This document discusses turning buildings into power stations by generating, storing, and releasing energy on-site. It proposes coating buildings with functional materials that can harvest solar energy through photovoltaics and solar thermal technologies. The energy would be stored in on-site batteries and thermal tanks and used to power the building's lighting, heating, and other electrical needs. Pilot projects are exploring applying these coatings to office buildings and industrial sheds to generate electricity and purify water. The goal is to develop tools to model residential hybrid energy systems that integrate on-site supply, storage, and demand into a single building or community-level network to make buildings active power generators rather than passive energy consumers.

The document summarizes the findings of the AID-EE project, which evaluated 20 energy efficiency policies across Europe. Key lessons learned include: objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound to guide policy; the impact of individual policies is difficult to isolate as most use packages with interacting instruments; and monitoring and evaluation have been a low priority, despite being important to determine policy effects and efficiency. A policy theory approach that defines clear objectives, indicators and expected relationships can help design, monitor and evaluate policies.

Australia has abundant coal and gas resources but is becoming a net importer of liquid fuels. Greenhouse gas emissions are high per capita due to the energy-intensive economy. Key programs to improve energy efficiency include the National Framework for Energy Efficiency, Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act, and Minimum Energy Performance Standards. Smart metering and continued electricity market reforms aim to enable time-varying pricing and demand-side management, but regulators may not allow innovative tariffs. While on track to meet short-term climate targets, further energy efficiency and demand-side management policies are still needed to reduce emissions beyond 2010.
The document summarizes USA activities related to demand-side management (DSM), including demand response and energy efficiency. It notes there has been strong, renewed interest in these areas in the US after a decade of reduced focus. It provides an overview of the US electricity system and regulatory structure. It then discusses the status of demand response and energy efficiency programs and policies in the US, including key reports and initiatives. Barriers to greater adoption are also mentioned.

Suzanne Lagerweij - Influence Without Power - Why Empathy is Your Best Friend...Suzanne Lagerweij
This is a workshop about communication and collaboration. We will experience how we can analyze the reasons for resistance to change (exercise 1) and practice how to improve our conversation style and be more in control and effective in the way we communicate (exercise 2).
This session will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
Abstract:
Let’s talk about powerful conversations! We all know how to lead a constructive conversation, right? Then why is it so difficult to have those conversations with people at work, especially those in powerful positions that show resistance to change?
Learning to control and direct conversations takes understanding and practice.
We can combine our innate empathy with our analytical skills to gain a deeper understanding of complex situations at work. Join this session to learn how to prepare for difficult conversations and how to improve our agile conversations in order to be more influential without power. We will use Dave Gray’s Empathy Mapping, Argyris’ Ladder of Inference and The Four Rs from Agile Conversations (Squirrel and Fredrick).
In the session you will experience how preparing and reflecting on your conversation can help you be more influential at work. You will learn how to communicate more effectively with the people needed to achieve positive change. You will leave with a self-revised version of a difficult conversation and a practical model to use when you get back to work.
Come learn more on how to become a real influencer!

15. Heatpumps in 1/3 of Norwegian
homes
Targeted efforts have contributed
greatly to the large increase in the
number of energy-efficient heat pumps
have been installed in Norwegian
homes.
In 2002 - the year before Enova
implemented technology-specific
support for environmentally friendly
heating solutions to households - the
annual sales of air / air heat pumps
was 19 000 units. In 2010, the number
of units sold reached the 85,000 - a
very large increase in no time.
16. Energy efficiency with global effects
Through a unique partnership with Hydro, Enova contributes to the Norwegian aluminum
industry becoming the world's most energy-efficient and climate friendly. For Hydro, it is a
simple calculation: these measures will save millions and give the company a stronger
position in the market.
Since 2006, Enova has been a driving force and has contributed to Hydro carrying out
several projects related to energy efficiency, technology development and utilization of
waste heat to generate electricity. For example, Enova has supported full-scale test cells
for electrolysis to Hydro's plant in Årdal.
17. Passivehouses, soon to be the standard
Ryenstubben 10, Oslo

Illustrasjon: SJ-Arkitekter
Enova's efforts to achieve the passive house standard
for commercial buildings in 2020 has contributed to a
market change that seems to come quicker than
expected.
Now the commercial front-players in the real estate
market make effort to improve energy efficiency - and
the reason is simple: Energy-efficient commercial
buildings is about to get a higher value in the market.
With its new headquarters at Ryen in Oslo, GK
demonstrate that a commercial officebuilding with
passivehouse-standard is an attractive option for
businesses looking to strengthen its position in the
market and save money - in addition to providing its
employees a friendly and functional building.
Enova has been working towards for commercial real
estate market since 2002 and intensified in the new
construction in recent years. In the period 2008-2011,
Enova supported in all 975,000 square meters new
buildings and extensive rehab, of with the proportion of
passive amounted to 33 percent.
