  1. A Greener Parliament Paula Claudino Diana Ioan Stephen McMurtry Nasim Mehrtash

  2. Outline Outline • Proposal • Reading: Rejecting Renewables • Reading: Distributed Generation • Technology Options • Reading: A Micro-generation Strategy for Canada

  3. The Proposal That renewable micro-generation technologies be evaluated for installation on Parliament Hill

  4. Rejecting Renewables – the socio-technical impediments to implementation in the US • Why haven’t renewables been more successful, even where they are cost-competitive? • Do you believe that Canadians stigmatize renewables in the same way that Americans do? • Why does the US lag behind Europe and other industrialized countries?

  5. Distributed Generation • Why is distributed/micro-generation gaining momentum? • What would happen if micro-generation becomes more popular in Canada? • Is this really a feasible alternative to central generation?

  6. Selected Micro-generation • Solar Thermal • Flat • Evacuated • Solar PV • Solar Thermal • Flat • Evacuated • Solar PV

  7. Selected Micro-generation • Micro Wind turbine + The Seasonal Thermal Storage (possibly combined with Heat pump)

  8. Technology Energy Potential • Solar map • Wind map

  9. Technology Discussion: What are the criteria for choosing right technology?

  10. Technology Discussion: What are the criteria for choosing right technology? Location Energy needs Scale Cost

  11. Technology Discussion: Which technology should be chosen?

  12. Technology Discussion: • Which technology should be chosen? • Solar Thermal? • Solar PV? • Micro Wind? • Or Combination of three?

  13. Technology Discussion: What are the drawbacks/concerns of integrating a renewable generation technology into the parliament buildings?

  14. Technology Discussion: What are the drawbacks/concerns of integrating a renewable generation technology into the parliament buildings? • Protecting Fabric and Character of the building • Design and sitting • Cumulative visual impact • Structural impact • Building interiors • Cost

  15. A Micro-generation Strategy for Canada • How will this be funded? • How would this proposal be perceived by the public? • Should a public-private partnership be considered in this case?
