Precincts to Support the Delivery of Zero Energy
This report frames the physical and organisational context for precinct action and identifies potential programs and government solutions that may be applied to better streamline the realisation of precinct-scale action to progress towards zero energy (and carbon) ready residential buildings within both new and existing precincts.
The report was developed based on a literature review and engagement with more than 80 stakeholders from industry, academia and government with the aim of identifying appropriate government action in the form of proposed solutions that may be applicable across Commonwealth, state and territory and/ or local governments.
The report has given focus to opportunities for precincts that are not already considered in the Trajectory to ensure that a wider system response is taken to considering the zero energy (and carbon) ready outcomes being sought.
This document summarizes current and future energy initiatives at various North Carolina military installations aimed at achieving net zero energy use, including efficiency upgrades, renewable energy generation, and reducing fossil fuel consumption. It outlines initiatives at Fort Bragg, MCAS Cherry Point, MCAS Beaufort, the North Carolina National Guard, and Seymour Johnson AFB relating to lighting, HVAC, solar power, and more. Future needs focus on additional audits, retrofits, and developing renewable energy projects.
The document discusses green economic development and sustainability. It outlines key drivers like job creation and economic growth. Sustainability requires broad participation and consideration of economic, environmental and social equity factors. The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act provides over $40 billion in opportunities in cleantech, energy efficiency, and green development to stimulate the economy and lay the foundation for a green future.

The Business and Financial Models Workshop was held in Cambridge in January 2016. The workshop invited participants from business, academia and NGOs to address the following questions:
o It is generally considered that private enterprises and independent power producers have a key role to play in bringing sustainable energy-enabled businesses to un-served rural communities.
o What are the main opportunities and challenges in establishing viable business and financial models for these organisations, and what innovative approaches are emerging to meet these challenges?
o What support can governments and development agencies usefully provide?

The document discusses green leasing and operating commercial real estate in a sustainable manner. It provides an overview of key issues from various stakeholders' perspectives, including property managers, leasing professionals, engineers. Green leasing aims to integrate sustainability into lease negotiations and make building performance transparent to tenants. Benefits include reduced costs, improved indoor environment, and increased asset value.
Transforming Public Infrastructure Into Environmental and Economically Sustainable Communities.
TITUS enables Simple, Fast, Cost Effective Renewable Infrastructure.
Energy efficiency is often regarded as the fastest and most
accessible means to achieve sustainability and reduce energy
costs. Using a framework developed from semi-structured
interviews of business owners, staff and personnel, this
presentation will analyze the relevance of various barriers to
energy efficiency experienced by commercial and small
industrial businesses across 7 industrial parks in the Upper
Peninsula of Michigan.
Preliminary analysis indicates that high energy costs in the
region pose a significant barrier to business expansion and
workforce development. To address this, the presentation will
also make specific technical and policy recommendations for
regional planners, showing how advancing energy efficiency
helps support local economic development and business
retention.
