The goal of this discussion is to demystify building performance modeling. Computer-simulations give you a more complete picture of how various context and design factors can affect the performance of your space. Modeling information can help you analyze the impacts of your design decisions and determine how to most effectively meet project goals.
Energy modeling is also valuable tool used for code compliance and LEED points. Not to mention the fancy graphics that models produce to show your clientele your commitment to performance-based design.
This discussion will present various opportunities that can arise from building performance simulations with analysis at the early design, whole building, and building component levels. We will examine the following types of analysis:
• Climate
• Daylighting
• Massing and orientation
• Whole building energy usage forecast
• Fenestration design
• Façade development
• Zone level energy performance
• Baseline and design case models
• System selection and optimization

Improving energy efficiency in a municipal building: a case study in South Af...Luis Ram Rojas-Sol
This paper examines the energy efficiency impact of replacing fluorescent lamps with light emitting diode (LED),
and electric water heaters with solar thermal systems in two municipal buildings in Ekurhuleni, South Africa. A
retrofitting project with LEDs and solar water heaters offers the opportunity to increase energy efficiency and lower
electricity expenditure. For both scenarios, we present an analysis of the energy, cost and CO2 emissions savings,
as well as financial indicators to show whether the project is feasible. We also consider the energy efficiency impact
of installing motion sensors. Our analysis shows that switching from fluorescent to LEDs achieves 37.3% energy
savings and 41.6 tonnes CO2 equivalent emissions savings, and installing motion sensors results in 56.8% energy
savings and 73.8 tonnes CO2 equivalent emissions reduction. With motion sensors, the project has an NPV of
17,163 USD and a payback period of 2.4 years, compared to 29,682 USD and 2.8 years without. The solar water
heater project allows for 63.3% in energy and 9.2 tonnes CO2 equivalent emissions savings over the electric water
heaters. In addition, the effects of South African energy efficiency policies on the financial outlook of the project
were assessed. With policies, the NPV of the lighting project with LEDs and motion sensors increases to 36,263
USD and the payback period decreases to 1.4 years. For the solar water heater project, existing policies allow
receiving 56.4% of capital cost in incentives and rebates, which results in a payback period of 5.7 years.

This report focuses on Michelin’s fleet solutions (MFS) activity and the way the company has dealt with the transition from product provider to service provider so far. It sums up some major strategic and business-environmental reasons for making services a core business, even though the results have not been as convincing as expected. It identifies the key elements of the company’s business model that should be strengthened and innovated upon for Michelin to build its service activity as a successful complement to tyre sales. Finally it details the impact of the suggestions on the cost structure and revenues streams, and the challenges associated with the proposed innovation.

The drive towards delivering a Net Zero economy is ramping up and now more than ever we need to take action in all aspects of our daily lives to reach this goal. But as lighting designers, how can we make this change when essentially specifying energy using products is what we do. So where do we start when embarking on this journey and importantly how can we limit our impact on the environment when delivering lighting projects?
Kristina will present the Society of Light and Lighting's (SLL) TM66 - 'Creating a Circular Economy in the Lighting Industry' with an accompanying metric - Circular Economy Assessment Method (CEAM). This will help everyone on their journey in creating a circular economy in the lighting industry.

Towards a systems approach in Ecodesign and Energy Labelling: How to make the...Leonardo ENERGY
View recordings of the workshop at https://youtu.be/06U1MXlLaNs
It is widely recognised that there are substantial additional energy savings to be made from taking a system approach – considering how products are combined and operate together. However, political ambition has not resulted in regulation. During this workshop, policy makers and key stakeholders will discuss implementation barriers and explore possible remedies.
The European Copper Institute commissioned research to look into the experience with developing system related ecodesign and energy labelling regulations to date (Brocklehurst, 2021). In their review, the authors analysed the common characteristics and challenges related to ecodesign and energy labelling of eight product groups that, at least to some extent, go beyond a ‘simple’ product.
During this workshop, the authors will present the findings of their study. Policy makers will be invited to present their views on taking the systems approach in ongoing product regulation initiatives. During a debate, we will invite stakeholders to share their experiences and views on systems approach in product regulation. We will evaluate implementation barriers and explore possible remedies.

US Department of Energy's Uniform Methods ProjectLeonardo ENERGY
This webinar will provide an overview of the US Department of Energy’s Uniform Methods Project that develops protocols for determining energy savings from energy efficiency measures and programs. The webinar will discuss its motivations, the development process, measures, and how they are used.
The cost-effectiveness tests used for energy efficiency programs are decades old and, in many cases, haven’t kept up with the energy policy goals of the states that use them. The National Standard Practice Manual (NSPM) is an attempt to bring cost-effectiveness testing up to date to meet modern needs.
In this webinar, we get an inside look at why the State of Minnesota re-evaluated their tests and how they used the NSPM to envision a new, customized Minnesota Test.
The webinar featured Adam Zoet, Principal Energy Planner with the Minnesota Department of Commerce and Tim Woolf, Vice President at Synapse Energy Economics, lead author of the Minnesota report and one of the NSPM authors.

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.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne

2. Framework for solutions
• Increasing pressure for energy efficiency creates
a difficult playground for passive safety
improvements
• Policies & regulations need to adress a holistic
approach of both road safety & environement
issues (example: Tire regulations)
• Road safety actions should activate 3 levers :
Vehicle (active & passive solutions),
Infrastructure, Driver behavior
• Environemental questions should adress CO2
emission from well to tire, and vehilce production
3. Solutions / challenges
• Safety regulations (and NCAP ratings)
should adapt passive performance tests to
include actual efficiency of active features
(to enable mass reduction)
• Technical ‘bricks’ exist but are not free…
• New harmonization activities are needed
for scaling solutions and cost reduction
4. Actions to facilitate
implementation of solutions
• European combined studies must be
funded to provide data to measure
progress of active and passive safety
solutions for mass reduction
