SUMMARY:Designing and Modeling for Net Zero
DESCRIPTION:Completed in 2015\, P.S. 62 is NYC’s first net-zero energy school\, designed under the requirements of the New York City School Construction Authority. The 66\,000 square foot\, 2-story school will serve 440 pre-kindergarten through 5th grade students on Staten Island\, NY. The building harvests as much energy from renewable on-site sources as it uses on an annual basis. The primary renewable energy system is a roof mounted photovoltaic array. \nThis presentation will discuss the challenges and opportunities faced by the design team\, while working hand-in-hand with critical decision makers on the owner and user teams. The presentation will cover the schools design and how the energy modeling process evolve throughout the design. Establishing assumptions with user groups\, making design decisions and ultimately establishing energy usage targets\, critical to the Net Zero Goals of the school. \nSpeakers:\nJeffery Rios\, PE\, LEED AP\nAKF; In Posse \nAbout the speaker :\nMr. Rios specializes in increasing energy efficiency within new and existing buildings. He is highly valued for his experience as a mechanical engineer and his expertise in energy modeling platforms. Jeff is a very collaborative member of the team\, working closely with engineers\, designers\, and architects to provide thoughtful\, results–focused solutions. He has shared his expertise at Greenbuild on WELL Building\, at Urban Green on NYC Energy Codes\, and as a continuing lecture \n\nOrganized by\nIBPSA-USA NYC Chapter

SUMMARY:Social Equity in the Built Environment
DESCRIPTION:In creating a sustainable building\, what if we could create something that helps the people in the community\, the people who take care of the building and the people who physically built the building? \nWhat if we really understood how to have a dialogue about the sometimes thorny issues of equity in a way that was collaborative\, fruitful and realistic? And what if we had a 2030 Social Challenge as well as a 2030 Building Challenge? \nThis lecture will provide background on why we separate the needs of people from our design process. We will look at case studies of projects that are incorporating strategies to help the less empowered\, at how LEED is approaching these issues and at ways to think about social equity in your projects.  \n\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nSPEAKERS\n\nSusan Kaplan\, LEED Fellow\nPresident\, BuildingWrx \nMindy Thompson Fullilove\, MD\, HON AIA\nProfessor of Urban Policy and Health\, Milano School of International Affairs\, Management and Urban Policy

SUMMARY:Sustainable Fashion: A Brand New Bag
DESCRIPTION:Panel Discussion: Sustainable Fashion: A Brand New Bag \nModerator: Debera Johnson\, Executive Director\, Brooklyn Fashion & Design Accelerator; Executive Director\, Pratt Center for Sustainable Design; \nPanelists:\nKate Daly\, Executive Director\, Center for the Circular Economy at Closed Loop Partners\nMara Hoffman\, Founder\, Mara Hoffman\nMegan Meiklejohn\, Sustainable Materials & Transparency Manager\, Eileen Fisher\nMeghan Ryan\, Manager\, Advisory Services\, BSR\, Founder of Sourcemap \nSustainable fashion — the alternative to fast fashion — compels us to rethink the way we buy and sell our clothes. Falling under the umbrella\, or may we say parasol of sustainable design\, this design ethos emphasizes the environmental and social impact of how we choose to dress and furthermore\, how these choices are inextricably linked to the present and future well-being of our planet and civil society. The current global clothing supply chain touches all aspects of sourcing\, producing and manufacturing\, often resulting in multi-national corporations which employ methods that drive prices down but fail to reflect the true costs on society. Now eco-conscious players like Eileen Fisher\, Stella McCartney\, and Patagonia\, are disrupting the fashion market to provide sustainable alternatives — garments with a longer lifespan and a smaller carbon footprint that minimize environmental impact.\nPlease join our panel of experts to explore how we can support the emergence of sustainable fashion as a stronger sub-sector within the industry. \nComplimentary pre-registration is required to attend this program.

