OxTalks is Changing
OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
Energy sufficiency in buildings and cities: concepts and examples
Please note that this is a hybrid event. You will need to register and choose whether you wish to attend in person or online. The online link will be sent out at 10 am on the day.
Abstract: Energy sufficiency is needed to speed up the development of a climate neutral building stock and cities. Apart from technological efficiency and renewable energies and resources, sufficiency tackles over-consumption and tackles the question of “How much is enough?” The talk explains the need for sufficiency and presents examples how sufficiency can be considered as a complementary strategy to efficiency and consistency approaches.
Speaker: Anja Bierwirth is head of the research unit “Urban Transitions” in the research division Energy-, Transport- and Climate Policy at the Wuppertal Institute for Climate, Environment and Energy. She studied architecture in Bremen and Cologne and completed her master studies on environmental sciences at the FernUni Hagen. She worked as an architect and in the field of environmental education. Since 2008 she works at the Wuppertal Institute in the fields of local energy and climate action policy, energy efficiency and sufficiency in buildings and sustainable urban development.
