The 13 office buildings in Richmond, B.C.’s Airport Executive Park – a business park located on 35 acres of green space – date back to a time when climate change and carbon footprints weren’t part of mainstream discussions and long-term environmental control programs. But as more companies set climate and sustainability targets, many are actively working toward reducing greenhouse-gas (GHG) emissions within their operations and supply chains. Fiera Real Estate Canada – the current owner of Richmond’s Airport Executive Park (AEP) – is aiming to achieve net-zero emissions by 2040, partly through the installation of electric heat pumps that will replace its gas-fired heating systems, which date back to the 1980s and early 2000s. The company’s net-zero ambitions are emblematic of the significant commitments national building owners are making that will help Canada reach its target of net-zero building emissions by 2050. And while 25 years from today may seem like a long time, experts warn Canada isn’t making progress fast enough to achieve its goal. The clock began ticking in 2021 when the federal government adopted the Canadian Net-Zero Emissions Accountability Act , aiming for net-zero emissions by 2050, with an interim target of GHG reductions hitting at least 40 per cent below 2005 levels by 2030. Released this year, the Canada Green Buildings Strategy says there are more than 564,000 commercial and institutional buildings across the country, and because the majority are expected to still be in use in 2050, most will require extensive upgrades and retrofitting to reach Canada’s net-zero goal. “It’s hard to see how we’re going to achieve the interim standards for the building sector by 2030, and if we don’t reach them, the climb to 2050 is going to be a lot harder,” says Thomas Mueller, president and chief executive officer of the Canada Green Building Council (CAGBC), which supports the building industry’s transition to green structures and sets national standards for zero-carbon buildings. Updated in July, the council’s Zero Carbon Building standards focus on maintaining high energy efficiency in new buildings and reducing carbon emissions in older structures by replacing fossil-fuel-burning equipment. It estimates that Canada needs to convert at least 3 per cent of its buildings to net-zero emissions a year and invest billions in making buildings greener. A recent study from CAGBC and the Delphi Group – a Canadian climate and sustainability consultancy – identifies the most-needed upgrades in buildings to be LED lighting, triple-glazed windows, roof insulation, high-efficiency ventilation systems, as well as computer control systems that reduce heating and cooling when rooms are not in use. These upgrades require major structural changes and are why most building owners are conducting feasibility studies and putting refits into their 10-year plans, says Tonya Lagrasta, vice-president and head of ESG at commercial real estate services company Colliers Canada. However, she says: “The price tags for things like window replacements can have owners of older buildings falling off their chairs.” The Pembina Institute, a clean-energy think tank, estimates that decarbonizing Canada’s commercial and residential building sector will require more than $400-billion in upgrades. It also concludes that more incentives must be put in place. Since grants are often difficult for governments to finance and administer, tax credits to stimulate investment are more practical, says Mr. Mueller. However, a challenge is that several provinces and cities have building codes that include specifications that vary from the federal standards. “It is a real hodgepodge of standards across the country and that is contributing to confusion,” says Terry Bergen, Victoria-based managing principal of RJC Engineers, a building science consultancy. For retrofits, there is also a misconception that high efficiency comes with higher operating costs. But recently, a lot of studies have been released that demonstrate a high return on investment by making these changes, says Duncan Rowe, a Toronto-based principal with RJC Engineers. At the same time, Mr. Rowe acknowledges that it’s not economical or ecologically practical to speed up the replacement of nearly-new equipment just to meet a standard. In other words, upgrades should be aligned with the life cycle of equipment. In the case of Airport Executive Park, the heating systems were several decades old and in need of replacement. While the newly installed systems are less than a year old, the expectation is that annual energy cost savings for all the property’s buildings will be as much as 50 per cent. In the long term, achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 is an interim step toward a goal of being fully net-zero energy – producing as much clean energy as consumed with on-site clean and renewable sources, such as solar, wind or geothermal, Ms. Lagrasta says. Net-zero energy is achievable because technology is advancing, says Mr. Rowe. For instance, solar technology is becoming affordable and can be efficient at powering some buildings, but it needs the right conditions. If a building owner has a large roof area, solar is a practical solution, though it won’t be sufficient for an office tower with a small roof. However, there are also developments in photovoltaic glass that can turn windows into power sources, Mr. Rowe says. Ultimately, economics – not politics – will persuade building owners to invest in green technology, Ms. Lagrasta says. A study by Colliers found tenants are willing to pay a premium of an average of 8 per cent to be in a building with a high sustainability rating. “Building owners value their assets and political winds come and go. But it will become harder to attract and retain tenants in an older building that is falling behind the curve,” Ms. Lagrasta says.