SUMMARY:Climate Change and the Future of Cities
DESCRIPTION:What can cities do about climate change? How can they help reduce greenhouse gas emissions and create more sustainable forms of collective life? How can they protect vulnerable people and places from the outbursts of extreme weather that are becoming evermore likely to arrive? And can they adapt to global warming without making the world even more unequal? Drawing on original research and his experience as Research Director of the federal government’s Rebuild By Design competition for rebuilding after Sandy\, Klinenberg will examine innovative urban climate projects across the planet and offer surprising solutions for some of the most challenging problems of our time. \nNYU Urban Seminar Series: Equity\, Design\, and Climate Change\nCo-sponsored by NYU Wagner\, NYU Department of Environmental Studies\, and UPSA.\n \nCities today are growing quickly. The UN projects that continuing population growth and urbanization will add 2.5 billion people to the world’s urban centers by 2050. Even as our cities expand\, unprecedented climate events flood our urban spaces\, redraw shorelines\, and devastate infrastructure. In the face of these twinned challenges of rapid growth and climate change\, how do we design our cities so that they are inclusive\, and remain centers of economic growth and creative dynamism that integrate new arrivals\, while at the same time becoming more resilient to climate change? How do we ensure that our design approaches promote equity in our cities\, and address climate change impacts that are most often felt by the economically vulnerable populations and areas of our cities? How do we create a design process that is inclusive\, represents the needs of different urban constituencies\, and draws on the creativity of all residents as we address emergent climate shifts? The 2018 NYU Urban Seminar Series will include urban planners\, designers\, researchers\, practitioners\, and artists whose work explores the intersection of equity\, design\, and climate change.

SUMMARY:Beyond Green Growth: Policymaking under Planetary Boundaries for the Transformations Towards Sustainable Development
DESCRIPTION:In 2015\, the United Nations announced a document known as ‘Transforming our World: the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development’\, which is built around the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Agenda stresses the need to change our development path. Indeed\, the existing development models do not fit this new agenda\, and several alternatives have been proposed. Among those\, the discourse of “green growth” has gained ground in governance deliberations and policy proposals. It is presented as a fresh and innovative agenda centered on the deployment of engineering sophistication\, managerial acumen\, and market mechanisms to redress the environmental and social derelictions of the current development models. But can the green growth project deliver environmental sustainability\, social justice and the achievement of economic life upon a materially finite planet? This presentation tries to answer several questions. First\, what explains modern society’s investment in the green growth idea\, why has it emerged as a master concept in the contemporary conjuncture\, and what social forces does it serve? Second\, how do we evaluate the results of a series of prominent green growth projects? Finally\, it weighs up the merits and demerits of alternative strategies and policies asking the vital question: If not green growth\, then what development models we need for the 2030 Agenda? How can we transform our development model and policy making to take into consideration planetary boundaries? The presentation by Jose A. Puppim de Oliveira will bring examples of cities and focus the discussion on alternative models of urban development. \nNYU Urban Seminar Series: Equity\, Design\, and Climate Change\nCo-sponsored by NYU Wagner\, NYU Department of Environmental Studies\, and UPSA.\n \nCities today are growing quickly. The UN projects that continuing population growth and urbanization will add 2.5 billion people to the world’s urban centers by 2050. Even as our cities expand\, unprecedented climate events flood our urban spaces\, redraw shorelines\, and devastate infrastructure. In the face of these twinned challenges of rapid growth and climate change\, how do we design our cities so that they are inclusive\, and remain centers of economic growth and creative dynamism that integrate new arrivals\, while at the same time becoming more resilient to climate change?

SUMMARY:Affordability as Infrastructure
DESCRIPTION:New York is a city of renters; most residents rent their homes\, small business owners lease their storefronts\, and artists share and sublet studio spaces. Affordable lease terms lay the groundwork for the cultural vibrancy of city life\, yet skyrocketing property values\, excessive rent hikes and deteriorating building stock are eroding this essential infrastructure. \nIs it possible to balance growth without displacement? Join Scott Anderson\, Betsy MacLean\, Sam Marks\, Gregory Schiefelbein\, and Barika Williams to debate how to maintain and expand affordable housing in New York City. \n\n\n\nScott Anderson ▷\nFund for Public Housing\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\nBetsy MacLean ▷\nHester Street Collaborative\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\nSam Marks ▷\nLISC NYC\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\nGregory Schiefelbein ▷\nCiti Community Development\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n\n \n\nBarika Williams ▷\nANHD\n\n\n\n \nThe Urban Design Forum promotes conversation between invited civic leaders\, designers\, developers and advocates. Forum Fellows are welcome to invite one additional guest to attend. Tickets to this event are non-transferable. \n

