Building Energy Rating & Disclosure: A Catalyst for EfficiencyCliff Majersik
85% of buildings in operation in 2030 will be buildings we already have today. That means we need to maximize their efficiency. Building energy rating & disclosure--tracking the energy consumption of buildings and comparing it--is an effective way to catalyze greater efficiency.

The International Energy Agency’s annual benchmark for tracking energy investment, World Energy Investment 2019 provides a full picture of today’s capital flows and what they might mean for tomorrow’s energy sector. It assesses whether the frameworks and strategies put in place by governments, the energy industry, and financial institutions are spurring timely investment, and how spending across sectors and technologies matches with the world’s energy security and sustainability needs.
Dr Fatih Birol, Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, spoke at the EU-US Business to Business Energy Forum in Brussels on May 2, 2019, about the global LNG trade.
his webinar presented the most recent findings from IEA’s Energy Efficiency Market Report 2018, featuring:
- The Efficient World Scenario: What would happen by 2040 if countries realised all the economically viable energy efficiency potential that is available today?
- The Efficient World Strategy: The policies, technologies and strategies for achieving an Efficient World exist today. Global experiences point the way.
- Special focus on South Africa and other emerging economies: highlights, progress, and potential.
- Findings on the current rate of progress on improving energy efficiency, and historic and current trends.
The webinar was organised by the South African Department of Energy’s Energy Efficiency Initiatives Directorate and the International Energy Agency, and is presented by Joe Ritchie, Energy Policy Analyst at the IEA and report coordinator.
This webinar focused on where we are today and how we could achieve key energy-related sustainable developments goals on climate change; air quality and universal access to modern energy.

What do changing energy dynamics mean for the world’s largest oil and gas exporters? A new special report, part of the IEA’s flagship World Energy Outlook series, focuses on six key producers, Iraq, Nigeria, Russia, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates & Venezuela, and examines the pressures that they face in different price and policy scenarios to 2040. The drive for energy efficiency and the long-term response to climate change, in addition to technology innovation and the shale revolution, all point to sustained pressure on economies that rely heavily on revenue from oil and gas.
Dr. Fatih Birol, the Executive Director of the International Energy Agency, gave a talk at Imperial College London on 20 March 2018 to discus how new technologies - including electrification & digitalisation – create opportunities, but also risks & uncertainty.
Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.
zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

A tale of scale & speed: How the US Navy is enabling software delivery from l...sonjaschweigert1
Rapid and secure feature delivery is a goal across every application team and every branch of the DoD. The Navy’s DevSecOps platform, Party Barge, has achieved:
- Reduction in onboarding time from 5 weeks to 1 day
- Improved developer experience and productivity through actionable findings and reduction of false positives
- Maintenance of superior security standards and inherent policy enforcement with Authorization to Operate (ATO)
Development teams can ship efficiently and ensure applications are cyber ready for Navy Authorizing Officials (AOs). In this webinar, Sigma Defense and Anchore will give attendees a look behind the scenes and demo secure pipeline automation and security artifacts that speed up application ATO and time to production.
We will cover:
- How to remove silos in DevSecOps
- How to build efficient development pipeline roles and component templates
- How to deliver security artifacts that matter for ATO’s (SBOMs, vulnerability reports, and policy evidence)
- How to streamline operations with automated policy checks on container images

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Perception of general public as new expression of bureaucracy. Information on EPC
CZ not very useful. Only EPC for new buildings and major renovations. Main group of

For new buildings EPCs are issued more than for transaction moments for existing

14. Identified barriers
• Country-specific circumstances such as:
• Slow administrative procedures in Spain due to the delegation of responsibilities from a national to a
regional level;
• Commitments on payment for the Energy Performance Certificate in Hungary. In Hungary the public
can, in principle, reject a regulation via a referendum and it difficult to impose financial obligations,
especially when people do not see the added value of the EPC;
• Some interference by market players/stakeholders with political choices of EPC implementation in the
Czech Republic by raising a discussion about the values of primary energy coefficients.
• Reliability, transparency and usability of the EPCs for consumers and the choices
(e.g. assessment method, administrative and enforcement system and the
involvement of relevant stakeholders);
• Lack of awareness regarding the EPC obligations.
15. Policy recommendations and conclusions
Reproducibility and accuracy of the EPC methodology
Exchange of experience, knowledge development and continuous
consultation with stakeholders
A clear legislative and administrative framework
An effective registration and quality control system
An appropriate level of consideration given by the implementation
authorities
Clear and appropriate enforcement
