AB April Meetup - Builders, Movers, and Shakers

Welcome to Analyze Boulder 35! We have a great lineup of speakers talking about buildings, carsharing, and Congressional votes and bills. As always, we'll be pouring great beer from Vindication Brewing Company (http://vindicationbrewing.com/).

Aide Fitch will discuss a new way of modeling building performance using large amounts of back-end data rather than complex algorithms, working with building experts to set up data modeling, and setting up the back-end with automations (in Python and other languages) that generate and transcribe large blocks of data.

Brian Timoney analyzed 6 months of Denver carsharing data for urban mobility patterns of urban mobility. He'll walk us through when and where people use the service, what happens when the service area shrinks and when rates are cut, and how much car2go should be paying the city for users to park at the city's meters.

Samuel Sherman will show us how the topics Congress has been talking about since 1993 have changed, using public data on votes and bills, and how models on that data can predict the percent of yes votes belonging to a specific party, and whether a bill will reach the floor for a vote.
