CO2 emissions of vehicles: a broad and persistent problemLeonardo ENERGY
The transport sector has not seen the same decline in greenhouse gas emissions as many other sectors. CO2 emissions from passenger cars and trucks form a persistent problem and policymakers struggle to find effective solutions to meet the goals.
First, there is this ongoing race to the bottom among declared CO2 values with a growing gap with the emissions in real-world use. Second, manufacturers are only responsible for the performance of their cars under idealized circumstances, as measured during vehicle emission tests. Third, the economic and life-style aspects of owning and driving heavy and expensive cars are forces in the opposite direction. And last, the European Union has only limited systems in place for the monitoring and verification of the CO2 emissions of vehicles.
In this presentation, Norbert Ligterink (PhD), senior research scientist at TNO, guides you to understanding the complexity behind this broad and persistent problem.

The European Commission has committed to obtaining 20% of Europe's energy from renewable sources by 2020, with wind energy expected to be the largest contributor. Developing larger wind turbines with blades up to 20MW in size will be necessary to meet targets but poses technological and cost challenges. Manufacturers must increase blade size without dramatically raising production costs to make wind power competitive without subsidies. Transportation and noise from larger blades also present issues to overcome.

Energy efficiency: a profit center for companies! Leonardo ENERGY
Investments in energy efficiency not only result in a reduction of energy consumption —the ener-gy benefit— but they also entail non-energy benefits such as improved product quality, reduced production time or improved comfort in sales area. Non-energy benefits significantly improve the business case of energy-efficiency investments in the business sector by raising their strategic character.
Within this context, the aim of this webinar is to discuss a methodology to describe and analyze the industrial non-energy benefits of energy efficiency. Linking energy, operational, strategic and fi-nancial aspects, this new conceptual framework enables to move away from the common view of energy as a commodity (where the only goal is to save kilowatt-hours) to adopt a new perspective on energy and energy services as strategic value for businesses.
This methodology will be further developed and documented by Task 26 Multiple Benefits of Ener-gy Efficiency, a project of IEA Demand Side Management Energy Efficiency Technology Collabora-tion Program, in close collaboration with practitioners, academic researchers and public program-mers. People or Institutions interested by Task 26 are most welcome to contact me.
Multiple benefits will also be discussed in-depth with a panel at this year’s IEPPEC June 7-9 Am-sterdam.

Introduction to the Ecodesign of Energy Related Products DirectiveLeonardo ENERGY
The Ecodesign of Energy Related Products Directive (EED) was adopted in 2009 as an amendment from the 2005 Ecodesign of Energy Using Products Directive and is one of the EU’s four key Directives addressing energy efficiency in stationary (i.e. non transport) end-uses (the others being the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive, Energy Efficiency Directive and the Energy Labelling Directive). The EU was a relative late comer among leading international economies in having overarching legislation to set minimum energy performance standards for equipment but since the adoption of Ecodesign it has set an impressive pace of adoption of implementing measures which are now estimated to cover 48% of all EU energy consumption. The average expected energy savings per product group addressed is projected to reach 19% by 2030, to lower energy bills by €160 billion for a €60 billion increase in equipment acquisition costs i.e. a net benefit of €100 billion and to create 0.8 million extra direct jobs for industry, wholesale and the retail sector.
The projected CO2 savings from this Directive alone are estimated to reach 320 Mt CO2 equiva-lent, equal to 7% of all EU GHG emissions in 2010. This is in excess of savings projected from the EU emissions trading system.
The sEEnergies project aims to operationalize the energy efficiency first principle (EEFP) both qualitatively and quantitatively. It will develop a decision support tool combining sector-specific energy demand models to analyze EE potentials from an energy systems perspective. Bottom-up models of buildings, transport, industry and grids will provide cost curves and potentials for EE measures. Scenarios from the EU's "A Clean Planet for All" will be used as common references. Energy system modelling will assess EEFP impacts and enable scenarios assessing synergies. A spatial model will map supply and demand and efficiency potentials. Heat Roadmap Europe provides recommendations including prioritizing savings over supply, utilizing excess heat and renewable energy in district heating, and establishing

3) Addressing what happens as new technologies empower consumers to exit grid regulation through technologies like solar PV and batteries.
Copper's Contribution to Combat Climate ChangeLeonardo ENERGY
This document was presented at the 1st European Conference for the promotion of Local actions to combat Climate Change, to hold in Punta Umbría - Huelva - Spain, on days 23, 24 and 25 of September 2009. http://www.laccc.es/index.php/en
It was the first meeting under the Covenant of Mayors initiative with the object of developing and improving the necessary tools and working structures.
This document presents the huge potential for energy efficiency associated to copper use in motors, transformers and renewable energy systems.
The document discusses the Eco-Design Directive (EuP) and its implementing measure for external power supplies. The EuP aims to reduce energy use and environmental impacts of energy-using products throughout their lifecycles. It requires manufacturers to demonstrate compliance with product-specific requirements. Regulation EC 278/2009 establishes eco-design requirements for external power supplies to be enforced in 2010 and 2011. The requirements are intended to trigger market transformation and efficiency improvements, saving an estimated 9 TWh of electricity annually by 2020.
The document discusses the potentials and impacts of developing and adopting energy-efficient distribution transformers (DTs) in the EU from 2006-2008. It finds that replacing older, less efficient transformers across the EU could save up to 18.5 TWh/year of electricity, representing 55.5% of current DT energy losses. The largest potential savings are in electricity distribution companies and the oil-filled transformer industry. A variety of policy measures are proposed, including regulation of utilities, labeling programs, and potential mandatory efficiency standards, to realize these savings potentials by 2025. Barriers to implementing the proposed policies include the long lifetimes of transformers and varying interests of stakeholders.
The document discusses 3 novel regulatory challenges seen from the European Union perspective:
1) Cross-country regulation to address cross-border electricity systems and markets when authorities and operators have separate national mandates. The EU addressed this by creating groups like ACER and ENTSO-E but seamless coordination has not been fully achieved.
2) Multi-country energy transition coordination when policymakers are national. The EU set common 20-20-20 goals but individual country approaches vary after 2020. Coordination through climate pledges and reviews is needed.
3) The impact of new technologies like solar PV and batteries that empower consumers to exit grid regulation as monopolies. This raises important questions about how grid tariffs and