SUMMARY:Where Next on Climate? Energy Access\, Development and Climate Change: Implications for Policy
DESCRIPTION:In a world struggling to respond adequately to the challenge of climate change\, how should we think about the implications of efforts to alleviate poverty by facilitating energy development that enables economic opportunity – and what are the implications of success on climate change? A better understanding of the implications for climate change of energy access and of energy for further development can inform effective policy responses and investments in technology and R&D – which may be especially important in a time of uncertainty about national policies across the industrialized world. \nAs part of our on-going speaker series “Where Next on Climate?” the Center on Global Energy Policy is hosting a presentation and panel discussion on climate\, energy\, and development. Philippe Benoit\, Senior Associate for the Energy and National Security Program at the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS)\, will present findings from his on-going work on these topic. Following Mr. Benoit’s presentation\, he will join a panel discussion with the following experts:  \n– Morgan Bazilian\, Executive Director of the Payne Institute and Research Professor of Public Policy\, Colorado School of Mines\n– Ellen Morris\, Adjunct Professor of International and Public Affairs\, Columbia/SIPA \n– Kathleen Auth\, Deputy Energy Office Director\, Power Africa\, US Agency for International Development (USAID) \n\nEvent Contact Information: \nCenter on Global Energy Policy \nenergypolicy@columbia.edu

SUMMARY:Three Strikes: An Overview of our Quest for Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:2018 marks the 50th Anniversary of Paul R. Ehrlich’s seminar book entitled “The population Bomb” and the 30th Anniversary of James Hansen historical testimony on climate change in the US Congress. Decades later\, our quest for sustainability can be characterized by a growing frustration of scientists and activists with the lack of action to subvert environmental catastrophes and series of failed Malthusian prophecies undermining the public trust in the view of skeptics. \nOne has to recognize that during these decades both sides made serious errors. Those who wanted immediate actions made dire predictions prematurely such as major famines\, the end of snowy winters or the disappearance of Arctic Ice. On the other hand\, contrarians fail to admit that infinite growth on a finite planet is undoubtedly unsustainable. \nDespite the regular complaint by advocates about the inability of free societies to mobilize for action\, in reality there were a number of policy actions that clearly failed to accomplish their stated goals or in worse cases turned out to be actually harmful. Perhaps the best example is the biofuel mandate that resulted in growing crops in the developed world to satisfy 5-10% of transportation fuel needs that could feed over 800 million people. \nSome of the misguided policies are due to erroneous prioritization. Moving away from fossil fuels is undeniably a must\, irrespective of climate change since fossil fuels are finite. Decarbonizing our economy is clearly essential for sustainability that solves climate change as byproduct\, while prioritizing on carbon-dioxide emission has led to heavy investments in dead end solutions such as carbon sequestration (through carbon capture and storage). \nThe presentation will discuss energy and water related examples where recognizing the limits of our finite planet is critical\, but the promoted solutions are likely questionable. While\, it is not hard to find more than three strikes where the policies advocated by scientists failed but it would be a mistake to conflate bad sciences with real science. The presentation will show that the failed policies were predictable from start since they violated fundamental scientific principles. \nThe presentation will argue that after decades of mixed results\, it is time to rethink\, how humanity pursues its efforts to sustainable development and lay out a future that recognizes human needs while minimizes their negative impacts on our planet. \nAbout the lecturer:  \nBalázs M. Fekete born in Budapest\, Hungary earned his M.Sc. Degree in Civil Engineering at the Technical University of Budapest in 1984. After graduation\, he worked at the Water Resources Research Centre (VITUKI) where he participated in a wide range of research activities such as agricultural waste water disposal\, agricultural water management\, satellite and airborne remote sensing of water resources. \nAfter the political changes in the late 80s\, he joined a private company (GEOMETRIA Ltd.) to develop geographical information systems solution for municipal and environmental resources management. He continued similar work specifically focusing on the Danube affected by the planned Gabcikovo-Nagymaros dam system\, when he joined an independent research organization (ISTER). \nHe moved to the United States in 1993\, where he started to work on large scale hydrological modeling and water resources assessments at the University of New Hampshire (UNH). He earned his Ph.D. in Earth Sciences at UNH in 2001\, while working as a full time research scientist.  \nDr. Fekete is well known in his field for his work on i) incorporating river discharge information into water resources assessments\, ii) developing simulated river networks at various resolutions\, iii) modeling stable isotope processes in large scale hydrological models\, iv) developing specialized GIS infrastructures to support hydrological modeling\, v) developing advanced modeling frameworks that utilizes modern multicore computers. Dr. Fekete participated in the last two decades in a number of international activities to promote improved Earth system monitoring with particular interest in hydrometeorological observations. \nDr. Fekete moved to New York in 2008 first as a project director at the newly forming Environmental Sciences Initiative of the CUNY Advanced Science Research Center and joined the faculty of the Civil Engineering Department of the City College of New York\, while maintaining affiliate status at ASRC. \nEver since\, Prof. Fekete moved to New York\, he extended his research interest to a wider range of sustainability questions\, with special interest in the tradeoffs between energy\, water and land use.

