Transforming Design and Energy for a Sustainable and Resilient Future
Advances in research and technology are catalyzing transformations in education and practice for sustainable and resilient built environments. In SyracuseCoE’s 16th annual Symposium, presentations will address emerging innovations across many scales, from high-performance buildings to human-centered urban design, from nanoscale-enabled energy systems to cyber-physical interactive environments, and from smart grids and power system resiliency to adaptive building systems and performance augmentation materials.

A.2 Nanoscale/Microscale-Enabled Energy Systems Design |
B.2 Power System Resiliency and Security | C.2 Innovation for Municipal Infrastructure | |
| 11:15 |
This session will discuss the advancements brought about in energy systems due to the inclusion of nano/micro-scale based designs. Such designs affect the process at the fundamental level and lead to enhancements in energy efficiency as well as cost savings. |
Power system resiliency, especially during extreme events such as natural disasters and cyber intrusions, has gained recent attention. Fast recovery and adapting to extreme events are critical for a resilient power grid. Smart grids have introduced opportunities to increase system resiliency and challenges such as cyber security of the power grid. This session will discuss these opportunities and challenges from various perspectives. | The City of Syracuse’s Innovation Team recently launched a series of initiatives aimed at addressing infrastructure challenges that many municipalities experience. They will discuss their infrastructure interventions, and explain how technology and data can be used to solve similar problems in other communities. |

A.3 Dynamic and Adaptive Building Systems for Environmental Control |
B.3 Data Analytics and the Electric Grid | C.3 Future Cities | |
| 2:00 |
This session will discuss about the state-of-the-art technologies and methods that are contributing to developing building systems that can dynamically adapt to its environment and occupants. The scope of the enabling technology includes both software and hardware (e.g. simulation platforms to innovative building envelop systems) that augments the design, construction, and control process of adaptive building systems. |
The electric grid is being transformed with the deployment of smart meters, monitors, controllers, and smart devices all networked and generating large amounts of data which can be used to match supply and demand, repair outages more quickly, help consumers manage their energy usage and better manage grid resources. This panel will look at the opportunities and challenges created by big data on the grid. | This session will explore the environmental implications, energy resources, and urban planning transformation of future cities with a special consideration for how the ubiquity of technology is re-shaping how we envision and interact with our environments. |

| 3:30 | This session will discuss on advancements in health-related technology by understanding and engineering various aspects of the human body, and such designs can lead to potential transformations in the health-care sector. The impact of bio-designed materials on energy and the environment will also be discussed. | Demand response programs encourage customers to adjust their electricity usage in response to the supply and demand for electricity, helping to reduce peak demand and avoid potential outages. This can be accomplished through price incentives, voluntary appeals, or automated control over customer usage. This panel will discuss the effectiveness of different approaches to demand response. | A Dutch consortium of builders, suppliers, municipalities and financiers has demonstrated how existing residential buildings can be transformed to become net-zero energy via turn-key whole-building retrofits that are completed within a few days. Presentations in this session will describe the “Energiesprong (Energy Leap)” model, and explain how NYSERDA is using a similar approach to transform the multifamily housing sector across New York State. |
