Buildings constitute a major component of end-use energy. Next generation technologies embedded in “smart” buildings will remain key to a low carbon energy future. This is a ‘meet-up’ of academic, industry & government experts who have come together to share insights & new ideas for our energy future.

Panel presentations, posters & discussions will focus on:

- The Business of Future Low-Carbon Buildings

The motivation of this event is to decrease taboo around discussing periods and start conversations. We are using free brownies as a way to bring people together to have these discussions. The use of the shark concept is the comparison of how menstrual cramps can feel like a shark is attacking your uterus; the shark bite is simple imagery that all genders can use to identify, imagine and empathize.
