The above mentioned studies, in detail, study the negative effects of using the oil type that can be extremely hazardous for the environment and suggests some of the solutions that can be used to bring down the boilers still using the conventional fuels.

Deliverables

In this project, I'll create uni/multi variate regression models for test the correlation between the variables and see how multiple variables affect the dependent variable. Along with that, I'll cluster the boiler emission and GHG emission at zip level to see which areas are highly affected by the emissions. With all this at my disposal, I'll be able to answer the question, Are Oil Boilers Polluting Your City?
