Founded in 2007, Berkeley Air Monitoring Group LLC fills the need for rigorous scientific evaluation of initiatives designed to improve health and well being through improved household stoves, fuels, and education. We provide the capacity to assess the effects of household energy practices on indoor air pollution and health, greenhouse gas emissions (carbon credit generation), household fuel use, socioeconomic indicators and time-activity patterns, and technology adoption and usage. Berkeley Air's services include study design, field sampling, data analysis, report writing, presentation and training. Our firm has close ties to the University of California, Berkeley, and builds directly on the household energy monitoring and evaluation methods developed by the Kirk Smith Research Group (and colleagues) and implemented by the Center for Entrepreneurship in International Health and Development (CEIHD) with support and funding from the Shell Foundation. Berkeley Air will continue to partner with researchers at the University of California as well as other premier academic institutions to offer the most effective monitoring approaches, methodologies, and instruments.