SUMMARY:The Future of Domestic Hot Water in NYC
DESCRIPTION:As buildings in New York City become more reliant on renewable and stored energy\, air source heat pump (ASHP) domestic hot water systems will likely become more prevalent in multifamily buildings over the coming decades. These systems have specific challenges\, including: \nWhat are the technological barriers? Do any seem insurmountable? \nHow well can new hot water equipment interface with existing piping and infrastructure? \nHow does solar thermal fit in? Is there a future for combined thermal / PV panels in the NYC market? \nCan heat pumps entirely replace conventional hot water heaters\, or will back-up systems be needed? \nThis event builds upon Urban Green’s 2017 conference\, which explored the role of broad electrification of building systems in NYC’s 80×50 Climate Plan. \nRegister here. \nCost: $5-15 based on membership status.

SUMMARY:Book Talk - Blue Dunes: Climate Change by Design!
DESCRIPTION:Blue Dunes: Climate Change by Design is a book documenting the proposal to create an offshore barrier island chain in the New York/New Jersey Harbor. Today\, this proposal stands at a crossroads and its potential for the future of coastal protection requires further development. Participating scientists\, engineers\, planners\, economists\, and maritime stakeholders identified critical key issues including: water quality\, habitats\, recreation\, navigation\, constructability\, and funding. The Blue Dunes Research Initiative (BDRI) explored these issues and developed a new approach to coastal protection. Funded originally by HUD and the Rockefeller Foundation through the Rebuild by Design competition\, the work behind this book describes the necessity of creating a knowledge network around resiliency for the entire region’s urban coastal communities; from the organizations that serve them to the scientists invested in researching them.

SUMMARY:Sustainability Measurement in China: Fostering a Race to the Top
DESCRIPTION:Sustainability is now widely recognized as an essential component for development in China\, with the Chinese government setting ambitious environmental and social targets. However\, the sheer pace of China’s economic growth makes establishing a sustainable development strategy a difficult task that requires purposeful decentralized action. This event will explore the importance of a standardized system to assess sustainability at the local level. We will present and discuss the recently launched China Sustainable Development Indicator System (CSDIS)\, an annual ranking of the sustainability performance of Chinese cities and provinces created jointly by the Earth Institute’s Research Program on Sustainability Policy and Management and Beijing-based CCIEE\, the China Center for International Economic Exchanges. Details of the system are available at urbansustainability.org. \nThe event will introduce the ranking and explore the value of measuring a broad but transparent set of sustainability indicators to encourage cities and provinces to begin a race to the top in environmental quality. The panelists will discuss how such systems can complement policymaking in China’s local administrative system\, the balance between the state and the private sector as well as sustainable development in China more broadly. \nIntroductory Remarks:\n• Steve Cohen\, Executive Director\, Earth Institute \nModerator:\n• Satyajit Bose\, Lecturer and Associate Director of the Research Program on Sustainability Policy & Management \nPanelists:\n• Weiping Wu\, Professor and Director\, Urban Planning Program\, Graduate School of Architecture\, Planning & Preservation\n• Jonathan Krane\, Founder & CEO of KraneShares\n• Dong Guo\, Associate Research Scholar and Director of the Earth Institute China Initiative \n\n \nThis event is free and open to the public; RSVP required. The panel will be followed by a reception with wine\, beer and hors d’oeuvres.\n \nEvent Contact Information: \nKelsie DeFrancia\nkdefrancia@ei.columbia.edu\n
