Trends in Green Kitchens and Green BuildingsDerek Satnik
The green building industry is one of the hottest right now. Construction has always been a major contributor to the economy, and Canada is adding enough new buildings every year that over 1,000 kilotons of new emissions are added to the building sector's footprint - compounded every year. The same market in the US adds almost 10 times more. This is obviously a problem.
The Green Building sector is making a significant impact at reversing this trend. Mindscape's partners are leading the way: our latest projects are pursuing net-zero, cost effectively. LEED Platinum is not only affordable, but it's making money for the building owners. Green material costs are continually becoming more competitive as suppliers adapt to the requirements of green building programs. There are brighter days ahead.

The Mayor of London works to make London a more resilient, sustainable and resource efficient city, where businesses want to be based and where people want to live and work.
To achieve the Mayor’s vision for the environment, the GLA develops and delivers a set of results-focused programmes. These programmes also create jobs and attract investment in areas such as waste recycling, water, green infrastructure, energy and the low carbon and green economy.
RE:FIT and RE:NEW are the Mayor of London award-winning programmes to help make London homes, non-domestic buildings and assets more energy efficient by cutting carbon emissions and energy bills. These programmes support organisations to develop and bring their energy efficiency projects to market.
The Mayor’s DEPDU Successor programme – 50% funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) - is set up to support the Mayor’s target of 25 per cent of London’s energy to be generated through Decentralised Energy (DE) by 2025. The programme supports others to develop and bring their DE projects to market.

How Upcoming Regulation Will Affect YouEnercare Inc.
Enercare’s 3rd annual Thought Leadership event series, Energy Management: What’s New and What’s Next, explores energy conservation opportunities, the latest technologies and regulations shaping the multi-residential and commercial building management space.
Significant new regulations are moving to be implemented in Ontario, and each one may shape the way your property uses energy for years to come. The three major drivers of this change will be the Ontario's Climate Change Action Plan, Carbon Cap and Trade, and Energy Performance Disclosure regulations.

You can’t manage what you don’t measure. This presentation by PL Consulting Corp will cover the use of energy audits and hydro bill analysis to understand the equipment and energy usage in your building. Energy audits, which include financials such as cost savings, incentives and estimated capital costs, equip building operators to make informed decisions on equipment replacement and operational adjustments. In addition to better understanding your building, this presentation will cover conservation measures such as intuitive automated controls which can effectively and significantly reduce overall consumption and increase your bottom line.

1st Clean Energy Finance and Investment Consultation Workshop: “Unlocking finance and investment for clean energy in the Philippines” 31 May – 1 June 2022, Makati Diamond Residences, Legazpi Village, Makati City
There are few things more political than energy and energy prices. Ontario's markets have been changing, and there are new realities for Realtors to be aware of: some things that have changed, and some that will soon change.
This presentation is both for Commercial and Residential Realtors, and will provide an update on how changes in the energy markets will affect your clients, and how Realtors can help / benefit.
Slides discuss:
- what's changing in the markets: pricing and more (ie: truth and facts);
- what the governments are doing (presently and planned);
- what products we're seeing for Commercial or Residential facilities, and what Realtors are likely to see more of in the coming years;
- what the opportunities are for Realtors;
- Energy Audits: help and grants available to help your clients save money on energy, and ways Realtors can be involved;
- things that affect value: buying or selling a building with solar panels;
- things that affect investment properties and rental income;
- SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT: a new tool/app that you can offer, as a Realtor, to your clients, to help them manage their energy use. Contact us at info@mi-group.ca if interested!
Join author Bracken Hendricks from the Apollo Alliance and Tyler Leeds from the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (MTC) for a discussion of clean energy policy and green building. Mr. Hendricks will discuss his clean energy policy efforts as it relates to green building, the challenges he's faced, and the lessons he's learned in this work. Tyler Leeds will discuss local energy policies and how clean energy is an integral part of local green building projects.
Discuss the relative strengths of common distributed generation technologies: photovoltaic, solar thermal and fuel cells. Participants will learn the true costs and benefits of a wide range of distributed generation technologies and how they compliment energy-efficiency measures.
Small Commercial Solar: Grow Your Business With This Untapped Sectorallearthrenewables

Immunizing Image Classifiers Against Localized Adversary Attacksgerogepatton
This paper addresses the vulnerability of deep learning models, particularly convolutional neural networks
(CNN)s, to adversarial attacks and presents a proactive training technique designed to counter them. We
introduce a novel volumization algorithm, which transforms 2D images into 3D volumetric representations.
When combined with 3D convolution and deep curriculum learning optimization (CLO), itsignificantly improves
the immunity of models against localized universal attacks by up to 40%. We evaluate our proposed approach
using contemporary CNN architectures and the modified Canadian Institute for Advanced Research (CIFAR-10
and CIFAR-100) and ImageNet Large Scale Visual Recognition Challenge (ILSVRC12) datasets, showcasing
accuracy improvements over previous techniques. The results indicate that the combination of the volumetric
input and curriculum learning holds significant promise for mitigating adversarial attacks without necessitating
adversary training.

Hierarchical Digital Twin of a Naval Power SystemKerry Sado
A hierarchical digital twin of a Naval DC power system has been developed and experimentally verified. Similar to other state-of-the-art digital twins, this technology creates a digital replica of the physical system executed in real-time or faster, which can modify hardware controls. However, its advantage stems from distributing computational efforts by utilizing a hierarchical structure composed of lower-level digital twin blocks and a higher-level system digital twin. Each digital twin block is associated with a physical subsystem of the hardware and communicates with a singular system digital twin, which creates a system-level response. By extracting information from each level of the hierarchy, power system controls of the hardware were reconfigured autonomously. This hierarchical digital twin development offers several advantages over other digital twins, particularly in the field of naval power systems. The hierarchical structure allows for greater computational efficiency and scalability while the ability to autonomously reconfigure hardware controls offers increased flexibility and responsiveness. The hierarchical decomposition and models utilized were well aligned with the physical twin, as indicated by the maximum deviations between the developed digital twin hierarchy and the hardware.

29. The Big Players Understand
Clay Nesler, VP of global energy and sustainability, Johnson Controls:
“In our 2013 global survey of 3,000 facility and energy management
executives, we found that 73 percent of organizations had made
internal or public goals to reduce energy consumption. We also found
that organizations that made public goals implemented 50 percent
more efficiency measures last year and were 2.7 times more likely to
increase investments next year than organizations without goals.”
