The Role of Thermal Potential in Enhancing Energy ProductivityYale Carden
As presented at All Energy Conference in Melbourne on 5 October 2016
In the renewable energy sector, electrical (energy) potential determines the design of renewable power systems (ie solar, wind etc) at any given location. Similarly, thermal (energy) potential relates to the available thermal energy in a given location that can be utilised for heating / cooling a building or group of buildings.
This presentation explores how the concept of thermal potential can increase the efficiency of heating / cooling systems and thus enhance energy productivity in terms of increased value output per kW generated and per tonne of carbon emitted.

The Energy / Water Nexus - Stacy Tellinghuisen, Western Resource Advocatesrshimoda2014
Water Used to Develop Energy
Stacy Tellinghuisen
More water is used to produce electricity than for any other use in the United States. In the arid West, water is consumed to cool down electrical generating plants that burn coal or natural gas, while in the East water withdrawn from rivers circulates through power plants and is then returned to the river at higher temperatures. This presentation will address the pressures that energy production brings to our rivers, especially in light of warming temperatures.
As natural gas production increases in both the West and East, water pumped into the ground for fracking is lost to the system since it is fully consumed. Twenty to fifty acre feet is needed to drill each well, and as thousands of wells are drilled, the impact to local water supplies is growing.
Fortunately, new technologies and conservation practices pose a solution. Water used to produce energy can be saved if cities encourage water conservation (since energy is needed to move water). Renewable energy sources like wind and solar consume very little water. This presentation will address the problems that fossil fuels pose for rivers, and focus on technologies that can solve these problems.
Factors Affecting the Rise of Renewable Energy in the U.S. .docxmydrynan
Factors Affecting the Rise of Renewable Energy in the U.S.:
Concern over Environmental Quality or Rising Unemployment?
Adrienne M. Ohler*
A B S T R A C T
This paper studies the development of renewable energy (RE) in the U.S. by
examining the capacity to generate electricity from renewable sources. RE ca
pacity exhibits a U-shaped relationship with per capita income, similar to other
metrics for environmental quality (EQ). To explain this phenomenon, I consider
several of the environmental Kuznets curve theories that describe the relationship
between income and environmental quality (Y-EQ), including evolving property
rights, increased demand for improved EQ, and changing economic composition.
The results fail to provide support for the Y-EQ theories. I further consider the
alternative hypothesis that increases in unemployment lead to increases in relative
RE capacity, suggesting that promoting RE projects as a potential job creator is
one of the main drivers of RE projects. The results imply that lagged unemploy
ment is a significant predictor of relative RE capacity, particularly for states with
a large manufacturing share of GDR

1. INTRODUCTION
This paper analyzes the transition between renewable and nonrenewable energy sources
by empirically examining the relationship between per capita income and the relative use of RE
sources. Schmalensee, Stoker, and Judson (1998) stress that examining this relationship is important
to understanding whether energy transitions are due to fundamental economic trends or environ
mental policy. Using 1990-2008 state level panel data from the U.S. electricity market, I examine
two measures of relative RE use: the percent of capacity that utilizes RE sources and the devel
opment of RE capacity, defined as the change in the percent of RE capacity. The basic regression
results report a U-shaped relationship between income and RE capacity.
Literature on the empirical relationship between renewable energy (RE) and income typ
ically finds a positive relationship. Research on an individual’s willingness-to-pay (WTP) for RE
suggests that demand for RE increases with income. Bollino (2009) shows that high income indi
viduals are willing to pay more for electricity from RE, and Long (1993) presents results that suggest
high-income individuals spend more on RE investments. Oliver, Volschenk, and Smit (2011) study
the developing country of South Africa and also find a positive link between household income
and WTP for green electricity. On a more aggregate level, Carley (2009) finds evidence that the
percentage of RE generation increases with a state’s Gross State Product, and Burke (2010) finds
that the share of electricity generation from wind, and biomass electricity increases with per capita

PROGRESS IN DEFINING THE WATER-ENERGY NEXUS: WHAT’S NEXT?U.S. Water Alliance
This presentation will showcase the Blueprint for Action, a collaborative effort between the Alliance for Water Efficiency and American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy that spells out over 50 recommendations for needed actions in the areas of program, policy, research, and codes and standards. Since the publication of the Blueprint in May of 2011, several initiatives are now underway which will be outlined in the presentation.
The 3 Percent Solution: Driving Profits Through Carbon ReductionsAaron Sobel
A new report from WWF and CDP—The 3% Solution: Driving Profits Through Carbon Reductions—helps U.S. businesses chart a new path forward. This path is tremendously profitable, practical and helps curb climate change.
This was a project for our environmental science class in the Bren School of Environmental Science. You miss a lot of the presentation online as the transitions really made this one slick. Try running it in Keynote.
Working with AECOM Environment, we address climate change mitigation at the community scale by providing recommendations for effective strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). We performed cost-benefit analyses on 20 GHG reduction strategies such as installing efficient appliances, taking public transit and installing solar panels. Combined with relevant geographic requirements, these analyses informed development of our software model and serve as the basis for tailored GHG reduction plans. Dubbed SAFEGUARD, our software prioritizes reduction strategies based on cost effectiveness.
SAFEGUARD addresses the political feasibility of implementing strategies by allowing the user to override the software’s economic prioritization. Accompanying the software is a user manual and detailed methods describing the processes used to build the model and determine the required inputs. We have created a useful tool for consultants and governments to determine optimal greenhouse gas reduction strategies at the community scale.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

(source: Aquacraft, 2003) Water heater outlet temperature = 120 F (source: RESNET's 2006 Mortgage Industry National Home Energy Rating Standards, Page 3-15) Water heater inlet temperature = 58 F (source: ANSI/ASHRAE 118.2-1993, Appendix A) Energy Factor (i.e., minimum federal efficiency for new 40 gallon electric tank) = 0.917 (Federal Register, Part VIII, DOE, 10 CFR Part 430, page 4497) Recovery efficiency (i.e., combustion efficiency) = 1.00 (by definition for electric water heaters) Room air temperature = 70 F (ANSI/ASHRAE 118.2-1993, Appendix A)NOTE: These energy estimates (and all hot water energy estimates in this presentation) assume an electric hot water heater.
