Here it is... after months of preparation the next phase of our development...

Building energy modeling is a powerful tool for optimizing resource management and creating near-low-consumption buildings. Our recent study evaluate the effectiveness of various active technologies in traditional buildings. By creating a comprehensive energy model, we were able to pinpoint areas for significant energy savings, particularly in electrical equipment and air conditioning. Dive into the full article to discover how these tools can drive us towards a more sustainable future.

Over the past four years, Oberlin has been installing geothermal infrastructure. Construction in partnership with Ever-Green Energy is now completed, and our new eco-friendly geothermal heating and cooling system is fully operational, replacing the outdated fossil fuel-based system just in time for winter. “Oberlin has been proactive about meeting the challenge of carbon neutrality,” says President Carmen Twillie Ambar. “We’re not avoiding our responsibility to future generations. We are acting now to address our aging energy system and thereby creating a more sustainable campus—and planet.” This marks a major milestone among many in Oberlin's Sustainable Infrastructure Program (SIP): 850 geothermal wells installed 60 campus buildings retrofitted 5+ million gallons of water saved annually 30% improvement in campus energy efficiency 100% carbon neutrality expected by 2025 For more on Oberlin’s Sustainable Infrastructure Program, visit https://lnkd.in/gDPaevw5 📸: Mike Crupi

🌍 Happy to share our latest research on the pivotal role of energy demand measures in achieving net-zero targets! Our team has recently published two peer-reviewed articles exploring the potential pathways for both Global South and Global North countries to achieve net-zero target. These studies highlight how energy demand measures can drive significant progress towards sustainable, carbon-neutral futures. 🔗 Read the papers here: 1️⃣ Navigating the transition: Modelling the path for net-zero European building sector (https://lnkd.in/gMwqyAQd) 2️⃣ Balancing energy transition: Assessing decent living standards and future energy demand in the Global South (https://lnkd.in/gcji6SP3) Would love to hear your thoughts on the implications of these findings for future energy policies and net-zero strategies! #NetZero #EnergyTransition #GlobalSouth #GlobalNorth #EnergyPolicy #Sustainability #Research #ClimateChange Diana Urge-Vorsatz

Resilience Redefined Ep15: Building Robust Energy Systems  This episode features insights from expert panel discussions at the Resilient Renewable Society Summit 2024 on energy sector preparedness and investments for a green future. It concludes with a compelling one-on-one conversation with Professor Yoav Yair, Dean of Sustainability at Reichman University, exploring resilience and sustainability challenges.

https://lnkd.in/dyYQ7FJW <<Out of all five scenarios, the 100 per cent renewable one stands out as the best choice for modernising the thermal power plant. It involves the use of heat pumps powered by solar PVs mounted on the heating substations and on the ash disposal sites. The electricity required to power the heat pumps when the solar PVs cannot provide it will be taken from the national grid. Along with a deep renovation of the apartment buildings stock, and the rehabilitation of the distribution system, the scenario is possible, viable from a technical-economic point of view and ‘easier to manage and safer from the point of view of continuity and safety of supply’, according to the authors of the study. >> #renovation #rehabilitation #technology #sustainability #modernisation #PVs #transition #Romania #bestpractices #safety #EU #energy

Power grids in many cities are being pushed to the edge of their operating limits with increased cooling demand and other climate change impacts. Analysis cited by the #IEA suggests that digitally enabled technologies could reduce the curtailment of variable renewable energy systems by more than 25% by 2030, increase system efficiency by 30% and reduce costs by up to 30% for customers. Improved access to and use of #data for #decisionmaking would also support faster and more targeted implementation of energy and climate goals and help align city and power system planning. Fully agree! 👇
