The Atlantic Canada Climate Network and the Canadian Environmental Network (RCEN) are excited to present the Innovation Speaker Series, a dynamic platform that showcases cutting-edge emergent technologies and their potential to advance climate solutions and create new opportunities. Join us for an inspiring event as we highlight the remarkable work of UPEI.

Buildings are responsible for almost 40% of energy consumption, hence achieving energy-neutral status for the built environment can lead to a sustainable future. Considering the contemporary scenario, climate change concerns raised “challenge cum opportunity” for sustainable energy design. This not only involves the design of new systems, but it is equally important to optimize the performance of existing systems to meet the desired performance. The intricacies of designing and optimizing energy systems to confront the challenges of climate change are unveiled by our speaker. 

We welcome Dr. Kuljeet Grewal to explore the interconnected world of transdisciplinary collaboration, where a sustainable built environment is crafted by architects, engineers, and planners. The significance of energy-efficient building envelopes, energy resilience, and advanced optimization techniques for clean energy resource planning are uncovered. An immersive journey into the future of sustainable development is promised by this talk, aligning with Canadian and global sustainability goals.

Join us on March 13th at 1 PM AT as we welcome Dr. Kuljeet Singh Grewal, Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Sustainable Design Engineering and cross-appointed with the School of Climate Change and Adaptation, at the University of Prince Edward Island (UPEI). Currently, his transdisciplinary research focus is on sustainable neighbourhood and energy design that also involves the planning of clean energy resources. To date, Dr. Grewal published 33 top-notch peer-reviewed international journal articles, 14 international conference contributions, 2 international reports for IEA, and 1 book chapter.