December 6, 2024 This article has been reviewed according to Science X's editorial process and policies . Editors have highlightedthe following attributes while ensuring the content's credibility: fact-checked peer-reviewed publication trusted source proofread by Tatyana Woodall, The Ohio State University A team of scientists has created a new shape-changing polymer that could transform how future soft materials are constructed. Made using a material called a liquid crystalline elastomer (LCE), a soft rubber-like material that can be stimulated by external forces like light or heat, the polymer is so versatile that it can move in several directions. Its behavior, which resembles the movements of animals in nature, includes being able to twist, tilt left and right, shrink and expand, said Xiaoguang Wang, co-author of the study and an assistant professor in chemical and biomolecular engineering at The Ohio State University. "Liquid crystals are materials that have very unique characteristics and properties that other materials cannot normally achieve," said Wang. "They're fascinating to work with." This new polymer's ability to change shapes could make it useful for creating soft robots or artificial muscles, among other high-tech devices in medicine and other fields. Today, liquid crystals are most often used in TVs and cell phone displays, but these materials often degrade over time. But with the expansion of LEDs, many researchers are focused on developing new applications for liquid crystals. Unlike conventional materials that can only bend in one direction or require multiple components to create intricate shapes, this team's polymer is a single component that can twist in two directions. This property is tied to how the material is exposed to temperature changes to control the molecular phases of the polymer, said Wang. "Liquid crystals have orientational order, meaning they can self-align," he said. "When we heat the LCE, they transition into different phases causing a shift in their structure and properties." This means that molecules, tiny building blocks of matter, that were once fixed in place can be directed to rearrange in ways that allow for greater flexibility. This aspect may also make the material easier to manufacture, said Wang. The study was recently published in the journal Science . If scaled up, the polymer in this study could potentially advance several scientific fields and technologies, including controlled drug delivery systems, biosensor devices and as an aid in complex locomotion maneuvers for next-generation soft robots. One of the study's most important findings reveals the three phases that the material goes through as its temperature changes, said Alan Weible, co-author of the study and a graduate fellow in chemical and biomolecular engineering at Ohio State. Throughout these phases, molecules shift and self-assemble into different configurations. "These phases are one of the key factors we optimized to allow the material ambidirectional shape deformability," he said. In terms of size, the study further suggests that the material can be scaled up or down to adapt to nearly any need. "Our paper opens a new direction for people to start synthesizing other multiphase materials," said Wang. Researchers note that with future computational advances, their polymer could eventually be a useful tool for dealing with delicate situations, like those that require the precise design of artificial muscles and joints or upgrading soft nanorobots needed for complex surgeries. "In the next few years, we plan to develop new applications and hopefully break into the biomedical field," said Weible. "There's a lot more we can explore based on these results."

