ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND RENEWABLE ENERGY

PLAN FOR NET ZERO: DIRECT AIR CAPTURE

Speaker: Anna Stukas, P.Eng.

Carbon Engineering Ltd. (CE) is a Canadian-based clean energy company leading the commercialization of technology that captures carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. This session will discuss the groundbreaking solution, called Direct Air Capture, which offers two complementary paths for complete decarbonization of even the most difficult sectors.

MODELLING FOR A WARMER CLIMATE

Speaker: Susan MacDougall, P.Eng., FEC and Sarah Shepherd, EIT

The Province of British Columbia will experience significant changes in climate over the next several decades. Energy modelling for future climate scenarios is now an important step in building design that helps design teams and owners understand how a changing climate will impact a building’s energy performance, equipment sizing, and comfort conditions. With a focus on Step Code Buildings, this presentation will include an introductory approach to analyzing a building’s performance with respect to overheating.

THE FUTURE OF SOLAR AND STORAGE

Speaker: Ed Knaggs, P.Eng.

The solar and storage industry is growing fast! This session will dive into the global market, explore the applications, review where the market has come from, and where it is going. The session will examine all the driving factors affecting the markets and where they may be heading in the future.

IMPLEMENTING CLEANBC - HOW TO OPTIMIZE OUR IMPACT ON ENERGY AND EMISSONS

Speaker: Megan Lohmann and Scott Sinclair, P.Eng.

The Province of BC’s CleanBC strategy lays out a pathway to achieving 80% emission reductions by 2050 in British Columbia. Local governments have significant influence over community-wide emissions, and as such, can unlock opportunities for innovative emission reductions and energy efficiency. Find out what it is going to take to achieve the necessary emission reductions in BC and what the engineering profession can do to accelerate action in the buildings sector. Learn about the innovative solutions communities are implementing across BC, and how industry can be positioned to support and benefit from the clean energy transition.
