SUMMARY:CANCELLED    Towards Net Zero: Case studies of local energy generation and bottom-up aggregation for buildings and cities
DESCRIPTION:this online Gaia Talk has been cancelled\n\nThis is the 3rd SPE Gaia Talk in the Online APAC SPE GAIA Webinar Series.  Registration is free.  \n  \nTo register go to https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_R1hil7jnSBmzs2uDjkJHxQ \n  \nThe Talk\nEnergy is an indispensable commodity for modern civilisation and buildings consume more than 40% of energy and emit a third of GHG emissions. Increasing energy efficiency\, generation and on-site storage in cities will be significant drivers for achieving net zero targets.  This talk will discuss case studies from the Asia Pacific on solar PV energy in buildings. A simulation platform for estimating solar potential from buildings and cities will be presented. Combining geo-spatial\, weather and urban datasets with solar irradiance estimation\, results from the case studies at building\, local neighbourhood and urban scale will be presented. The potentials and barriers for bottom-up aggregation of local energy systems will be discussed \nThe Speaker\nProfessor Sambit Datta is Dean International of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at Curtin University. Prof Datta studied architecture at the School of Architecture\, Centre for Environmental Planning and Technology (CEPT) in Ahmedabad\, India. He completed his Master of Architecture at the National University of Singapore and his doctorate in the field of Computational Design at the University of Adelaide. A recipient of the Michael Ventris Memorial Award from the Institute of Classical Studies\, Cambridge\, he was a Michael Ventris Memorial Scholar at the Architectural Association\, London. \n
