Cookstove Field Monitoring Technologies

Latest advances and FAQs

August 24, 2016

11:00 AM - 12:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time (EDT)

Field monitoring technologies for cookstoves cover a range of diverse
monitoring needs from health and climate monitoring to usage and adoption.
They can help you better understand your impacts, and adapt and strengthen
your strategies to better meet the needs of customers and donors. They're
also valuable tools for growing sector knowledge around field use and
impacts. Significant advances have been made since
<http://pciaonline.org/webinars/advances_in_cookstove_field_monitoring> EPA
and Winrock first covered the topic in a webinar 3 years ago. 

You've probably heard about these technologies, but have questions about how
they are used practically in the field, what skills are required, what type
of data you'll get at the end of their deployment, and how you can use the
results of this type of monitoring.  

If so - you're in luck!

TODAY! We have assembled a panel of experts on field monitoring across a
range of sectors - including cookstoves - but also for monitoring water,
coldchain and other environmental conservation products and projects.
They're ready to answer as many of your Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
about field monitoring as they can in the time allotted. 

During the registration process for the webinar you'll have a chance to
submit questions for discussion, and we'll select the most commonly asked to
present during the webinar. Time permitting, at the end of the webinar we'll
take additional questions from those in attendance. You'll also hear about
the latest advancements in field monitoring technologies, and some examples
and case studies of their use in the field to inform programs and business
development.

Webinar participation is free. For the web portion, a high-speed internet
connection is required. Please note that the webinar technology allows
attendees to listen to audio through their computer or by phone.  Additional
log-in information will be provided upon registration.

Ms. Tara Ramanathan

As leader of Nexleaf Analytics's Cookstoves Program for 2.5 years, Ms.
Ramanathan focuses on building scalable business models to increase adoption
of the cleanest, best-performing cookstoves. In 2016 she co-authored a
chapter on how to enable results-based financing through real-time sensors
and clean cookstoves in the book Broken Pumps and Promises. She believes
data has the power to shift accountability and conversations about cookstove
adoption-placing focus on useful stove designs and scalable implementation
models-effectively enabling women to adopt life-saving clean energy
technologies

Dr. Michael Johnson

Dr. Johnson is a Senior Scientist at Berkeley Air Monitoring Group. His work
focuses on field based assessments of household energy projects, including
studies on stove performance and usage, indoor air quality, personal
exposure, and health impacts. Dr. Johnson has over 20 publications to his
name on household energy and is a co-author of the WHO Indoor Air Quality
Guidelines for Household Fuel Combustion.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (U.S. EPA) and Winrock
International have been engaged in the household energy field for many
years, including through coordination of the Partnership for Clean Indoor
Air (PCIA) and its 590 Partners working in 117 countries from 2002-2012.
Since the integration of PCIA and the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves
in 2012, Winrock and the U.S. EPA have continued working to increase the
exchange of technical information among public and private organizations
working in the global household energy and health sectors through local
capacity building, targeted technical assistance and field studies and
global knowledge sharing. The goal of these activities is to promote
effective approaches that lead to increased use of clean, reliable,
affordable, efficient, and safe home cooking and heating practices.
