The following presentation discusses high-performance buildings today and in the future. Current and future codes are discussed as well as implications to the LEED rating system. The last part of the presentation focuses on the inefficiencies in the design-bid-build process and discusses how high-performance buildings will be the result of integrative design.

Delivering an Energy Model for BREEAM and LEED – Exposing What Really Matters...IES VE
This presentation looks at the technical perspectives of delivering an energy model for both the purposes of different regulatory frameworks; LEED and BREEAM. The technical focus will be upon the metrics used and design strategies that affect the performance, certification and rating of buildings.

Synopsis:
Enhancing building performance is a central feature of Singapore’s quest for a green building future and this need is echoed across the planet. Global climate change, resource challenges and environmental quality are urgent motivations for transforming the patterns and practices of energy use in the building sector.
This is reinforced with the growing interest in enhancing the indoor environment of buildings to enhance health, comfort and performance, and in tying the operation and performance of buildings more intimately to the electric grid that supplies them. A plausible set of questions to ask in terms of building performance is “What performance goals should we achieve?” and “How are we going to get there?” We explore the answers to these questions through the perspective of recent experience in the U.S. and try to understand the similarities and differences in experience between Europe, Asia and the U.S. Two key perspectives are explored: 1) the degree to which new technologies, integrated systems and human-centered design practice allows us to approach the vision of Zero Energy Buildings and 2) the gap that remains between what has been achieved as proof-of-concept and by innovative teams vs. what has proven feasible to rapidly scale.

Presented to SYMPOSIUM 13: International Symposium on Advanced Ceramics and Composites for Sustainable Nuclear Energy and Fusion Energy
Several high-temperature reactors have been designed, built and operated successfully using conventional materials. This application invariably pushed the materials to the edge of their envelope. Over the last 20 years it has become clear that unlocking the use of advanced materials – such as ceramic matrix composites and carbon-carbon composites – will enable significant improvements in the performance of high-temperature reactors.
This presentation provided an overview of some of the work completed to enable the use of these materials in various reactor development programmes, and explained the current work that is being completed in the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code committees to establish codes and standards for this application.

Building complaince with the energy efficiency measures in the building code of Autralia can be a little daunting to understand. This presentation provides a structured approach and sets out the contents of acheiving compliance with BCA Section J, using the JV3 verification method. The JV3 method provides greater freedom in the desing process, can generally result in lower construction costs, lower energy costs and more comfortable buildings when used appropriately.
A printed circuit board (PCB) is a fundamental component in modern electronics that serves as a platform for assembling and connecting electronic components. It provides a solid foundation for the interconnection of various electronic elements, including integrated circuits (ICs), resistors, capacitors, and other passive and active components.
The construction of a PCB typically involves a thin board made of non-conductive material, often fiberglass reinforced with epoxy resin or other laminates. The surface of the board is coated with a layer of copper, which serves as the conductive material for the electrical pathways.
PCB design involves a meticulous layout of conductive traces, which form the pathways for electrical signals to flow between components. These traces are usually etched onto the copper layer through a process of chemical etching or mechanical milling. The layout of the traces is determined by the circuit schematic, aiming to minimize signal interference, optimize signal integrity, and ensure efficient electrical connectivity.
In addition to the conductive traces, a PCB features various other elements. These include pads and vias. Pads are small areas of exposed copper where electronic components are soldered onto the board. Vias are holes drilled through the board that connect different layers of the PCB, facilitating the routing of traces between them.
PCBs can have multiple layers, ranging from single-sided boards with components mounted on one side, to double-sided and multi-layer boards, which have components mounted on both sides and multiple layers of conductive traces sandwiched between insulating layers.
The manufacturing process for PCBs involves several steps, including design and layout, fabrication of the board itself, application of the copper layer, etching or milling of the traces, drilling of holes for components and vias, and finally, assembly of components onto the board through soldering or other methods.
PCBs are essential in a wide range of electronic devices, from simple consumer electronics like calculators and remote controls to complex systems like computers, smartphones, and medical equipment. Their compact design, reliability, and scalability make them indispensable in the world of modern electronics, enabling the creation of increasingly sophisticated and efficient electronic devices.
SEAI EXEED (Excellence in Energy Efficient Design) is a certification program. It helps businesses achieve the best energy performance. It applies an approach to project design and implementation for new or upgraded buildings and processes.
The SEAI EXEED program provides grant support. It also provides a structured approach to energy efficient design management. This maximises the lifecycle of energy and carbon performance.
The grant provides support of up to €1,000,000 per project. This goes to help businesses embed energy efficient design in their investment projects. It is open to private businesses and public sector organisations who are planning an investment project.
It is relevant to:
Brand new buildings and facilities
Upgrades or re-purposing of existing buildings and facilities
Manufacturing processes
This session will give an overview of the SEAI EXEED programme. It will provide case study examples from organisations. These organisation have all implemented these Energy Efficient Design principles within project investments.

of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
Cracking the Workplace Discipline Code Main.pptxWorkforce Group
Cultivating and maintaining discipline within teams is a critical differentiator for successful organisations.
Forward-thinking leaders and business managers understand the impact that discipline has on organisational success. A disciplined workforce operates with clarity, focus, and a shared understanding of expectations, ultimately driving better results, optimising productivity, and facilitating seamless collaboration.
Although discipline is not a one-size-fits-all approach, it can help create a work environment that encourages personal growth and accountability rather than solely relying on punitive measures.
In this deck, you will learn the significance of workplace discipline for organisational success. You’ll also learn
• Four (4) workplace discipline methods you should consider
• The best and most practical approach to implementing workplace discipline.
• Three (3) key tips to maintain a disciplined workplace.
