Quick Start Tutorial: How to Use COBRA
COBRA allows you to estimate the impact of a change in air pollution resulting from a new policy, such as a clean energy policy, or a major fuel switching investment by a large pollution source. The Quick Start Tutorial below gives step-by-step instruction on how to estimate the potential air, health and related economic benefits from two clean energy policies that can affect emissions, including a renewable energy target or renewable portfolio standard and an energy efficiency building retrofit program and a program intended to reduce vehicle miles travelled.
Climate Pollution Reduction Grants Training Materials
COBRA can be used to estimate the health benefits of interventions implemented as part of the Climate Pollution Reduction Grants (CPRG). The materials below include a presentation with more information on estimating these benefits and sample datasets.
