Panel presentations\, poster s &\; discussions focus on:
Panel One: Energy Tr ansitions For a Decarbonized Economy: How Fast and at What Cost?
Cli mate change commitment is a major focus for the Canadian government with c lear policy goals to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to transiti on to a low carbon economy over the long term. What are the implications f or the energy sector in the short to medium term? What are the credible te chnological and policy options that can meet the test of economic competit iveness\, consumer acceptance and affordability? Our panel of policy analy sts\, climate change experts\, and social and political scientists will ta lk about the various impacts of adopted policies on the national economy o f Canada.
Panel Two: Low Energy Green Buildings: What Can Innovation Do?
Green buildings aka net zero energy buildings are expected to l ast longer\, be energy efficient and cost effective\, and provide healthy environmental conditions for occupants The government policy is to promote highly productive and efficient buildings in the residential and commerci al sectors. Our panel of experts in this discipline will shed light on bes t practices including material selection\, building codes\, design enginee ring\, real estate norms\, and architectural standards that should be adju sted to meet the energy demands of the community in Canada.
Panel Th ree: Energy Access for Canada's Remote First Nations Communities: If Not N ow\, When?
There are nearly 300 remote communities across Northern C anada – about 170 of them First Nations – and mostly rely on diesel genera tors with fuel flown in or trucked in via ice road. It’s not only environm entally damaging\, it’s also expensive – up to $1 per kilowatt-hour – so b uilding capacity to get energy from renewable sources is the preferred opt ion. The Canadian government at various levels in partnership with academi c institutes is working with the indigenous communities to find innovative solutions that could end energy poverty. Our panel of internationally re nowned researchers\, technology &\; policy specialists\, and political leaders will discuss the need of developing economically feasible and fina ncially viable energy systems to provide affordable and clean energy to re mote indigenous communities across Canada.
