BarCamp Singapore 5 - Smart Green BuildlingsClayton Miller
This document discusses smart green buildings and how they can save energy. It defines a green building as one with the highest performance and lowest resource consumption and environmental impact. It notes that end-use efficiency is the largest contributor to reducing CO2 emissions. Buildings in Southeast Asia face challenges from heat and humidity, and the region's energy demand is forecast to increase significantly. Smart buildings can help close the performance gap between predicted and actual energy use through technologies like energy monitoring, automated fault detection, and giving occupants feedback to influence energy usage.
With the increase in the Carbon emissions by the globe,there has been catastrophic events under climate change, there are people who don't believe this but it caused by trapping heat, and they also contribute to respiratory disease from smog and air pollution.
Extreme weather, food supply disruptions, and increased wild fires are other effects of climate change caused by green house gases.
Major problem raised by Tim Kruger is that CUTTING carbon emission is NOT enough to make climate change stop. There is a need to adopt negative emission systems like plant more trees that absorb carbon from the air and store it below the surface of the earth, while the other option is to build machines. These Machine's primary scope is to absorb carbondioxide from the atmosphere and develop a model that would be sustainable to store Caron as well. Also, these activities must be safe, economic and socially acceptable.

This document summarizes an energy and environmental impact study of a cement plant in South Africa. It was found that insulating the preheater system was the most promising energy saving measure, with a payback period of only 7.5 months. Increasing the plant's exergetic efficiency from 39% to 43% through this measure would decrease environmental impacts according to the Eco Indicator method. The study also found that energy saving projects are generally less attractive in South Africa than Europe due to lower fuel prices and higher interest rates in South Africa.
The document discusses energy and climate change. It notes that 84% of UK greenhouse gas emissions are from energy use. Currently, the UK's energy comes from oil (40%), gas (40%), coal (5%), nuclear (3%), and renewables (12%). Energy is used in households (32%), non-domestic buildings (14%), industry (15%), and transport (39%). To achieve net zero emissions by 2050, the UK needs to halve energy demand and supply the remaining energy from renewables through actions like improving efficiency, adopting electric vehicles and renewable electricity, and eliminating fossil fuels from buildings and industry. This implies local actions like zero carbon new buildings, growing public transport and renewable electricity generation.

This project enumerates ways to mitigate climate change through eight strategies. Each strategy, called as 'wedge', when implemented could reduce carbon emission by 1b ton by 2055. This project prioritizes these strategies based on cost of implementation and public opinion. Ranks are assigned from 1 to 8, with 1 for highly feasible [low cost and less criticism] and 8 for hardly feasible.
As seen from the presentation, adopting to biofuels is found to be least feasible (rank-8), followed by fuel switching for electricity (rank-7). In contrast, improving transport efficiency is found to be highly feasible (rank-1), followed by efficiency in electricity production (rank-2). Justifications (qualitative and quantitative) are provided for the ranking of each strategy.
In the concluding slides, stakeholder perspectives are provided for automobile industry and industrial/developing nations. The climate wedges concept was developed by Princeton University, Ford and BP to find solutions to greenhouse gas problem (see references).

Hydrogen fuels are versatile, capable of being produced and used in many ways, including production from renewable sources and applications to decarbonize challenging areas, such as heavy transport, industry, and heat, as well as the storage and transport of energy. It is already widely used in industry and agriculture, but their current production carries a high greenhouse gas footprint. Significant greenhouse gas emission reductions could be achieved through decarbonization of production for both existing and new applications. However, it currently faces challenges that require technological advances, including in their generation, storage, and use, particularly the costs involved in achieving net zero life cycle emissions. Further research, development, demonstration, and deployment are required to identify the areas where hydrogen can make a critical difference in practice.

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
