Using human-centred design to improve energy efficiency programsLeonardo ENERGY
Human-centred design is being used to make the NSW energy savings scheme more effective. We started with research that identified six key insights for improved scheme operation. It found that the scheme is complex and its fragmented tools and systems create unnecessary barriers to entry. We then used workshops to develop six corresponding opportunities for improved service delivery. To scale up we need streamlined manual processes, more collaboration and improved digital systems. This is especially relevant given recent announcements that the scheme is being extended to 2050.
This talk will present the research, and will place it in the context of changes announced as part of the NSW Energy Strategy. It will explore small, medium and long term changes to scheme delivery identified through the HCD process and our proposed next steps.
The NSW Energy Savings Scheme started in 2009. It has so far delivered projects that will save 27,000 gigawatt hours of energy and $5.6 billion in bill savings over their lifetimes.

How to reach the hard-to-reach (energy users)?Leonardo ENERGY
Energy efficiency is sometimes called "the greatest market failure of all times" - it makes so much sense, is imperative to achieve the energy transition affordably, and yet it remains difficult to achieve the energy efficiency potential that technological and policy innovations promise to deliver. Is this because our technological and policy advances fail to reach all energy users in the same way? We believe that there is a significant percentage of the human population who can be regarded as “hard-to-reach (HTR) energy users”. These are the people policymakers, utility programme managers and research experts often struggle to engage with when designing and rolling out technological and behavioural interventions. Their barriers and needs are different to those "lower hanging fruit" energy users we understand well. This HTR audience segment becomes even larger once we expand from hard-to-reach individuals and groups in the residential, to those in the non-residential, particularly the commercial sector – especially if we look across all fuels and energy services, including mobility. This, potentially very large energy user segment is the focus of this new research collaboration and we present our first findings in this webinar.

The main objective of the IEA-PVPS Task 13 Report on “Designing New Materials for Photovoltaics: Opportunities for Lowering Cost and Increasing Performance through Advanced Material Innovations” is to provide a global survey of technical efforts aimed at lowering cost and increasing performance and reliability of PV modules by employing new designs, materials and concepts. Furthermore, the report aims to (1) increase the exchange of information about promising materials and design concepts, (2) provide the means for increasing the value of PV modules, (3) provide recommendations on characterization methods for new technologies and (4) give input regarding new requirements for standardization. This paper focuses on describing the motivation, benefits, and challenges for new photovoltaic material and module developments.
In this webinar, the editors of the Green Book on the “Electricity Supply Systems of the Future” will describe their long journey to summarize the collective knowledge acquired in CIGRE Study Committees. This journey can never be over, as visions become realities or become obsolete and new challenges and developments unavoidably appear. Nevertheless, the Green Book provides CIGRE’s unique and unbiased technical views for the current and future state of electricity supply systems. It also shows the value of global collaborative work of numerous experts from industry and academia mobilized within the CIGRE community. CIGRE is the foremost authority for end-to-end power system expertise.

The Smart Grid enables new business and operations models for the electricity supply chain. Microgrids offer great promise to embed new technologies in the distribution grid ranging from generation, energy storage, and intelligent consumption solutions.
Proponents of these technologies argue that they are capable of:
Improving overall reliability on both sides of the grid/microgrid junctures
Reducing operating costs
Expediting introduction of these technologies into the distribution grid – the weakest part of the supply chain in the developed world.
Offering cost effective and timely solutions to eliminate energy poverty – the lack of electricity - in the developing world.
Can one Smart Grid innovation have such broad applications? Our panel will explore the benefits of microgrids and the challenges to full realization of those benefits on a global basis.

SEAI Energy Show 2022 - Leveraging research to decarbonise the industrial and...SustainableEnergyAut
Ireland's energy system is transforming. At the heart of this, innovative solutions are being developed. These solutions will deliver cleaner energy for our homes, businesses and communities.
Research has a critical role to play in overcoming emerging energy markets. And this session will focus on researchers in industry and academia. Their projects will foster knowledge and innovation in the Irish Marketplace.
Speakers will cover their competitive energy-related products, processes, and systems. They will discuss real-world examples of research informing solutions. And show how businesses can keep their competitiveness on their journey to decarbonisation.
Representatives from ComEd, the Environmental Defense Fund and the Center for Energy and Environment present their findings on state grid modernization during SEPA's 2018 Utility Conference.
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.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
