Improving energy efficiency in a municipal building: a case study in South Af...Luis Ram Rojas-Sol
This paper examines the energy efficiency impact of replacing fluorescent lamps with light emitting diode (LED),
and electric water heaters with solar thermal systems in two municipal buildings in Ekurhuleni, South Africa. A
retrofitting project with LEDs and solar water heaters offers the opportunity to increase energy efficiency and lower
electricity expenditure. For both scenarios, we present an analysis of the energy, cost and CO2 emissions savings,
as well as financial indicators to show whether the project is feasible. We also consider the energy efficiency impact
of installing motion sensors. Our analysis shows that switching from fluorescent to LEDs achieves 37.3% energy
savings and 41.6 tonnes CO2 equivalent emissions savings, and installing motion sensors results in 56.8% energy
savings and 73.8 tonnes CO2 equivalent emissions reduction. With motion sensors, the project has an NPV of
17,163 USD and a payback period of 2.4 years, compared to 29,682 USD and 2.8 years without. The solar water
heater project allows for 63.3% in energy and 9.2 tonnes CO2 equivalent emissions savings over the electric water
heaters. In addition, the effects of South African energy efficiency policies on the financial outlook of the project
were assessed. With policies, the NPV of the lighting project with LEDs and motion sensors increases to 36,263
USD and the payback period decreases to 1.4 years. For the solar water heater project, existing policies allow
receiving 56.4% of capital cost in incentives and rebates, which results in a payback period of 5.7 years.

- Demographic shifts and preferences of millennials are reducing car ownership and dependence, especially in urban areas.
- Emerging technologies like electric vehicles, autonomous vehicles, car sharing services, and personal air vehicles will disrupt current models of private car ownership and parking within the next 10-20 years.
- The availability of autonomous vehicles could significantly reduce the need for parking by allowing more efficient shared use of vehicles through subscription services.
The Philadelphia Parking Authority’s Transformation of an Urban Asset - See more at: http://www.greenparkingcouncil.org/featured/the-philadelphia-parking-authoritys-transformation-of-an-urban-asset-2
This document summarizes the impacts of parking lots and provides recommendations for more sustainable parking policies and designs. Some key points:
- Parking lots currently make up 10-15% of developed urban land in many regions, and the Kansas City region could have up to 126 square miles dedicated to parking.
- Large paved parking lots contribute to increased temperatures, air and water pollution, and flooding due to stormwater runoff.
- Current parking policies like minimum parking requirements often result in an oversupply of parking spaces that sit vacant much of the time.
- The document recommends policies and designs to reduce parking demand and impacts, such as setting maximum parking limits, requiring shade trees, and using permeable pavement
The document discusses a planning session focused on storm water runoff and parking in Philadelphia. It includes presentations from various organizations:
- The Green Parking Council discussed creating a new rating system to transform the parking industry and address sustainability.
- NRDC discussed Philadelphia's new stormwater fee structure based on impervious surface area and how it could incentivize private investment in green infrastructure retrofits to earn fee credits.
- AECOM discussed developing a decision support tool to help prioritize green infrastructure projects in Philadelphia based on factors like flooding risk, water quality, and watershed health. The tool uses GIS data and user-defined weighting.

Alt. GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using ...James Anderson
Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:
