SUMMARY:NZEB Knowledge Series | Climate - Smart Cities
DESCRIPTION:India has been the fastest growing major economy in the world\, with an average growth of 7% from 2017-18 to 2018-19\, and a consistently increasing share in the world’s GDP.  It is the world’s seventh-largest economy by nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP). \nThere are over 4\,400 statutory towns and cities in India with around 40 crores inhabitants today. At the current rate of growth\, the urban population in India is estimated to reach a staggering 60 crores by 2030 (WUP\, 2018). According to Census 2011\, as many as 53 cities in India had a million-plus population. It is projected that more than 50% of the country’s population will be urban by 2050 (WUP\, 2018). Cities currently contribute close to 60% of the GDP presently\, and this is estimated to rise to 70% by 2030. 60% of urban citizens will move into the middle-class bracket by 2030. \nThe hypothesis that urbanization is necessarily beneficial for economic growth cannot be taken for granted. Our cities have to overcome a number of challenges in order to realize their potential as engines of growth. One such challenge which cannot be negated is climate change and actions for the same is needed urgently and the same will also have to be integrated and mainstreamed within cities development plans to not only safeguard people and livelihood but also the investments which are being made towards infrastructure. \nGiven the above context\, the presentation will cover the key findings from The Climate-Smart Cities Assessment Framework (CSCAF) 2.0 which is an initiative of the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs covering over 126 cities\, including 100 Smart Cities and 26 cities with a population of over 500\,000. The assessment was carried out across 28 climate indicators under five themes (i) Urban Planning\, Green Cover and Biodiversity (ii) Energy and Green Buildings; (iii) Mobility and Air Quality; (vi) Water Management and (v) Waste Management. The indicators formulated are progressive and aspirational in nature and it is not only the reflection of the current performance of cities in India but also provides guidance to progress in a sustainable and climate-friendly manner. \nAbout the speaker: \nDr. Umamaheshwaran Rajasekar is Chair\, Urban Resilience Unit and Heading the Climate Centre for Cities (C-Cube) at National Institute of Urban Affairs\, India. He has over 18 years of experience in developing risk reduction strategies\, climate change analysis\, institutional strengthening for governments\, INGOs and multi-lateral agencies. His recent efforts have been towards bridging the technology and communication gap to enable informed decision making. He has been the team leader and project manager for some of the pioneering risk resilience efforts in India including implementation of early warning systems\, urban disease surveillance and city resilience strategies. \nHis work has been published as peer-reviewed journal articles\, technical reports and has been presented at various international and national forums. Several of his work has been commended in the form of grants and awards. His recent work on the development and implementation of the Urban Health Services Monitoring System has been recognized as an intervention to watch\, by the U.N Secretary General’s global pulse initiative. \nThis webinar is part of ‘NZEB Knowledge Series’ – an initiative supported by USAID’s MAITREE program to accelerate the discussions and catalyse actions on Net Zero Energy Buildings in India.

DESCRIPTION:Learning Objectives: \n\nDescribe the reasons behind the design decisions for the presented projects.\nIdentify the key sustainable elements in each of the projects.\nList two design constraints to sustainability in the projects.\nDiscuss the sustainable building strategies used in these projects.\n\nThis webinar is part of the Sustainability Academy. \nJoin this Sustainability Academy webinar highlighting projects that exemplify sustainable design in action. Architects\, as leaders in the movement to promote awareness of the environmental impact of buildings\, are the standard-bearers for new innovations in design and engineering. Learn how these projects are improving the sustainable footprint of the global built environment. \nRives Taylor\, principal with Gensler’s Houston office and the firm’s sustainability leader\, will discuss the new Houston Advanced Research Center (HARC) headquarters\, which recently received LEED Platinum certification. With a goal of preserving as much of the original site as possible\, designers used natural elements and reclaimed building materials to reduce the new building’s environmental impact. In addition\, a smart building envelope design and on-site solar and geothermal energy generation meet all of the building’s heating\, cooling\, and electricity needs. This webinar will also demonstrate the interactive story map\, created to allow anyone to view the entire planning\, design\, and construction processes. \nSean McGreal\, principal with ZGF\, will present the Conrad N. Hilton Foundation Headquarters\, Phase 1 and 2 in Agoura Hills\, California. The LEED Platinum Phase 1 building is designed with sustainable features\, including a green roof\, solar energy panels\, passive heating and ventilation systems\, a stormwater collection system\, and is net-zero energy ready. Currently in design\, Phase 2 builds in key learnings from Phase 1 and reflects the evolving environmental goals of the foundation. Together\, these projects reflect the foundation’s primary objectives of providing innovative solutions to maximize energy efficiency and environmental protection\, including setting a regional precedent for environmental stewardship.

SUMMARY:Energy Efficient Buildings for a Sustainable Future: Transatlantic Exchange
DESCRIPTION:The impending post-COVID era presents a unique opportunity to build less carbon-dependent economies in a way that addresses social\, economic\, health\, and environmental challenges. \nLooking toward the future\, policy makers must implement the plans\, incentives\, tools\, and technologies needed to truly “build back better” and improve day-to-day life for all people. In doing so\, the built environment must not be overlooked. Buildings are a critical piece of the transition to a lower-carbon future. They are responsible for about 40% of global energy consumption and about one-third of global greenhouse gas emissions. \nThis webinar will bring together high-level decision makers and technical experts from the European Union and the United States to discuss leading policies and programs related to building decarbonization and energy efficiency in the built environment that are transforming the ways we build.
