00:00:270Michele De Carli: Do it okay
00:07:220Michele De Carli: Okay, so, welcome, as I was…
00:12:640Michele De Carli: Just mentioning in the beginning of this presentation… We are, going to…
00:24:500Michele De Carli: present the Laboratory of Urban Energy Planning. This is a result of a, let's say.
00:32:810Michele De Carli: work that is going to finish in a few weeks. It's a Rasmus project, which is called Coil Serenade, which has been funded by European Union.
00:45:610Michele De Carli: And we made this, we built up this course, together with the universities that you may find here, so the University of Dresden, the Tallinn University.
01:00:500Michele De Carli: and the West Ukrainian University, and the Polytechnique of Kyiv. So,
01:10:30Michele De Carli: This is the picture that you have seen also in Moodle, okay? So this is what we are expecting from you, okay? So this is a kind of overview of what we would like you to do. So, first of all, you will have to analyze
01:26:480Michele De Carli: a district, which is part of the city, as you may see here. I cannot… okay, here it is the pointer. Here, okay, and of course, you will work in a group.
01:41:230Michele De Carli: And you can see that you are going to do an urban energy planning, and we are expecting that you are learning by doing. So, while you're doing this project, you are learning at the same time.
01:56:280Michele De Carli: As I was mentioning, my… I will be assisted by Dr. Kashede, who is one of our PhD students.
02:06:300Michele De Carli: And, yes, let's have a look of…
02:10:590Michele De Carli: at what we are, going to do. So, first of all, this is an online, laboratory, which means that it is a virtual, collaborative learning, so called VCL, okay?
02:27:980Michele De Carli: is the acronym for this kind of, didactic activity. So it's virtual because, it's online, and we are going to use new communication channels, so you are going to work, in,
02:47:750Michele De Carli: In joint activity, virtually with, your colleagues, and with the colleagues which… who will be part of this laboratory.
02:57:160Michele De Carli: It is collaborative because we work, or you work in groups, and you can, you will benefit from the experience of each other, and learning because you will gain knowledge and experience.
03:14:880Michele De Carli: So, you are going to be split into several groups, together with the students of the other universities involved in the project, or let's say, in this laboratory, okay?
03:27:160Michele De Carli: So, at least the Polytechnic of Kiev University, and also the Tallinn University.
03:34:480Michele De Carli: This is… I want just to mention that this is the first time that… well, it's the second time, actually, but let's say, it's the first time that, as University of Padawa, the laboratory is providing three CTS, okay? Last year, we made
03:50:80Michele De Carli: the first test activity, and it was just an open page. But let's say from this year, we are, we are, able to provide you three ECTS.
04:03:340Michele De Carli: So, what we are going… you are going to do, we will be split into groups of…
04:09:520Michele De Carli: of students, and you will work okay online with your colleagues. You will have probably Italian, or let's say, people from other… from the University of Padova involved, but also people from,
04:25:70Michele De Carli: Or students from the University of the Polytechnic of Kiev.
04:30:340Michele De Carli: So, of course, we… you will have a high level of self-organization, and you will be responsible of your work, of the group work, and your results, okay?
04:45:90Michele De Carli: And you will have to, let's say, also, organize yourself in the groups, or into the groups, in order to have a kind of organization in your group.
05:02:460Michele De Carli: Okay, as I was mentioning before, the recording was starting, this is not a common, let's say, course, as we usually do, or we… yes, we give here in Padova.
05:21:730Michele De Carli: Okay, so it means that it is the three ECTS course, but it's not supposed that we are
05:26:930Michele De Carli: during 2 hours every week of front, let's say, our teaching. So, basically, you are going to work in an overall period of about 7 weeks, where the central weeks will be
05:45:40Michele De Carli: particularly, let's say, important, okay? Not that the first week or the last week is not important, but
05:51:40Michele De Carli: the main effort will be given in the, let's say, central, let's say, six weeks. So, we are going to have a kickoff, so we… so today we are… I want just to introduce a little bit, and show you what we… what you are supposed to do, and how the work is organized, okay?
06:10:100Michele De Carli: But let's say that the activity will officially start on March 10th, and with the kickoff. So in the kickoff, we are going to have the first meeting together with the other students from the other universities.
