SPEED: Green Buildings and Energy Efficiency
Channel NewsAsia, 8.30pm, 9 March 2012

The programme examines developments which will make homes and buildings more energy efficient and 'green'. The building sector alone contributes 40 per cent of the world's energy usage, that is why greening buildings are not trivial matters, especially those which operates 24 hours a day. Dr Nilesh Jadhav, a senior scientist & Program Manager from the Energy Research Institute @ NTU, said that green building planning starts from the concept stage; consisting of two components of design, active, such as shading, orientation of building; and passive, the air conditioning systems for examples. That is why there are guidelines for green buildings.

Canadian Tar Sands, US National Energy Security & Striving for Sustainability: Is There an Incompatibility?
23rd April 2012

The Province of Alberta is second in oil reserves and production behind Saudi Arabia. The main oil source is tar sands. Tar sands mining got quite some international attention because it's presumably very high greenhouse gas emission. The US energy security is increasingly dependent on Alberta's oil and in a few years will cover close to 25 percent of its liquid fuel needs with oil from tar sands. In my presentation I will shortly describe how tar sands were formed in geological times, how they are mined, and how the US dependency on Albertan oil will grow. The main part of the seminar will deal with the analysis and discussion of the environmental, economic, and societal impact of oil sand mining and how it compares environmentally to conventional oil and biofuels.
