Electricity use for cooling in Asia has surged, driven by economic growth, population increase, and extreme heat events. Urban areas are particularly affected by this trend due to higher purchasing power and Urban Heat Island effect. Buildings in Asia account for a higher percentage of GHG emissions than the worldwide average, making energy efficient and passive building design strategies an important part of the discussion. UrbanShift and ICLEI Energy Exchanges invite you to a discussion with regional experts on policy and design approaches at the local level.
On August 22, join UrbanShift for a webinar on advancing more efficient and sustainable solutions with regional policy and design experts, hosted in partnership with ICLEI Energy Exchanges, a technical webinar series around local energy transitions.
We look forward to seeing you there! This webinar will be delivered with simultaneous interpretation in English, Mandarin Chinese and Bahasa Indonesia.
