Designing for Sustainability - Intelligent Glass SolutionsSaulo Rozendo
This document discusses the growing importance of sustainability in building design and construction. It notes that new regulations in Europe and green building standards in the US are transforming the industry to focus on reducing energy and emissions. Silicone technologies can help meet sustainability goals by improving energy efficiency, durability, and reducing thermal transmission and air leakage of building facades and windows. They also have applications in solar energy generation and thermal solar collectors. Overall sustainability is becoming a key driver and competitive factor for building design.
Imagine turning a knob and controlling the amount of light passing through a window. Several technologies for such switchable glazing are available or under development. One such technology is called Smart window where the user can actually control the amount of light passing through the glass. They can also regulate the amount of solar energy transmitted thorough them. There are presently three types of smart window technologies (SPD), liquid crystal and electro chromic. They are characterized by their ability to vary the throughput of radiant energy by electrical low voltage pulses. A part from energy saving aspects the possibility to vary the transmittance also results in an increased comforts. With the glass it will be a lot easier to keep offices cool in summer. They can also save money.

It outlines how ICT can standardize, monitor, account for, rethink, and transform energy management. Specifically, ICT allows for real-time monitoring of energy consumption across sectors, improved accountability, and innovations that capture new efficiency opportunities. When energy data is accessible to executives, it enables better decision-making around sustainability goals.
The document discusses the energy crisis and potential solutions. It notes that an energy crisis occurs when there is a bottleneck in the supply of energy resources to an economy. Current causes include overconsumption and disruptions in oil supply. Effects involve blackouts and impacts on economies and tourism. Solutions proposed include increasing oil drilling, using more nuclear and coal power, improving fuel efficiency, and implementing conservation efforts. The conclusion stresses that the world has likely peaked in oil and gas production so new solutions are urgently needed.
Smart glass, also known as switchable glass, is glass that can change its light transmission properties when voltage, light or heat is applied. There are several types of smart glass: liquid crystal glass allows light to pass through while providing privacy; low-E glass provides energy efficiency and blocks UV rays; thermochromic glass changes tint based on temperature; and electrochromic glass can be electrically tinted and maintains its tint without power. Smart glass provides benefits like easy cleaning, energy savings, UV protection, and doubling as a privacy screen. Its future includes increased cost efficiency, integration with other systems like HVAC, and adding other electronics and functions to the glass.
Pakistan is currently facing a severe energy crisis with electricity shortages of up to 12 hours per day. The crisis is hampering economic growth and development. It is caused by factors like growing energy demand outpacing supply due to lack of adequate planning and investment in energy infrastructure. Pakistan relies heavily on imported fossil fuels for its energy needs and has failed to sufficiently utilize its indigenous energy resources like coal reserves in Thar and hydroelectric potential. The energy crisis has wide-ranging negative economic, social, agricultural, and industrial impacts and exacerbates poverty and unemployment. Solutions include reducing energy consumption, developing new domestic energy sources, and utilizing alternative renewable resources.
The document proposes using coal as a solution to Pakistan's energy crisis. It summarizes that Pakistan faces severe power shortages of over 14,000 MW despite having coal reserves of 185 million tons. However, Pakistan currently only produces 0.2% of its energy from coal. The proposal recommends that the government utilize coal reserves by establishing thermal power plants and gasification processes to generate electricity. Doing so could provide electricity to Pakistanis at affordable rates and alleviate the country's energy crisis for at least 25 years by utilizing its abundant coal resources.
A lightning arrester is a device used on power systems above 1000V to protect equipment from lightning and switching surges. It contains billions of electronic switches called metal oxide varistor (MOV) grains that divert lightning strikes around sensitive equipment by rapidly switching to provide a conductive path to ground, thereby limiting the voltage and saving equipment from damage. It does not absorb or stop lightning but rather clamps and diverts the voltage surge produced to safely ground it.
An energy crisis occurs when there is a significant shortage of energy resources to meet demand. This document discusses several causes of energy crises, including increased consumption outpacing supply, infrastructure damage from weather events or attacks, and political disruptions that limit supply. The effects of energy crises can include rolling blackouts, higher transport costs as new efficient technologies are adopted, and negative impacts on the economies of oil-producing nations. Solutions proposed to address crises involve increasing supply through more drilling and alternative energy sources, as well as reducing demand through fuel efficiency standards and taxes.
The document discusses factors that can contribute to an energy crisis, including a lack of energy to meet growing demands from increased population and infrastructure development. Some of the key causes mentioned are population growth outpacing energy supply, overuse of non-renewable resources, and disruptions from natural disasters or political instability that impact energy infrastructure. The concept of "peak oil" is also introduced as the point when maximum global petroleum extraction rates are reached and production begins declining, which foreshadows long-term limits on oil availability.

The document discusses connecting the technical and social sides of problem solving. It describes how traditional approaches often involve blanket solutions, minimal front line ownership, and lack of management system linkage. The technical side involves running small, reversible experiments to test hypotheses rather than implement solutions. The social side requires engaging the organization in a cycle of communication, modification, and consensus building to solve problems continuously and sustain improvements.
This document is an abstract for a paper presented at the UN SDSN conference on sustainable energy and climate change. It discusses the need to reorganize the global energy sector to help achieve sustainable development goals and build sustainable societies. Specifically, it argues that our organizational forms determine our ability to execute strategies, so as we transition from the Millennium Development Goals to the Sustainable Development Goals, we may need to change our organizational structures and cross borders/sectors. It provides examples of how to improve cooperation between governments, businesses, and organizations to develop more sustainable energy architectures and ensure affordable, reliable energy access for all.

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Easy low-cost and no-cost ways to save energy.
•Install a programmable thermostat to lower utility bills and manage
your heating and cooling systems efficiently.
•Air dry dishes instead of using your dishwasher's drying cycle.
•Turn things off when you are not in the room such as lights, TVs, entertainment
systems, and your computer and monitor.
•Turn the power strips off when the equipment is not in use -- TVs and DVDs in
standby mode still use several watts of power.
•Lower the thermostat on your water heater to 120°F.
•Take short showers instead of baths and use low-flow showerheads for additional
energy savings.
•Wash only full loads of dishes and clothes.
•Air dry clothes.
•Check to see that windows and doors are closed when heating or cooling your home.
•Drive sensibly; aggressive driving such as speeding, and rapid acceleration and
braking, wastes fuel.
•Look for the ENERGY STAR® label on light bulbs, home appliances, electronics, and
other products. ENERGY STAR products meet strict efficiency guidelines set by the
Department of Energy.
