The presentation covers HDC's vision and targets to reduce emissions, introduce the Green Force program, and ways the Green Force network can make a difference through community projects, leadership, and changing behaviors. It concludes by emphasizing the importance of ambitious plans and actions to address climate change.
This document discusses the benefits of solar energy for residential use in El Paso, Texas. It notes that El Paso receives over 325 sunny days per year, making it well-suited for solar power. The document outlines the financial benefits of residential solar systems, including long-term cost savings compared to buying energy from utilities. It also discusses environmental benefits, such as reducing water usage at power plants. In conclusion, the document argues that solar energy provides households with income security by protecting them from rising energy costs over the 25-30 year lifespan of a solar installation.

A one day symposium on zero/low carbon sustainable homes took place at The University of Nottingham on the 24th October, 2012. The event offered professionals within the construction industry a unique opportunity to gain added and significant insight into the innovations, policies and legislation which are driving the construction of zero/low carbon energy efficient homes both here in the UK and elsewhere in Europe. It explored solutions to sustainability issues “beyond” the zero carbon agenda. BZCH followed on from the successful ‘Towards Zero Carbon Housing’ symposium the University hosted in 2007. This event is part of the Europe Wide Ten Act10n project which is supported by the European Commission Intelligent Energy Europe.

This document summarizes a presentation given at the Beyond Zero Carbon Housing Symposium at the University of Nottingham in 2012. The presentation was about the Activ-House project, which aimed to design a home that reduces carbon footprint through holistic performance rather than just construction and technology. It explored how contexts like community, location, and personal behavior can impact carbon emissions. The project also aimed to change personal behaviors around energy usage and maximize the possibilities of passive and active building components to further reduce emissions beyond what standard zero carbon programs focus on.