The Scope for Energy Saving in the EU through the Use of Energy-Efficient Dis...Leonardo ENERGY
Highlights:
* Distribution transformers represent an important focus for energy efficiency initiatives.
* They are a worthwhile area for R&D, demonstration and promotional effort.
* The potential for reducing losses from distribution transformers affects strategies on energy efficiency and global warming.
* An action plan should be developed to achieve these goals.
* The strategy should be carefully co-ordinated, technically sound, and involve partners from all the supply chain.
Introduction to the Energy Efficiency DirectiveLeonardo ENERGY
The Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) was adopted in 2012 and is one of the EU’s four key Directives addressing energy efficiency in stationary (i.e. non transport) end-uses (the others being the Energy Performance in Buildings Directive, The Ecodesign Directive and the Energy Labelling Directive). Given that the other Directives cover the energy performance of buildings and equipment the EED is designed to address energy savings opportunities that are not readily addressed by the other Directives. It has its origin in the preceding Energy Services Directive, which was repealed when the EED was adopted. The Energy Efficiency Directive establishes a set of binding measures intended to help the EU reach its 20% energy efficiency target by 2020. Under the Directive, all EU countries are required to use energy more efficiently at all stages of the energy chain from its production to its final consumption. EU countries were required to transpose the Directive's provisions into their national laws by 5 June 2014.
Europump represents 17 national pump associations across Europe with over 450 member companies employing around 100,000 people and producing over €10 billion worth of pumps annually. It aims to promote energy efficiency and environmental protection in the pump industry through initiatives like Ecopump, which focuses on improving pump efficiency at the product, extended product, and system levels. Europump works with stakeholders and policymakers to develop legislation and standards to optimize pump and system efficiency.
The document summarizes the Deputación de Ourense's experience developing sustainable energy action plans (SEAPs) according to ISO 50001. It describes analyses of the province's public lighting and vehicle fleet that identified opportunities to reduce energy consumption and emissions. As a result of measures taken, CO2 emissions have been reduced by 16-25% in recent years. The methodology used to create baseline emissions inventories and SEAPs for 19 municipalities is also outlined. The training provided an overview of developing SEAPs integrated with energy management systems based on best practices from Ourense.

Key lessons learned include: objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, relevant and time-bound to guide policy; the impact of individual policies is difficult to isolate as most use packages with interacting instruments; and monitoring and evaluation have been a low priority, despite being important to determine policy effects and efficiency. A policy theory approach that defines clear objectives, indicators and expected relationships can help design, monitor and evaluate policies.

Australia has abundant coal and gas resources but is becoming a net importer of liquid fuels. Greenhouse gas emissions are high per capita due to the energy-intensive economy. Key programs to improve energy efficiency include the National Framework for Energy Efficiency, Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act, and Minimum Energy Performance Standards. Smart metering and continued electricity market reforms aim to enable time-varying pricing and demand-side management, but regulators may not allow innovative tariffs. While on track to meet short-term climate targets, further energy efficiency and demand-side management policies are still needed to reduce emissions beyond 2010.
The document summarizes USA activities related to demand-side management (DSM), including demand response and energy efficiency. It notes there has been strong, renewed interest in these areas in the US after a decade of reduced focus. It provides an overview of the US electricity system and regulatory structure. It then discusses the status of demand response and energy efficiency programs and policies in the US, including key reports and initiatives. Barriers to greater adoption are also mentioned.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.
1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.
Carrer goals.pptx and their importance in real lifeartemacademy2
Career goals serve as a roadmap for individuals, guiding them toward achieving long-term professional aspirations and personal fulfillment. Establishing clear career goals enables professionals to focus their efforts on developing specific skills, gaining relevant experience, and making strategic decisions that align with their desired career trajectory. By setting both short-term and long-term objectives, individuals can systematically track their progress, make necessary adjustments, and stay motivated. Short-term goals often include acquiring new qualifications, mastering particular competencies, or securing a specific role, while long-term goals might encompass reaching executive positions, becoming industry experts, or launching entrepreneurial ventures.
Moreover, having well-defined career goals fosters a sense of purpose and direction, enhancing job satisfaction and overall productivity. It encourages continuous learning and adaptation, as professionals remain attuned to industry trends and evolving job market demands. Career goals also facilitate better time management and resource allocation, as individuals prioritize tasks and opportunities that advance their professional growth. In addition, articulating career goals can aid in networking and mentorship, as it allows individuals to communicate their aspirations clearly to potential mentors, colleagues, and employers, thereby opening doors to valuable guidance and support. Ultimately, career goals are integral to personal and professional development, driving individuals toward sustained success and fulfillment in their chosen fields.
