Mitigating these effects necessitates a two-fold approach: reducing energy consumption through enhanced efficiency and behavioral modifications, and concurrently transitioning to renewable and clean energy sources. Of particular concern is the domestic and commercial building sector, which currently accounts for a substantial 40% of the world's total energy usage. Conventional wind turbines, effective in harnessing wind energy, face limitations in urban areas due to the requisite wind speeds. Micro wind turbines, notably Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWT), present a promising solution for achieving net-zero energy buildings in urban settings. VAWTs exhibit advantages such as higher efficiency and lower cut-in speeds. Despite their promise, challenges like reliability, cost, and environmental impact persist. This concise overview suggests potential applications for Pakistan, emphasizing the imperative for further exploration in optimizing VAWT design, developing hybrid systems, and evaluating societal acceptance of rooftop wind farms.","PeriodicalId":515340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Energy","volume":"7 7","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141385443","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Preparing England's further education system for zero-carbon construction skills","authors":"Gavin Killip, James Robson","doi":"10.1680/jener.23.00051","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1680/jener.23.00051","url":null,"abstract":"Skills issues for craft trades in building decarbonisation often focus on improving technical knowledge, but known problems of quality assurance in construction also include ‘soft’ employability skills, and the application of sustainability values in practice. New course content is a necessary but not sufficient component of changing practice. The real demand for skills and actual use of skills in the workplace are just as important as new skills supply. A deliberative workshop with 40 expert stakeholders investigated the preparedness of the education and training system for zero-carbon construction skills. Several challenges emerge from this research. The market context for jobs and skills training shows how the over-narrow focus on new courses leads to waste and failures. Policy has an important role to play in developing minimum vocational standards through licensing, allied to consistent, long-term industrial strategy. The low prestige of further education and vocational training hinders real skills development and recruitment and retention of the workforce. Colleges operate with limited resources and competing priorities, creating real constraints on important activities like teacher training. Short courses and continuing professional development have no common standards or link with initial education and training, leading to piecemeal learning of unknown quality.","PeriodicalId":515340,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Energy","volume":"47 26","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-04-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140676261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
