Welcome to The Implications Model for eCooking (TIMeC). TIMeC is a live model intended to explore the impacts of moving from traditional cooking practices to cleaner, modern alternatives. With access to all parameters you can adjust inputs and investigate how costs, emissions, cooking time, and infrastructure requirements change between your expected current scenario and your proposed scenario. TIMeC has been designed for a wide range of users – including policymakers, utilities, modellers, researchers, NGOs, and practitioners.

Technical notes related to modelling methods
TIMeC – Technical Note: Energy consumption estimation
This document is a short technical note on how The Implications Model for eCooking (TIMeC) models energy consumption based on user inputs which form a cooking profile.
TIMeC – Technical Note: Grid load profile estimation
This document is a short technical note on how The Implications Model for eCooking (TIMeC) estimates the load profile expected on the national grid based on a transition from an existing cooking profile to a proposed cooking profile, where the two profiles may consist of varying reliance on the national grid.
