Retrofitting existing Commerical Buildings for Smart Grid
This document discusses making "dumb" buildings smarter through new wireless technology that can retrofit existing pneumatic HVAC systems. It describes how most commercial buildings built before 1995 still rely on outdated pneumatic controls that waste energy and are difficult to maintain. A new wireless solution can replace thermostats in just 20 minutes, enabling remote monitoring, automatic calibration, and demand response capabilities. This low-cost retrofit opens opportunities for utility incentives and improves energy efficiency, maintenance costs, and tenant satisfaction compared to traditional expensive and disruptive replacements. The technology also enables automated monitoring of gauges, steam traps, and connectivity to existing building automation systems.
Integrated Passive Solar Design: The Essence of a Green Building
This workshop provides the essential elements of how a passive solar designed-house provides occupants with year-round comfort and very low energy bills. Also explored will be how the integration of proper building envelope, beneficial solar orientation and deliberately designed thermal mass come together to make such buildings perform beyond anything currently under construction.

The Importance of Energy Efficiency in Climate Action Plans
Energy use and climate change are inextricably linked. The majority of U.S. greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions - 84 percent - are in the form of carbon dioxide (CO2), resulting almost entirely from the combustion of fossil fuels.
Choices made today in the current national energy policy debate will directly impact U.S. greenhouse gas emissions far into the future. Decision-makers face the challenge of crafting policies that allow the United States to meet its energy needs while acting responsibly to reduce GHG emissions. There is a substantial convergence between the goals of energy policy and climate policy, and many feasible and beneficial policies from supply and security perspectives can also reduce future U.S. greenhouse gas emissions. This presentation considers near-term energy policies that can be adopted in the context of the energy policy debate to best position the local governments to reduce GHG emissions and to implement future climate change policies. In summary, the audience will learn the following:
• Link between energy and climate
• Energy policy context
• Economics of energy
• Example energy reduction/efficiency policies contained in Climate Action Plans.

Sustainable communities - Blackson
Howard Blackson - Placemakers, LLC
In the 20th century, we have spent a lot of money and resources to build cultural wastelands that adversely affects our quality-of-life. With the demise of redevelopment in California, in conjunction with the demonization of Smart Growth, the future relevancy of these places rests upon our ability repurpose these miles and miles of regrettable and devalued strip centers, office parks, and housing tracks. Unfortunately, most citizens oppose any new development due to its potential conflict with their existing community character. Applying an urban design technique that purposely codes for a specific community character, this presentation will outline 21st century urban design tools to build towards walkable, mixed-use neighborhood centers.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

"Choosing proper type of scaling", Olena Syrota
Imagine an IoT processing system that is already quite mature and production-ready and for which client coverage is growing and scaling and performance aspects are life and death questions. The system has Redis, MongoDB, and stream processing based on ksqldb. In this talk, firstly, we will analyze scaling approaches and then select the proper ones for our system.
