dozens of focus groups helped inform existing conditions, resources, and programming in Edmond, as well as the desired future conditions for the city. The final plan is a dynamic, public-facing dashboard.
City of Denver impact report
For the past two years, Lotus has been supporting the City & County of Denver’s Office of Climate Action, Sustainability & Resiliency’s Annual Report. The report highlights the impact of Denver's investment into clean energy, energy efficiency, electrified transportation, circular economy, and more. By helping Denver align interventions, measures, and metrics to greenhouse gas reductions, Lotus has helped demonstrate a return on investment and the emissions saving from Denver’s voter approved Climate Protection Fund. Success like this is just one of many reasons Denver continues to be listed on CDP’s A-List for environmental leadership and transparency.
Georgia Tech Greenhouse Gas Reduction Strategy Simulator
The Offices of Sustainability and Innovation at Georgia Tech worked with Lotus to create a Tableau dashboard that allows users to adjust modeled emissions with full flexibility.
