Welcome to SPBTSA 2017 The RMIT research aims to enhance the adoption of this technology in buildings and urban precincts through technology improvement, building environment simulation, energy demand modeling, scenario-based cost benefit assessment, and social-technical context analysis. Two aims of this forum: (1) To demonstrate domestic and international research and industry outcomes in the relevant areas; and (2) To enhance communications between academics and the industry. Organizations Organised by: RMIT Enabling Capability Platforms, RMIT School of Property, Construction and Project Management, RMIT School of Science Supported by: Australian Solar Council Speakers Dr. Zhengrong Shi - Founder of Energus Dr. Shi is a world-renowned solar scientist, a fellow of Australia Academy of Technological Science and Engineering and an entrepreneur. With a career spanning more than 25 years Dr Shi is the inventor of 18 patents in photovoltaic technologies, and has published and/or presented more than 90 articles and papers in PV-related scientific magazines and at conferences. Dr Shi led the growth of the global solar Industry. He is the founder of Energus, developing revolutionary solar products and turning buildings into renewable energy plants. He is also the Founder of Suntech Power, one of the world’s largest producer of solar panels. Mr. Steve Blume - President, Australian Solar Council & President, Australian Energy Storage Council Steve is a former political adviser, private & public sector senior executive, and policy creator. Steve works pro bono on advocacy and policy for those not-for-profit peak bodies. Steve is available for short term engagements on smart energy, solar & energy storage and grid transformation pathways to fully distributed energy networks. In his leadership roles with national and international peak bodies Steve works to amplify the voice of the smart energy, energy storage and solar industries offering solutions for a 100% clean energy future for Australia and the world. Prof. Min Gu - Distinguished Professor in Optoelectronics, Associate Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research Innovation and Entrepreneurship at RMIT University Min was the Foundation Director of the Victoria-Suntech Advanced Solar Facility from 2010 to 2015. He was a Laureate Fellow of the Australian Research Council, a University Distinguished Professor in optoelectronics and Foundation Director of the Centre of Micro-Photonics at Swinburne University of Technology. He has over 800 publications (over 450 papers in internationally refereed journals including Nature and Science) in nanophotonics. His innovations in greenphotonic data storage and nanoplasmoic solar cells were awarded the Victoria Prize (2016). Dr. Rebecca Yang - Senior Lecturer in Building and Construction, RMIT University Rebecca is a scholar of building, construction and social practice who undertakes pure and applied research that can provide innovative solutions to the sustainable development by integrating theories with cutting-edge technologies. She is the founder of the SPBTSA research group. Her current research focuses on ‘Trans urban system models for integrated renewable energy design and management’ and ‘Urban scale simulations of energy demand and smart renewable energy supply’. The key research aim is to deliver a building integrated smart renewable energy system on the urban scale with advanced modelling and scenario-based simulation methods. Mr. Chris Buntine - Built Environment, ESD Leader VIC, Aurecon Chris is an ESD Leader with Aurecon and has worked extensively on the design of sustainable buildings and precincts in the United States and Australia. His focus is developing holistic solutions for the built environment that enhance sustainability, social equity and economic viability. Recent projects have included Margaret Court Arena, Melbourne Conservatorium of Music, Monash Technology and Education Building and the Australian Embassy in Washington. Dr. Niraj Lal - Renewable Energy Business Development Officer, Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning, Victorian Government Dr. Niraj (Nij) Lal is a Renewable Energy Business Development Officer for the Victorian Government. He's also a presenter of ABC SCIENCEY, Physics Consultant to the ARC Centre of Excellence for Exciton Science, Visiting Fellow at the Centre for Sustainable Energy Systems at the Australian National University, CEO and founder of TheKnews.org, and Director of First Principles Consulting. His interests are in renewable energy, nanophotonics for high-efficiency solar cells, and science communication.
