November 2011 Activities

During November, 2degrees will be bringing you a range of content and activities relating to sustainability

across the built environment. We’ll be focusing on building integrated renewables throughout the month,

with a look at the UK’s Renewable Heat Incentive as well as onsite energy opportunities both in

commercial offices and retail properties. We’ll also be exploring microgrids and what they mean for

sustainability and looking at the technology trends for intelligent buildings in North America.

Thought Leadership

FROM NOVEMBER 1ST

Throughout November, we’ll have blog posts f rom our regular

line up of contributors including: Robert de Jong from the Urban

Land Institute who’ll be looking at the German/EU investor

perspective of green buildings, Martin Townsend of BRE Global

and Paul Hinkin of Black Architecture. We’ll also be bringing you

updates from some of the key events including the UK Passivhaus

conference, the Intelligent Cities Expo and the 40percent

symposium on managing sustainability in commercial properties.

Behavior Change and Energy

Use in Commercial Buildings

FROM NOVEMBER 2ND

Starting on November 2nd

we’ll have a discussion forum on what

tactics organizations can use to encourage occupants to change

Turning up the Heat: Renewable

Heat in the UK, the

opportunities and incentives

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 8TH

4:00 P.M. (GMT) / 11:00 A.M. (DST)

The UK’s Renewable Heat Incentive (RHI) is a ground breaking

policy to support and accelerate the uptake of renewable heating

technologies. This webinar, brought to you in partnership with the

Trade Commissioner Service at the High Commission of Canada in

London, looks in detail at the initiative and how it will operate. It

also explores the commercial and practical considerations of the

eligible technologies and gives an insight into successful

renewable heating applications in Canada and how they can beapplied in the UK.

Innovative Cities

FROM NOVEMBER 10TH

Starting on November 10th

we’ll have a discussion forum on what

initiatives and characteristics it takes to make a city truly smart

and a desirable place to live and work .

Renewable Energy

Opportunities for CorporateClients


3:00 P.M. (GMT) / 10:00 A.M. (DST)

Market conditions and government incentives around the globe

are encouraging companies to consider on-site and off-siterenewable energy installations in a bid to lower their carbon

footprints and safeguard against rising energy costs. This webinar,

with Jones Lang LaSalle, will look at the key drivers in different

countries, four of the common ownership models for on-site

renewables and some of the commercial, legal and practical

issues to be considered at the investment stage.

What are Micro Grids and Why

Are They Important toSustainability?

THURSDAY NOVEMBER 17TH

3:00 P.M. (GMT) / 10:00 A.M. (DST)

Metering: Easier and harder

than you think

TUESDAY NOVEMBER 22ND

10:00 A.M. (GMT) / 5:00 A.M. (DST)

The first step in water conservation is to understand a site’s water

consumption and make it visible to the owners and occupiers. In

this webinar we will demystify smart water metering by defining

what a smart water meter is and how it works, discuss the role of

smart water meters in obtaining valuable water use data and

provide an overview of the technologies which are employed

together with case studies.

behind the solutions they install, which technologies are best

suited to individual applications and some of the practical

installation lessons learnt, including the importance of

commissioning.

The Current and Future