Gunmen Abduct Former Imo Commissioner, Fabian IhekwemeAnd single people are more likely to use mobility tools compared to those who are married, according to researchers from University College London (UCL) and the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine (LSHTM). Researchers looked at information from a group of more than 12,000 adults in England aged 50 to 89 who were tracked over a 13-year period. At the start of the study, 8,225 adults had no mobility difficulty and did not use mobility assistive products (MAPs). Some 2,480 were deemed to have “unmet need” and 1,375 were using mobility aids. During the follow-up period, there were 2,313 “transitions” where people went from having no mobility issues to needing some help with getting around. And 1,274 people started to use mobility aids. Compared with men, women were 49% more likely to transition from not needing mobility aids to needing to use them, according to the study which has been published in The Lancet Public Health. But were 21% less likely to go on to use mobility aids when they needed them. The authors said their study showed “barriers to access” for women. For both men and women, with every year that passed during the study period the need for mobility aids increased. People who were older, less educated, less wealthy or reported being disabled were more likely to “transition from no need to unmet need, and from unmet need to use”, the authors said, with this indicating a “higher prevalence of mobility limitations and MAP need overall among these groups”. They added: “Finally, marital or partnership status was not associated with transitioning to unmet need; however, single people were more likely to transition from unmet need to use compared with married or partnered people.” Jamie Danemayer, first author of the study from UCL Computer Science and UCL’s Global Disability Innovation Hub, said: “Our analysis suggests that there is a clear gender gap in access to mobility aids. “Though our data didn’t ascertain the reason why participants weren’t using mobility aids, other research tells us that women are often more likely than men to face obstacles such as cost barriers as a result of well-documented income disparities between genders. “Many mobility aids are designed for men rather than women, which we think may be a factor. “Using mobility aids can also make a disability visible, which can impact the safety and stigma experienced by women, in particular. “There’s a critical need for further research to identify and break down the barriers preventing women from accessing mobility aids that would improve their quality of life.” Professor Cathy Holloway, also from UCL, added: “Not having access to mobility aids when a person needs one can have a big impact on their independence, well-being and quality of life. “Our analysis suggests that women, in particular, regardless of other factors such as education and employment status, are not getting the support that they need.” Professor Shereen Hussein, senior author of the study and lead of the social care group at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, said: “The research provides compelling evidence of gender disparities in accessing assistive technology, suggesting that cost, design bias, and social stigma are likely to disproportionally affect women. “This underscores the need for inclusive, gender-sensitive approaches in the design, production and inclusivity of assistive technologies.”Though inflation is slowing down nationally, Marylanders could expect higher Christmas tree prices than 2023, as macroeconomic and environmental stressors to the tree supply chain may be baked into the cheer this year.
Stock market today: Wall Street gains ground as it notches a winning week and another Dow record
The rise of renewable energy – paired with smart technology – offers an extraordinary opportunity to empower communities, enhance sustainability and reduce costs, writes Paul Budde . BACK IN 2006, I established the Smart Grid Australia Association . Here, we brought together organisations involved in the development of smart energy, working collaboratively to build smarter communities. Our major success was the government’s decision in 2010 to launch a $100 million Smart City Smart Grid pilot in the Newcastle area. Unfortunately, this initiative was immediately cancelled when the Coalition Government came to power in 2013. For the next ten years, energy policies remained in limbo under that government. On the positive side, the pilot propelled Newcastle to become one of the leading smart cities in Australia. But as is often the case - for such smart grid smart city projects on a larger scale - many more ducks need to be aligned to establish real, large-scale commercial projects. With the latest developments in smart grids, smart meters, and batteries, we are now getting closer to realising the benefits of such complex systems. As someone who has written extensively about the transformative power of smart grids and localised energy systems, I believe we are standing at a pivotal moment in energy innovation. The rise of renewable energy – paired with smart technology – offers an extraordinary opportunity to empower communities, enhance sustainability and reduce costs. However, as I’ve observed in both Australia and