Rather than a passive response to climate change with a big loss of economy, we proposed a more proactive whole process management, consisting of planning, construction, and emergency management.

While first-cost typically governs single building development, entire new districts are able to reach net-zero or near-zero energy/emissions status through technology integration and design across multiple systems on a site. With project examples from China, India, and the United States, this presentation explored the technologies for efficiency, district energy systems, and ownership models that enable breakthrough energy performance.

Cities and industry play a pivotal role in driving a comprehensive energy transformation within Asian economies. The session unpacked the energy transformation outside of the power sector, shared case studies from low-carbon cities in China and new business models that promote the energy transformation of manufacturing in India.

This presentation discussed a framework for mainstreaming health impact assessment and healthy and age-friendly city action and management planning for cities, projects, and master plans.
