A 30% cut by 2020 is a crucial first step to the 80-95% emissions cut by 2050 agreed by the Heads of State. It is essential if Europe is to maintain its leadership in renewable energy technologies like wind energy, create new jobs and become more competitive, and not lose ground to other countries.
Rather than relaxing its climate ambitions, the EU must put Europe’s economic interests first and move to a 30% emissions reduction target (December 2010).

Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!
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:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

GDG Cloud Southlake #33: Boule & Rebala: Effective AppSec in SDLC using Deplo...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).

9. Construction Products Regulation
The CPR is the development of the earlier Construction Products Directive
(CPD), 1989, to enable free trade of construction products within the EU, via
harmonised standards and CE marking
The Regulation will be fully applicable ca. 2 years after publication in the
Official Journal (April 2011), by July 1st 2013
Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are emerging as the means to
confirm the environmental properties of building products and systems. The
content is governed by pr-EN 15084 and the execution by ISO 14025.
Future developments of the Basic Requirements for Construction Works
(BRCW):
• The extension of BRCW 3 and 6 to the complete life cycle
• The new BRCW 7 will lead to develop new provisions in hENs
10. Eco Design Directive
• Eco Design Directive 2009/125/EC
– Entered into force on 20.11.2009. Member States had until 20.11.2010
to transpose into national law
– Extension of the scope to Energy-related-Products (ErP)
• Priority construction products initially targeted, but thermal insulation not yet
covered.
• Eco-Design and Energy Labelling are complementary and share evaluation
and decision mechanisms
11. Eco Label Regulation
• Only awarded to the 10-20% of the best environmental performance products
• Covers the entire lifecycle of the product
• The European Commission aims at developing an EU Ecolabel for the
Buildings product group, with initial focus on office buildings.
• Criteria are still under development. Updates available on:
http://susproc.jrc.ec.europa.eu/buildings/whatsnew.html
13. EU Energy Efficiency Action Plan
• First introduced in 2007, updated 2011
• Covers many areas, including:
– To ensure safe, secure, sustainable and affordable energy for all
– Renewable Energy Directive
– Emissions Trading System
– Nuclear Safety Directive
– Strategic Energy Technology Plan
– Financial mechanisms
– Energy Performance in Buildings Directive
– Energy Solidarity and Security
• Future focus will include :
– Improve implementation of European energy legislation Increased use of the energy
savings potential
– Public awareness-raising and acceptance
– Greater emphasis on investments and financial mechanisms.
14. Energy Efficiency
• New Energy Efficiency Directive proposed 22.06.2011
– Must cut energy consumption by 20% by 2020
– Legal obligation to establish energy saving schemes in all Member States via
NEEAPs
– Public sector to lead by example, a required 3% renovation rate into top 10% of
energy efficient buildings nationally
– Binding national targets in 2014 if EU is not likely to achieve the 20% target.
• The recast Energy Efficiency in Buildings Directive (2010/31/EU) was
published on June 18th 2010. Some of the main themes are:
– New buildings to be passive by 2020 and public buildings by 2018
– Renovation of existing buildings to meet defined energy standards
– Energy performance assessment and labelling of all buildings
– Financial measures from Member States for energy efficiency
– Cost optimal methododolgy
15. National Energy Efficiency Action Plans
• The NEEAP requires Member States to set targets on energy efficiency
and define measures on how to reach the targets.
• The NEEAP gives an overview of all energy efficiency measures and links
between measures.
• Leads to explicitly improved coordination on energy efficiency at a national
level.
• Allows a structure for monitoring and evaluation in regulatory and
implementing organisations to be established.
• The NEEAP is an official document, which binds stakeholders and
government to an energy efficiency strategy.
21. Better Insulation Makes Sense!
• Buildings use > 40% of Europe’s energy
• Insulation accounts for >50% of the total energy reduction
potential from buildings
• A significant contribution to the EU commitment for the
2020, 20% reduction of energy commitment
• Reduces carbon dioxide emission and recognised as one of
the most cost-effective measures
• Creates local jobs
• The economics are good for everyone!