internationally, achieving this vision requires not only technological solutions but also robust regulatory frameworks to protect consumers and foster fair competition. I was triggered to revisit these issues after reading this recent ABC article . The Netherlands: Europe’s digital powerhouse The Netherlands has become a global juggernaut in terms of broadband, AI and cybersecurity. A Smarter, Cleaner Future Smart grids have the potential to revolutionise how we produce, store, and consume electricity. These systems enable real-time communication between utilities and consumers — optimising energy distribution and reducing waste. Neighbourhood energy systems take this concept further by allowing communities to manage energy collectively, leveraging shared infrastructure — such as community batteries. I’ve highlighted examples in the past, such as Australia’s Hornsdale Power Reserve (2017), which shows how large-scale battery storage can stabilise the grid and support renewable energy integration. But even more exciting is the potential for neighbourhood-level systems where shared batteries or virtual power plants could provide resilience and cost savings. Imagine a street or suburb pooling solar energy and storage to weather peak demand or blackouts — a vision that is becoming increasingly achievable. Learning from International examples Over the years, I’ve also drawn attention to international models that inspire us to think bigger. In 2016, I wrote about blockchain opportunities , a prime example here is the Kitakyushu Smart Community project in Japan. This initiative integrates renewable energy, storage, and demand-response systems to create a sustainable urban energy model. Similarly, the Brooklyn Microgrid Project in the United States demonstrates the power of decentralisation, where residents generate, store, and trade energy locally using blockchain technology. These examples prove that the localised energy systems we advocated for more than a decade ago here in Australia are not only viable but also scalable. Newcastle: Leading the way for Australian smart cities Newcastle's transformation into one of Australia's leading smart cities should be an inspiration for others to follow suit. Challenges and the need for regulation Thanks to party politics, Australia suffers from a knowledge and experience gap of more than a decade — and we must catch up to avoid repeating the mistakes highlighted in the ABC article. While the potential is immense, I’ve often warned that regulatory gaps could undermine these advancements. The control of energy data by metering companies – as seen in Australia – creates monopolistic "walled gardens", restricting access to critical information and stifling competition. Consumers are left unable to fully leverage their energy systems — and third-party innovators are shut out. Smart energy can deliver lower costs, but we need to ensure those benefits flow to the consumers. This is why I strongly advocate for transparent regulations that prioritise consumer rights to data access. Without these safeguards, the energy transition risks becoming more expensive and less equitable. I’ve seen how these challenges play out globally, and it’s clear that without intervention, the benefits of smart grids and localised systems could remain out of reach for many. The role of ISP-like resellers in energy innovation In my earlier work, I’ve drawn parallels between energy systems and the internet. Just as internet service providers (ISPs) aggregate bandwidth to serve multiple customers, energy resellers could combine distributed energy resources like solar panels and batteries to create neighbourhood-scale virtual power plants. This model could stabilise local grids, reduce reliance on centralised power plants, and democratise access to renewable energy benefits. I’ve long argued that this ISP-like approach can lower barriers for communities that lack resources for individual systems. By coordinating energy generation and consumption at the local level, such systems could unlock significant savings while enhancing grid reliability. Unlocking the path toward a sustainable energy future Grid flexibility measures and distributed energy resources are key elements for creating a more sustainable and reliable energy system. My Vision for the Future Reflecting on the lessons from Australia and international examples, I firmly believe that we can pick up where we left off in 2013 and accelerate progress based on new knowledge and global developments. We can and should build a smarter, cleaner, and more equitable energy future. Policymakers must step up to address the regulatory void in smart meter markets and ensure fair access to energy data. This is not just about technology — it’s about empowering individuals and communities to take control of their energy destiny. The success of projects like Kitakyushu and Brooklyn shows us what is possible when innovation meets thoughtful regulation. I believe we can apply these principles to create resilient neighbourhood energy systems that not only reduce costs but also enhance sustainability. By embracing these ideas, we can ensure that the energy transition benefits everyone, not just a select few. This is the future I’ve envisioned and championed throughout my work, and I remain committed to seeing it realised.

