The Sustainable Energy 4 All Initiative is ambitious but it will be for nothing if it does not learn from past programs.
Urban Heat
Our cities and buildings exacerbate the negative effects of climate change. In particular, the impacts of rising temperatures. But they don’t have to.
Viewing Methane
Google’s Street View has become an unlikely source of support in combating climate change.
Energy Transmission
Here is why a lack of reliable, modern transmission lines is one of the biggest obstacles to the development of clean energy.
Explosive Power
An innovative project in Rwanda is taking advantage of an “exploding lake” to generate power for remote communities.
Building Carbon
Green buildings are a popular step towards reducing carbon emissions, but what about the carbon associated with building materials?
Wasting Water
California is in the midst of a historic drought and new water infrastructure is offered as the solution. But is it really?
Old Walls
Thermal improvements in historic buildings go a long way to reducing their energy consumption.
Managing Water
Water supply is one resource that will be critically impacted by climate change. How are countries like Costa Rica dealing with this?
Efficient Behaviour
Building characteristics are only one part of the energy efficiency story. Changing behaviour is equally as important.
