Abstract
  • Designs for improved cookstoves aim to decrease the detrimental environmental and health impacts that are associated with traditional biomass cooking practiced by nearly 40% of the global population. Programs to provide improved cookstoves are found worldwide, and regional testing centers support development of these through emissions testing services. Aprovecho Research Center is a non-profit organization that provides Laboratory Emissions Monitoring Systems (LEMS) to testing centers around the world to enable accurate and efficient emissions testing capabilities. Currently, emissions data are analyzed with a set of macro-enabled Excel sheets, but they are being converted to a Python-based system to enable greater functionality and data sharing. This project sought to create an appropriate user interface for this Python code that could be used by researchers globally. A Jupyter Notebook was chosen because of its flexible, user-friendly interface with live updating and ability to hide or display code as needed. The Jupyter Notebook that was developed reads data from Excel input sheets and outputs graphs and tables that are easy to analyze. While there is still work to test and improve the Jupyter Notebook with global users, initial testing and feedback indicates the Jupyter Notebook interface provides the automated, user-friendly analysis needed to support the LEMS system.
