The two sides of the same coin Main efforts securing the supply side, e.g. Germany “Energiewende”, energy outlooks Little efforts demand side! except perhaps reduction of CO2 emission
SLIDE 4
.....a common yardstick for demand CO2: difficult to understand Energy: e.g. Watt GDP/energy: fair but difficult to reduce to a per person unit
SLIDE 5 A few basics on energy and power
2000 Watt per person correspond to:
- 1 kWh every half hour or 17‘520 kWh per year
- consumption of 1‘700 liter of oil (gasoline) per year
- 100 continuously lit 20 Watt bulbs
Conversion to CO2
- Approx. 500 Watt exclusively from oil corresponds
to 1 ton of CO2 per year

- Show me……
- Change aversion
- Aversion against new regulations
- Indifference
- Yes, but…
- etc.
- Opposition of the fossil and nuclear
energy providers
- Fear of economic regression
- Worry about loss of freedom
- Political inertness
- Not understanding the concept, etc.

Overcoming political inertness
On November 30, 2008, the citizens of the city of Zurich adopted in a plebiscite with a 76 percent majority the concept of the 2000 Watt Society as guideline for the city’s planning and future development.
SLIDE 17 76% of the people on Zurich’s electoral roll voted to:
development
- Reduce its energy consumption to
2000 watts per person per year
- Reduce its annual CO2 emissions
to one-ton per person by 2050
- Promote renewable energy and
energy efficiency
- Not renew its investments in
nuclear power plants So far, Zurich has achieved:
- Reduction of primary energy consumption by
1300 watts per person per year since 1990
- Currently 3900 watts per person
- Since 2015, if not chosen otherwise,
electricity 100% renewable sources
- In the transport sector, the energy demand
decreased by 13% since 1990
- Reduction of the annual greenhouse gas
emissions by 1.5 tons per person since 1990
- Distinct reduction of energy consumption and
greenhouse gas emissions in the building sector
- Since 1990, the share of renewable energy
sources more than doubled from 11% to now 25%
The Zurich case
Intep, 2018
SLIDE 18 Implementation: Switzerland
- Cities are the leaders, like Zurich, Basel, Geneva
- Guidelines on national level, incl. building codes
International
- Primarily cities in Austria, France and Germany
- EU: adapting some guidelines, e.g. net zero house standards, emission
reduction in mobility, etc.
- North America: Green Building Council (LEED), BioHouse Minnesota
zero net energy. Universities
- International Sustainable Campus Network
- EcoCampuses in many Universities in the US and elsewhere
What has been achieved?

SLIDE 22 Australian Capital Territory Canberra took the leadership to construct a leading-edge efficient and sustainable building-block in Australia. Based
- n the 2000-Watt Society the capital plans creating a new landmark
neighbourhood for more than 5000 inhabitants plus workplaces. This in a joint venture with the City of Zurich and Swiss specialists.
The City of Vancouver, in collaboration with the University of British Columbia and the Provincial Government, used the 2000-Watt Society target to establish a clear energy-framework for the city’s mid- and high-rise housing projects. For that it established its own energy code for buildings. On the pathway to becoming a 2000-Watt Society, Munich has established goals for 2050 similar to Zurich.

Minneapolis is planning to achieve as First in the USA the goals of the 2000-Watt Society.
Different stages of building and planning
For the Olympics in Paris 2024 it is planned to follow closely the experiences of other 2000 Watt sites. Paris-Saclay building stage: 430,000 inhabitants; 265,000 jobs; 65,000 students & 15,000 researchers

SLIDE 25 ….and NTU?
Achievements triggered through EcoCampus initiative:
- 5MWp Rooftop Solar PV Implementation (meets 5%
- f campus energy needs)
- Reducing energy per m2 by 35%, compared to 2011
- Over 95% of the buildings are green mark platinum
- Awards in 2019: seven Zero Energy Buildings (ZEB),
- ne Super Energy Building (SLEB)
Vision:
- 10MWp PV
- To reach 500 Watt per person, actually ≈ 750 Watt
- Net zero emission, zero water & waste campus
- Iconic, most sustainable building, transportation, and
resource use Campus Future
SLIDE 26 “I like the energy target clarity in the 2000 Watt society too – I agree strongly we always encourage
- ur client to set a measurable target for their
buildings”. Richard Kirk, architect of THE ARCH, March 2018
