Seminar 60 -- How Will Climate Change Affect Standards, Guidelines, and the Way We Design? Part 3: Decarbonization by Smart Grid and Adaptation to Northern Warming

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

This is Part 3 of a 3-part seminar series. Part 3 looks at specific solutions and problems related to climate change. International standards concerning new building guidelines for the smart grid and their relationship to decarbonization is explored in the first presentation. The second presentation similarly explores how carbon emissions are changing with time in Minnesota and explores how the ASHRAE Smart Grid Guide can be used. The third presentation looks at warming in the Canadian north and associatedadaptations that are needed.
