What On Earth - Episode 26: The emergence of pragmatic optimism in the Hydrogen Industry

We sat down with Rob Murchison from Intelligent Buildings & Craig Stevenson from Auros Group for a free-ranging discussion about the power of Retrofit and Existing Buildings! 

Rob & Craig shared their advice about how & where building owners should start with retrofit projects. We also discussed how realistic Net Zero is for Older buildings and whether the Commercial Real Estate industry will reach their Net Zero Carbon targets by 2050.

#23 The Power Of Existing Buildings!

A new research project is putting ‘virtual energy networks’ for households and businesses to the test. Virtual energy networks (VENs) allow consumers to buy solar energy directly from their neighbours, or sell excess rooftop solar to someone across town, or even interstate, all through an online platform. VENs are already used by some councils, schools and businesses with multiple sites, for instance to share solar generated on a community centre with an office or depots. But most energy retailers haven’t extended this system to households. Dr Andrea La Nauze, an Associate Professor of Economics at Deakin University, is leading a study to look at how the use of VENs can be extended, and is now recruiting participants for the trial.

If you’d like to take part in the virtual energy network study, you can email the team at ven@deakin.edu.au or just search “Deakin Virtual Energy Network” in your browser.
