This document discusses system design for sustainable energy and distributed renewable energy. It argues that sustainable development is not possible without sustainable energy for all. Distributed renewable energy, using small-scale local generation from sources like sun and wind, is key to achieving sustainability and can be facilitated through sustainable product-service systems. A new role for designers is needed in system design for sustainable energy to develop solutions that provide access to energy and fulfill needs through affordable and sustainable means. Case studies of approaches in locations like Brazil and potential projects in Africa are discussed.
This is a practical plan to fix Australia’s buildings
in a decade. We can act now to halve the energy use
of our buildings, deliver energy freedom to people
and transform our homes and workplaces to provide
greater comfort with lower energy bills.
The vision. The Zero Carbon Australia Buildings Plan is the
first comprehensive, nationwide plan to retrofit Australia’s
buildings. This plan demonstrates how all existing buildings
can reach zero emissions from their operation within ten
years. It sets out how Australia can transform its building
stock to reduce energy bills, generate renewable energy,
add health and comfort to our living spaces, and make our
workplaces more productive.
The rationale. Australia’s existing buildings are not
adequately designed to meet many of the challenges we
face today. Australian houses and workplaces are often
unnecessarily cold in winter, hot in summer, and expensive
to run. We now have the technologies and know-how to
make our buildings far more comfortable, while protecting
us from rising electricity and gas bills.
The science is clear that, in order to reverse climate disruption,
developed nations must begin transitioning their economies
to zero greenhouse gas emissions, starting now. Accordingly,
in June 2010, Beyond Zero Emissions (BZE) launched the
ground-breaking Zero Carbon Australia (ZCA) Stationary
Energy Plan that showed how Australia’s electricity could
be supplied by 100% renewable energy sources within 10
years.

Non technological innovation: How to innovate cheaply !Sophie Racquez
In a context of globalized economy and crisis, companies are facing more and more competition. They want to gain market shares or at least not to loose existing ones and they want to bring to the market innovative goods or services. Cuts in R&D expenditures are unavoidable, so why not turn to non technological innovation - cheap and easy to get started with.

Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

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.

stored in the form of hydrogen,
distributed via an energy internet—a

opens the door to a Third Industrial
Revolution.”

THE THIRD INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION
17. Carlo Vezzoli
Politecnico di Milano / DESIGN dept. / DIS / School of Design / Italy
1. shifting to renewable energy (solar, wind, hydro,
geothermal, ocean waves and biomass)
2. buildings as power plants
3. deploying hydrogen and other storage
technologies in every building and throughout the
infrastructure to store intermittent energies
4. using internet technology to transform the power
grid of every continent into an energy sharing
intergrid that acts just like the internet
5. transitioning the transport fleet to electric, plug
in and fuel cell vehicles that can buy and sell
electricity on a smart continental interactive
