An introduction to energy efficiency in buildings and the key attributes that will support the delivery energy efficient zero-carbon buildings. Concepts covered will include efficient building designs and systems, enabling efficient building performance through smart building systems, smart building codes and policies, demand-side management strategies. It will also introduce how building integrated renewables are supported through smart and grid-integrated systems.

- Total Building Performance Approach to Real-time Occupant Centric Sensing and Control for Mixed Mode Ventilation in the Tropics - Encouraging energy efficiency through innovative business models - Smart Lab for a Green Future: case of BCA Skylab - Implementation of air quality and real time energy data for sustainable smart buildings

Why is flexibility needed, what is flexibility (type of product), how is it procured (price or contract), flexibility in net-zero? Assumption here is that participants will come more from the building than from the grid world, and therefore need a course on grid flexibility before exploring smart buildings

- Smart grids for SE Asia’s clean energy transition - Intelligent Buildings for Power System Flexibility - Peer-to-Peer Electricity Trading: Decentralised Energy System - Building Flexibility Into the Energy System

- Unlocking sustainable and smart urban energy systems - Finance and business models for green and smart buildings - You’ve got flexibility – who’s buying? - From theory to action: what are the key barriers and opportunities in implementing interactions between buildings and the grid - How will the need for grid flexibility change the way buildings are built and operated

Passive demand-side measures are readily available and represent a considerable opportunity in Indonesia. GBPN has run its own building stock survey to project energy and emissions saving opportunities for buildings. In this talk we cover our emerging approach to policy support and reform for the built environment. We will cover its high level attributes and we will dig into a few aspects of our most successful project to date, in Samarinda. The government of Samarinda has made a Mayoral Decree with targets for building energy performance motivated by our work. Three other activity sites in Indonesia are following Samarinda.

Case studies of buildings that have been designed to be both very energy efficient and making use of local energy storage. Buildings that combine energy efficiency and flexible grid demand are well suited for a low-carbon world, where much of the energy comes from intermittent renewable energy sources. The energy storage technologies are the combination of thermal and electrical storage. The low energy design examples include passive architecture, such as topical office buildings with almost 100% daylight autonomy, as well as active design solutions such as thermally activated building systems, energy recovery and phase change materials.  

The presentation will focus on buildings as efficient and grid-interactive prosumers and distributed energy resources, related challenges and opportunities on the technical and policy sides
