Boosting the number and diversity of energy professionals in the building sector – ‘5 passi da ingegnera’
Abstract: To achieve our energy and climate policy goals, the buildings sector needs to decarbonize rapidly over the coming years. But will there be enough well-trained specialists? And are we attracting enough women into the sector? In this webinar, the EnR network brings together two initiatives that are aiming to tackle these questions: Part 1 […]
Tackling the lack of skilled workers in the building sector – the Swiss way
Abstract: To achieve our energy and climate policy goals, the buildings sector needs to decarbonize rapidly over the coming years. But will there be enough well-trained specialists? And are we attracting enough women into the sector? In this webinar, the EnR network brings together two initiatives that are aiming to tackle these questions: Part 1 […]
Introducing a new guidebook to improve consumer engagement with demand-response initiatives
Abstract: About 90% of electricity generation is projected to come from renewable sources by 2050 (https://www.iea.org/reports/net-zero-by-2050). However, increased dependence on renewables (such as wind and solar) can make energy supply more volatile and harder to predict. Put simply: Will there be enough electricity between 5-7 pm when most of us return from work and turn […]
Introducing a new toolkit to apply behavioural insights to energy policy
Abstract: Reducing energy demand is key to a successful energy transition. Policy is needed to help overcome barriers and the behavioural sciences can play a bigger role in making it more effective. On the webinar, Jesper Akesson and Ondrej Kacha (Task Leaders of the Users TCP Behavioural Insights Platform) will launch a new toolkit designed […]
What can entrepreneurs and their business models contribute to accelerating the energy transition?
Abstract: Entrepreneurship can play a very important role in the energy transition. In the Users TCP Task ‘Energy Service Supporting Business Models and Systems’, we have investigated how more radical business models and entrepreneurial journeys are shaped by the institutional context within which they aim to scale up and how these entrepreneurs in turn also […]
Applying behavioural insights to demand side energy policies and programmes: where do we stand?
Abstract: What behavioural factors act as barriers to energy saving behaviours, to the uptake of energy efficient, clean energy technologies and of sustainable mobility options? How can energy ministries, regulatory agencies and utilities leverage behavioural insights (BIs) to design and implement more effective energy policies and programmes? In this webinar, Elisabetta Cornago from the International […]
Entrepreneurship in the energy transition
Abstract: Many new business models and types of entrepreneurs are emerging to accelerate the energy transition. We will share first findings on how these new business models look like and the new type of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurial capabilities needed to operate successfully in the complex, uncertain energy transition, and of course reflect briefly on what […]
