iPolytek – How Sustainable is PV Solar Power? An Intro to Life Cycle Analysis and Planetary Boundaries – Online Course
2023-09-07 08:00 - 17:00 | Online
If you search “solar photovoltaic sustainability” on the internet, you will find a multitude of articles hailing the technology as green, clean and ready to spearhead our world into a sustainable future. However, you will also come across articles that are much more critical of the technology. This begs the question, “How does one go about accessing the environmental impacts of a technology in a systematic, objective way?” We answer this question using PV solar power as a case study.
In this course, we study an LCA (Life Cycle Assessment) of solar photovoltaic power and learn of its impacts on human health, freshwater, climate change, ecosystems and land use. We compare the environmental performance of solar PV to other renewable and non-renewable electricity generation technologies. Finally, we take an in-depth look at a scientific article in which researchers show how countries can determine their optimal energy mix given their available resources and environmental objectives.

Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium - Introducing The Design Value Explorer – Integrating Future Climate Data into The Built Environment
2023-06-08 10:30 - 12:00 | Online
Calling all building sector professionals! We are pleased to invite you to an interactive climate change training session on PCIC’s newest web-based tool – the Design Value Explorer (DVE). The DVE is the result of a collaborative project between PCIC, Environment and Climate Change Canada, Infrastructure Canada, and the National Research Council of Canada.
The DVE provides revised climatic design data relevant to the National Building Code of Canada and the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code. The tool provides building professionals with historical and future-projected design values for all of Canada that incorporate projected changes in climate.
This session will be jointly delivered by PCIC, the Canadian Centre for Climate Services (CCCS), and Engineers and Geoscientists British Columbia. It will begin with the fundamentals of climate science and an explanation of key considerations for using the tool, leading to an in-depth demonstration of the tool itself.
We will examine the unique data and features of the tool that will aid building and infrastructure design professionals in the consideration of climate change risks and the incorporation of climate change into design and construction phases.
This session will include an interactive exercise to ensure attendees have a chance to use the tool, ask questions, and provide feedback. Feel free to explore the Design Value Explorer ahead of time, and come with your questions!
