An electric vehicle (EV), also called electrics is a vehicle that uses one or more electric motors or traction motors for propulsion. An electric vehicle may be powered through a collector system by electricity from off-vehicle sources, or may be self-contained with a battery, solar panels, fuel cells or an electric generator to convert fuel to electricity.

Re-Energizing Our Cities: From District to Specific - Integral GroupToronto 2030 District
Dave Ramslie and Gerry Faubert, Principals, Integral Group
Reenergizing our Cities! – Integrated District Scale Energy Planning
Investment in our buildings and infrastructure has never been more timely. Energy solutions that work for both new development and for the retention and re-imagining of our existing buildings are possible today. The scale and application of these solutions from grass roots community engagement programs, to retro-commissioning, big data and the development of large sale renewable energy solutions can work together to lower emissions and improve our collective quality of life. Using case studies such as the development of new district ambient loop in downtown Vancouver using existing fire protection infrastructure and the promotion of deep green retrofits in multi-unit residential buildings through the Condo Retrofit Assistance Financing Trial (CRAFT) Dave Ramslie and Gerry Faubert will examine how a variety of solutions deployed at the neighborhood level can be aligned to achieve significant community wide energy savings and economic revitalization.
Bob Bach presents on changes to the energy efficiency requirements that are included in the Ontario Building Code (OBC2012) which will launch Jan 1 2014, as well as expected changes in the 2017 version of the code.
Innovation needs for the integration of electric vehicles into the energy systemDrStefanWolf
The mitigation of climate change and the substitution of fossil energy sources is one of the greatest tasks of
our time. Electric mobility is the most promising solution to decarbonize the transport sector. As the market
for electric vehicles is quickly gaining momentum, an urgent need for intelligent integration of the
energy and mobility system arises. This integration leads to a multitude of technical, economic and social
challenges. Thus, this paper aims to identify the need for future research, development, standardization and
regulation to provide recommendations for action.

Biden – With a new administration taking office and a new decade upon us, it’s a perfect opportunity to recommit holding the automobile industry accountable under the Clean Air Act. While 50 years of regulation have brought with it substantial benefits, four years of automotive rollbacks have taken their toll, with stagnating fuel economy and numerous pollution scandals plaguing the industry.

Electric vehicles and electric utilities – a clear opportunity with many shapesCarlo Stella
While several stakeholders are supportive of the widespread adoption of electric vehicles, we have looked specifically at electric utilities to understand the opportunities that such a change in the transportation landscape can generate, and define the key questions to be addressed in order to embrace them. We have identified four business models – by no means evolutionary – that can be looked at independently, and eventually combined to fit the company’s strategy and the specific market conditions (e.g., regulation, competition, ecosystem, customer readiness). We strongly believe electric utilities are ideally positioned to leverage the opportunities offered by the adoption of electric vehicles on a mass-market scale, but they need to act fast, as many other players are addressing the same opportunity

Global lithium supply and demand at the end of last year was nearly even, according to data from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence. By 2025, though, demand is expected to outstrip supply by nearly 228,000 tons.
Prices have started to inch higher, especially in China, the world’s largest EV market, but must rise at least 10% more to make any expansions worthwhile, Norris said.

Closing the loops – sustainable systems for energy, waste and water and in the Western Harbour, Malmö, Sweden” Historically, Kockums shipyard was located in the Western Harbour which today hosts thousands of apartments and offices. The first development, Bo01, was designed to use and produce 100% locally renewable energy over the course of a year. Buildings receive energy from solar, wind and a heat pump that extracts heat from an aquifer that facilitates seasonal storage of heat and cold water in the limestone ground. The different stages in the Western Harbour have piloted different waste separation systems. Food waste is gathered in storage tanks and transported for biogas production. All areas in the Western Harbour have good access to walking paths, bike lanes, buses and car pools.

