CITIES invites to Workshop / Webinar August 12, 2020, 9:00 AM – 12:00 PM CEST
In the quest for fossil-free cities and a fossil-free building sector, there is continued need to maximise energy efficiency of buildings and energy systems in cities. Even the limited energy use should to a maximum possible extent come from renewable sources, and the classical challenge of balancing demand and supply becomes an issue, which calls for flexible operation of all units.
Contemporary digital and data-driven methods are key to optimize the operation of buildings and district energy systems such that use of fossil fuels can be minimized without compromising on comfort and functionality of the built environment. The workshop will give an overview of potentials and state-of-the-art technologies in the field.
Congratulations to Rune Grønborg Junker. On Thursday 6, February 2020 he has defended his PhD. A copy of the PhD thesis is available for reading at the department. Popular science summary of the PhD thesis: Energy grids around the world are undergoing a transformation from conventional production schemes based on carbon to renewable energy sources. …
CITIES Innovation Center conduct projects on cloud-based solutions for research of energy data. All project are designed to handle the intelligent IT solutions of the center. These include three layers: a repository, a computational and an operation layer. Together the three are constituting the overall IT infrastructure of CITIES Innovation Center. The data repository (SE-Data), …
Et forslag fra professor og centerleder i CITIES Henrik Madsen samt lektor Karl Sperling og professor Brian Vad Mathiesen fra Aalborg Universitet foreslår, at Danmark indfører CO2-afgifter og lader pengene indgå i en CO2-fond, der støtter industriens grønne omstilling. Forslaget bygger bro mellem Klimarådets forslag om og Dansk Industris afvisning af en indførelse af klimaafgifter …