BUSINESS CONSUMERS TECHNOLOGY SMART GRID smart meters renewable energy technology batteries large scale battery Paul Budde Hornsdale Power Reserve Kitakyushu Smart Community Brooklyn Microgrid Project Share ArticleNoneCOLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State athletic director Ross Bjork said Thursday that he is "absolutely" confident that Ryan Day will be back as football coach in 2025. Calls to fire the sixth-year coach rose among Ohio State fans after the Buckeyes lost to Michigan for the fourth straight year. Bjork, in an interview on 97.1 The Fan, said Day is the man for the job, regardless of how the Buckeyes perform in the College Football Playoff. They host Tennessee in a first-round game Dec. 21. "Coach Day is awesome," said Bjork, who came from Texas A&M to replace the retiring Gene Smith last summer. "He's great to work with. He totally gets it. He loves being a Buckeye. So, we're going to support him at the highest level." The 13-10 loss to Michigan followed by an ugly melee between the teams put the coach in a precarious spot. He and his team were booed off the field by the home fans. Bjork ended up releasing a statement expressing his support for the coach. "The reason we had to say something after (the Michigan) game is, we're still breathing, we're still alive," Bjork said. "The season's not over. The book is not closed." Thanks to the playoff, Day has a chance to redeem himself with Ohio State's huge fanbase with a win against the Volunteers — and perhaps more in the 12-team tournament. Regardless of what happens, Day will be back next year, according to Bjork. "Coach Day and I just hit it off so well," Bjork said. "I've been really, really impressed. Every single time I talked to him, I learn something. He's innovative. He recruits at the highest level. He's got a great staff." Day wouldn't directly address his job status last weekend. "When you first come off those types of things, there's a lot of emotion," he said, referring to the Michigan loss. "And then as time goes on, you've got to get refocused because you know what you've done in the past does not affect what's going on moving forward. Everything is out in front of us." Failing to consistently beat Michigan is one of the few flaws in Day's coaching record. Hired as a member of coach Urban Meyer's staff in 2017, Day was the hand-picked successor when Meyer retired after the 2018 season. Compiling an overall 66-10 record, he is widely admired in the coaching community. "Great respect for what he's done in his coaching career, what he's done there at Ohio State and the success that they've had year-in and year-out," Tennessee coach Josh Heupel said. Day is in trouble now because losing The Game is considered an unforgiveable sin by Buckeyes fans. "What we have to do is this whole 'championship or bust' mentality, you want that as the goal, but it has to be about the process," Bjork said. "To me, we've got to maybe change some conversations a little bit. I think we need to maybe just approach things a little bit differently." Get local news delivered to your inbox!
Are real Christmas trees more expensive this year in Maryland? It depends
(TNS) — The University of Michigan seeks a combined $190 million from the state for a pair of projects spanning the Ann Arbor and Dearborn campuses. The university submitted the two requests in October through the state of Michigan’s capital outlay process, which offers funds for development projects at state agencies like public universities. Any requests made have to be approved by the state Legislature and Gov. Gretchen Whitmer before moving forward. The university’s Board of Regents will likely approve the funding requests during its Thursday, Dec. 5 meeting in Ann Arbor. The state funding would come from the fiscal year 2026 budget. The Ann Arbor campus is seeking $150 million for funding the expansion and renovations to its School of Public Health located near the medical campus, The Dearborn campus is requesting $40 million to renovate its computer and information science building to update infrastructure, as well as building a small addition to aid the program, documents show. While the Flint campus did not submit a funding request for the 2026 fiscal year, it saw its $30-million request last year get approved to support the college of innovation and technology’s new project. “Over the years, the State of Michigan has made significant and strategic investments in all three University of Michigan campuses through its capital outlay program,” wrote Geoffrey Chatas, the university’s chief financial officer, in the action item for the regents meeting. “This support has been crucial to our efforts in providing an exemplary learning, teaching, and research environment, and we ook forward to future opportunities to partner with the State of Michigan.” The regents meeting is 3:30 p.m., Dec. 5 at the Ruthven Administration Building on the Ann Arbor campus.
