27 Nov @ 4PM IST. Air-conditioned buildings are conventionally designed and operated to maintain homogeneous thermal conditions withing thermal zones. Maintaining the occupied and unoccupied thermal zones at the same thermal conditions lead to higher energy consumption. More importantly,
ACEEE research has found that energy efficiency can halve U.S. energy use and greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. With growing interest in policies to address global climate change, as well as a new Congress and a new presidential term to begin in January 2021, ACEEE will be hosting the Energy Efficiency and Climate Policy Forum...
The Behavior, Energy & Climate Change Conference (BECC) is the premier international conference focused on understanding human behavior and decision making and using that knowledge to accelerate the transition to a low-carbon future. Currently, in its 14th year, BECC is associated with a growing set of allied conferences in Europe and Asia. The BECC Conference...

The Sustainable Design Lab at MIT has developed an new web app called UBEM.io to streamline the creation and analysis of urban building energy models (UBEMs). The resulting urban models can be directly used within MITâs Urban Modeling Interface (UMI) to calculate operational building energy use along with savings from various retrofitting upgrades for hundreds or thousands of new or existing buildings. During this free, three day...
Digitalisation has fast permeated into the energy utilities too. Power plants, grid operators and electricity suppliers are adopting tools of the digital age to generate greater efficiencies across their operational business units, significantly improve customer experience, and accelerate innovation to stay ahead in rapidly changing markets. The Covid-19 pandemic has further hastened this trend as...
IFC is hosting a free workshop on Thursday, January 21 to learn practical steps for designing zero carbon buildings using EDGE: a fast, easy, and more affordable way to build and brand green. The workshop will focus on concrete actions that developers, investors, building owners, and policy makers can take to design, build, and operate...
