DR. JORDON SHAW
OVERVIEW
• Introduction and Background
• Case Studies – Energy Efficiency
• Integrating Energy Efficiency and Urban Sustainability
• The Dutch Kadaster
• The Solar Atlas of Berlin
• The Sicilian “Carta del Sole”
• Policy Implications for the Future
• Conclusions
INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

2. • Sustainable urban governance
• How can IT encourage sustainable urban development?
• Many previous projects were monolithic
• Technical controls OR
• Technical sensors
• EU’s 2007 Energy Policy
• Combat climate change
• Limit EU’s vulnerability to imported hydrocarbons
• Promote growth and jobs
• Multiple projects that incorporate measurement and control
ICT ENABLERS OF ENERGY EFFICIENCY
CASE STUDY 1
• Integrating Energy Efficiency and Urban Sustainability
• Northern Europe
• Strong commitment to green energy and sustainability
• Especially Finland
• Amsterdam Sustainability Index (ASI)
• Metrics to measure urban sustainability and energy efficiency

3. • ASI metrics
• Energy savings
• Mobility and air quality
• Sustainable innovative economy
• Materials and consumers
CASE STUDY 2
• The Dutch Kadaster
• Land Registry and Mapping Agency
• Priority in planning
• 50% of Netherlands land area is below sea level
• Concern over rising sea levels make land use planning critical
• Energy Performance Building Directive (EPBD)
• Requires energy label for all construction, sale, rental
transactions
• Goal is to reduce energy use of all properties
CASE STUDY 3
• The Solar Atlas of Berlin
• Goal is to increase efficient use of energy
• Main objectives

4. • Display locations of existing solar installations
• Visualize potential of the solar industry
• Highlight rooftops suitable for solar panels
• Overall goal is to best utilize solar power
• 3D modeling helps in visualizing data
CASE STUDY 4
• The Sicilian 'Carta del Sole'
• In English: 'Facing the Sun'
• Southern Europe generally lags when pursuing efficient
sustainable energy
• Sicily has generally been a difficult place to implement energy
policy
• Slow for residents to adopt solar energy
• However, the most modern solar power production facility in
Europe is based here
• Challenge is to increase public support for alternative energy
sources

School Committee Improvement
School committee leadership is a core factor in school
today and needs well off improvements for better institution
learning, since in ensuring that they make a better decision in

7. ensuring that the learning environment of the students is
conductive. The school environment is also the crucial role in
intervening the teachers teaching capabilities and making
necessary changes to improve or rectify the teaching method for
better student results outcomes (2019). To achieve better school
committee improvements the school management, and the
government should undertake a continuous institution
improvement plan to make positive results. Ongoing
improvement plan of the committee can be attained through
different change approaches like partnering with the public and
application of a project management approach to achieve a
better strategic plan of the committee improvement.
Merits of School Committee Improvement
There is immense importance of the improved school
committee of different institutions which leads to improved
school performance and better leadership is expressed in the
institution. Improvised school committee creates a close link
between the school and the respective district administration for
better school development (2019). The better committee leads to
better budget bargaining for the school for better growth and
institution learning material to be budgeted for. School
committee ensure that the parents complain they addressed
against the institution are adequately addressed, and the demand
is met (2019). School committees that have been improvised
will accelerate better decision makings teacher monitoring is
enhanced and curriculum improvement. Institutions committee
will ensure that better laws and policies of the institutions are
made that favors both the teachers, parents, and students.
Organization System Performance Model
Organization system performance model is a concept used
in many school institutions where the board management makes
vital decisions ("Organization System Performance - Citigroup,"
2019). The managing committee is the one that makes relevant
multidimensional, decisions, and plan development that can be
practiced to increase the output performance of the institution.

8. Organization system model positive performance results can
only be achieved when efficiency, effort, quality of input,
budget factors and new invention are put to achieve an increase
in performance of the institution or an organization
("Organization System Performance - Citigroup", 2019). This
concept can be applied in different work areas for actual
performance to be achieved.

According to the authors, a school committee has been on the
forefront to help changing the school narratives as well as
correcting on the school ethos that has been existing over time.
Through the abilities and diversity of the school committee,

10. there is a wider view on the trending issues within a school thus
being able to comprehensive deal with diverse issues affecting
the students as well as issues affecting the learning processes in
the schools. Therefore, the author brings an acknowledgement
on the merits brought into the realm of academic institutions by
the school committee. Thus, the article has fully brought to my
understanding the suitability of school committee in schools.

Contributions of the school committee
Gilliam, J. E. (1979). Contributions and status rankings of
educational planning committee participants.
According to the author, having a school committee is an aspect
that contributed to brainstorming of ideas within the department
an aspect that leads to a pool of ideas used in running the
school. In as much as different stakeholders are present in the
committee, their ideas are diversified thus helping them to

12. argue and come up with a single and most appropriate decision
to head the operations of a school. Therefore, at Lisa School,
enhancing a committee is a way towards the success of the
school in various capacities such as co curriculum and learning
activities. Therefore, school committee as depicted by the
article is essential in facilitating school growth and expansion
from time to time.
