European Perspective on Applications for Future Smart, Energy Efficient Buildings

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 04:21:35 -0500

Presented by Alain Zarli, PhD, Head of Division, Centre Scientifique et Technique du Bâtiment (CSTB) and Sami Kazi, PhD, Chief Research Scientist, VTT Technical Research Centre of FinlandInformation and Communication Technologies (ICT) is the key for a 2-way flow of both energy and information in the energy sector and future smart grids. ICT will liberalize the market, leading to a change of business in the energy sector (in a similar way this has been the case for telecom with ICT). ICT will empower people through smart e-metering, new smart e-devices, etc. In France, ERDF (subsidiary of EDF and the largest electricity distribution network in the European Union) has launched a major transformation program that will see the replacement of 35 million electricity meters in France, beginning with a pilot trial of 300,000 meters. In the US, Google has huge ambitions to empower the people with means to see their detailed electricity use in the hopes this knowledge will reduce usage through consumer-owned electricity management devices, such as Google’s PowerMeter that uses the iGoogle platform. Today, there is high and promising potential for ICT to become fully pervasive in the future optimization of energy in the built environment - where “energy-efficient smart buildings” will manage their information for an optimal operation of building energy flows and overall building life cycle performance.This webinar will present the recent outcomes of an ongoing European R&D technology roadmap exercise (achieved through EC-funded Coordinated Action REEB - http://www.ict-reeb.eu) for IT to support energy efficiency in buildings, building management systems, neighborhood management systems, etc. REEB was launched in response to the need for coordinating and supporting current and future R&D in Europe, specifically in the area of ICT support to energy efficiency in construction. REEB is currently developing a European-wide agreed vision and roadmap to ...

Microfinace Lunch Break - 05 Q&A 1

Thu, 12 Mar 2009 06:18:55 -0400

First Microfinance Lunch Break in BrusselsIs Microfinance being affected by the financial crisisPART 5 - Q&AIs the world-wide financial crisis impacting the microfinance sector? Are microfinance institutions from developing countries facing problems as a result of this global crisis? And what lessons must investors learn from this? These were the key questions tackled during the first Microfinance Lunch Break organised by ADA, BRS, Cera, KBC and Febelfin in Brussels on February 10, 2009.Damian Von Stauffenberg, founder and president of MicroRate, claimed that microfinance, by and large, remains relatively untouched by the financial crisis. This is due mainly to the fact that microloans are primarily extended for productive activities in the real economy, and are not linked to speculative financial products. Countries and microfinance institutions that depend primarily on foreign investments are now discovering, however, the direct negative impact of the crisis. The key problem they are facing is the fear that there will not be sufficient cash available to finance their growth.Read more on www.microfinancelunchbreak.be

Eritrea: President Isaias Afwerki's interview with Reuters (May 13, 2008)

Eritrea’s mineral resources occupy top list in the region, President underlinesBy StaffMay 14, 2008, 14:08Asmara, 14 May 2008 - President Isaias Afwerki said that Eritrea’s mineral resources, especially gold, occupies top list in the region. He made the remarks in an interview with the news agency Reuters, focusing on political and economic issues. Stating that the yet unexploited resource is both huge and extensive, the President stressed the need to properly harness these resources in the interest of the people. He further underscored that Eritrea’s policy as regards to the share of profits with partners is fair. President Isaias went on to explain that in addition to the mining sector, efforts are being stepped up to develop agriculture, fisheries and tourism so as to improve the people’s standard of living as well as raise income per capita and narrow the gap between the rich and poor. In this connection, the country has registered noticeable progress, he added. Noting that the principle of self-reliance, as some parties erroneously describe, is not an exclusive tendency but rather one that lays the groundwork for fair partnership, the President indicated that Eritrea strongly advocates coordination, partnership and complimentary efforts for common benefit. As regards talks that the withdrawal of the peacekeeping force could lead to ‘possible’ renewed war, President Isaias elaborated that such baseless fabrications and the usual game of intimidation on the part of the UN Security Council and the Secretary General are resorted to in a bid to cover up their weaknesses and failure. As the Eritrea-Ethiopia border issue has reached legal conclusion, there is no reason at all for confrontation and tension, he explained.Indicating that the term “terrorism” in the wake of 9/11 is being employed as a precondition for resorting to any wrong and unjustified practice, the President stated that it is essentially wrong and da...
