Mission Statement
The mission of the Computational Laboratory for Energy, Air, and Risk (CLEAR)
is to develop new methods and models for quantification of energy and environmental
problems for the purpose of improving public and private decision making.
Description of Facilities
CLEAR, under the direction of Dr. H.C. Frey, is comprised of
computational facilities in support of the Laboratory's mission. CLEAR
is located in the Department of Civil, Construction, and Environmental
Engineering at NC State University. The
facilities of CLEAR include both hardware and software for:
Simulation of Process Technologies, including
- Process performance
- Process emissions
- Process economics
Quantification of Variability and Uncertainty
Development of Emission Inventories
Exposure and Risk Assessment
CLEAR is located in the Department of Civil Engineering at North
Carolina State University.
Recent Projects
In recent projects, CLEAR has been utilized to:
- Develop new performance, emissions, and cost models
of advanced power generation and air pollution prevention and control
technologies;
- Develop probabilistic estimates of highway vehicle
emission factors;
- Quantify uncertainty in predictions of ozone levels
based upon propagation of uncertainty in emissions and other air quality
model inputs; and
- Develop new methods for quantification of
variability and uncertainty and propagation of both through models.