If necessity is the mother of invention then uncertainty is the seed for innovation. We live in uncertain times. Our trusted climate models and long-cherished engineering tools and formulas are being severely tested and are often incapable of coping with inherent uncertainties of our natural and human environments. Challenged by the severe climate events, economic and population pressures and aging infrastructure, cities are forced to reconsider the concepts of planning and scale. In this presentation we will explore the idea of urban infrastructure design and planning derived from a new paradigm in water management. Focusing on what we already know and presenting tools we already posses, the presentation discusses how to transition from current deterministic approach in planning to a more adaptive approach that incorporates water management using a post-normal systems approach. Technical, regulatory and design examples will be provided to highlight the transition already underway. Examples include distributed water reuse and recovering energy and other resources from wastewater.
What is "Model" Sustainability? UniverCity's Journey Toward Sustainability T...Toronto 2030 District
Dale Mikkelsen, Director of Development, SFU Community Trust
Simon Fraser University (SFU) created its Community Trust to develop a model community on about 65 hectares of land surrounding SFU’s Burnaby campus in British Columbia.
That ‘sustainable community on the mountain’ became UniverCity, the award-winning, mixed-use, transit-oriented district with a diverse range of housing choices, shops, services, and amenities. And the UniverCity Childcare Centre is expected to be the first building in Canada to meet the Living Building Challenge, the most ambitious rating system in North America for environmentally sustainable architectural design.
A model for practical and affordable sustainability, UniverCity also generates endowment wealth to support teaching and research at SFU.
As the Director of Development for SFU Community Trust, Dale Mikkelsen is charged with raising the bar of sustainable community planning to ensure UniverCity remains on the leading edge of energy efficiency, material conservation, healthy environments and community building.
Mikkelsen brings a wealth of experience to the UniverCity project having been the lead project planner for the City of Vancouver’s 2010 Athlete Village, the City of Vancouver’s Green Building Planner, and a Board Member for the International Living Future Institute.

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.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.

Editor's Notes
Introduction Ontario overview Ontario energy market collaboration projects
Henry Ford:Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is blackHe wanted to make the car affordable to the masses and by 1918, half of all cars in America were Model T's. Ford invented the moving assembly line.15,007,034 total production of Model T Fords a record held for 45 years.
Streamline the process for generators to receive permits and approvals – particularly environmental and municipal-level.We are moving toward a modern, smart electricity system that will help consumers have greater control over their energy usage.Moving Ontario from dirty coal dependency to a clean, modern and reliable energy economy that creates jobs. Energy is one of the engines of our economy and employs more than 95,000 Ontarians.As Ontario’s energy infrastructure ages, we will need to rebuild or create another 15,000 MW of generating capacity over the next 20 years. We need to have a balanced low-carbon supply mix to meet energy needs cleanly and reliably — Ontario will be ready for when North America moves to greenhouse gas regulation. “The Ontario Green Energy Act is the most progressive renewable energy policy in North America in three decades”.Paul Gipe, renewable energy authority, Bakersfield, California
By 2030, Ontario’s population is expected to rise about 28 per cent — a gain of almost 3.7 million people. Ontario’s population will become more urbanized with population growth taking place in primarily urban areas. The Greater Toronto Area (GTA) population will increase by almost 38 per cent over the same period.
Generation, or the amount of electricity Ontario produces, is measured in terawatt hours (TWh or billion kWh). The capacity of the system, or what it is able to generate, is measured in megawatts (MW). Note: The capacity of the system is necessarily larger than what is actually generated.
A smart grid refers to a two-way system that monitors and automatically optimizes the operation of the interconnected elements of the power system.The goal of a smart grid is to use advanced information-based technologies to increase grid efficiency, reliability and flexibility. It enables better use of the existing delivery infrastructure and offers benefits for both the consumer and the environment.Principles:Improved System Reliability Increased Customer Participation (An Empowered Consumer Base)Environmental Benefits Smart homes = electric vehicles = interactive gridWith the phase‐out of coal generation in the province, plug‐in hybrid electricvehicles provide a unique opportunity for Ontario to reduce greenhouse gasemissions through fuel switching.PowerStream:$15million commitment over 5 yearsSmart Meters in Ontario:The IESO is responsible for managing the province-wide data repository that collects and manages smart meter consumption data used to create time-of-use bills.
