Where are Green Buildings? Along with transportation, the most obvious (to the lay listener) attribute of Net Zero Cities are buildings themselves. In this episode, we introduce listeners to the notion of innovation in a building’s “software” (IoT, etc) as being a key element of Net Zero Cities. Subjects in relation to macro trends like the move to less labour-intensive Industry 4.0 economies, the changing dynamics of city centres and how digitalization can form the core of smart and sustainable cities are explored.

As Southeast Asia becomes more wealthy, climate control becomes an aspiration for millions of people entering the middle class. Most of us will likely consider cooling to be simply a problem of more efficient HVAC units, or turning up the temperature by a degree or two. In this episode, we explore how District Cooling can provide a sustainable and efficient alternative at scale.

In this episode, Amandeep Bedi, APAC Director of Sustainable Solutions at ENGIE Impact, and host Matt Rickard explore the implications of a Net Zero City. Amid Southeast Asia's rapid urbanization, building more sustainable cities must be balanced with economic growth and the quality of life of a growing middle class. Technology will play a key enabling role in our transition to the cities of tomorrow.
