Public Health Impacts

IEc quantifies energy program and policy-related impacts on public health and wellbeing with a particular focus on analyzing how energy transitions affect underserved, marginalized, and otherwise disadvantaged communities. The firm has decades of experience conducting rigorous benefits assessments that quantify health outcomes associated with air quality improvements, renewable energy deployment, and climate mitigation strategies. IEc’s staff have developed and applied sophisticated modeling tools—such as EPA’s Environmental Benefits Mapping and Analysis Program (BenMAP-CE)—to estimate health benefits and distributional impacts across populations.

This technical capability, combined with IEc’s commitment to incorporating environmental justice into policy analysis, positions the firm to help clients design and evaluate energy policies that advance public health and equity objectives. IEc’s multidisciplinary team of public health professionals, policy analysts, economists, and environmental scientists work collaboratively with state and federal agencies to ensure that energy decisions are informed by sound science, transparent analysis, and a clear understanding of impacts on vulnerable communities.