06:26:360Michele De Carli: And in, in this session, we are going to, create the teams.
06:37:70Michele De Carli: And we are going to, let's say, explain a little bit what VCL is more in detail, and also what we expect from you.
06:49:320Michele De Carli: So it is, as one mentioning, it's not, it's not the typical, let's say, type of, let's say, course, or teaching activity, and so on. So you are supposed to work mainly on your own.
07:06:410Michele De Carli: So what we are going to give you is a kind of, let's say, materials or a kind of overview, some suggestions, and then you have to work on your own and develop your own project, what your own means.
07:19:760Michele De Carli: Your group project.
07:21:990Michele De Carli: So the first week will be, a nice break-in, and, and, and you have to organize yourself, your, your, your group, okay, in, with different roles.
07:38:660Michele De Carli: Then, in one week after, so in March 17, we are supposed to, provide you the… a background, okay, so there will be a kind of half an hour
07:53:280Michele De Carli: of presentation of GIS, so, how to manage the spatial data, okay, so it means how to manage data in, in an urban environment, so which
08:07:70Michele De Carli: How you can define the position of a building, the footprint of a building, and so on.
08:12:800Michele De Carli: And, of course, we are going in this, let's say, as you see, there is a line here which is representing the first period of activity and the second period of activity. In the first period of activity, we are going to provide you an
08:27:580Michele De Carli: district, okay?
08:33:929Michele De Carli: Where, in order that you train, okay, and you have one training activity, which is preliminary for the whole, activity, every week. So the first week in this, we are going to present to the, the district.
08:51:680Michele De Carli: And in this district, you are going to work on the geographical… just partial data, okay, and mapping, so GIS.
09:01:530Michele De Carli: Then, in the second… then on March 24, we have another meeting where we are going to… where you… there will be a kind of discussion.
09:14:640Michele De Carli: on, let's say, questions and answers, and also the experience that you made in the first week, okay? You're not requested to
09:25:170Michele De Carli: well, we don't think that you are requested to show anything, okay, but of course, you… meanwhile, you have to, let's say, I mean, work on the, on the geographical
09:39:570Michele De Carli: On the geographical, input of the, of the district.
09:46:540Michele De Carli: Then in, on week, on March 24, so one week later, we are going to provide you some backgrounds of the energy models, building energy models, and,
10:01:620Michele De Carli: We are going to provide you a tool in order to make the energy analysis of a building, in terms of current
10:13:200Michele De Carli: Our actual consumption of the building and potential, let's say, retrofit scenarios in order to have the building which is going to, let's say, consume less and produce more renewable on-site.
10:29:180Michele De Carli: Then, one week later, in March 31, we are going to give you some backgrounds on, at urban level, at district level, okay? And we are going to, explain a little bit what we expect from the urban scale modeling, so what you have learned in terms of
10:48:480Michele De Carli: Geographic, geospatial data, and the management of buildings in a district apply to a building energy model.
10:57:780Michele De Carli: Then this will, let's say, end up with an urban scale model, where you have to, let's say, provide for the urban… for the district that we are going to provide you, okay, the, actual,
11:15:680Michele De Carli: the actual… consumption, and your, let's say, scenarios of retrofit. So, you know, that this…
11:24:690Michele De Carli: This street is going to, consume less energy than…
11:29:990Michele De Carli: It is consuming now, and also to produce renewable energy on-site.
11:35:730Michele De Carli: At this time, in April 8th, okay, after this, let's say, 3 weeks of work, you have to also make a presentation. So, in that case, you are supposed to show what you have done in this, let's say, first, let's say, training district.
11:55:390Michele De Carli: And, and, and then…
11:59:300Michele De Carli: we are going to present your… the new district, okay, where you have to, let's say, again, based on the training activity that you had in the past weeks, you have to do on your own your, the, the, let's say, the GIS analysis, the building energy model strategy, and also the UBEM
12:22:770Michele De Carli: Scenarios in the following two weeks.
12:25:820Michele De Carli: And at the end, on April 21, you're supposed to deliver the results, and which will be presented in PowerPoint. So, at the end, you will have… we will have the kickoff meeting, we will have
12:43:390Michele De Carli: the one meeting for explaining you the GIS.
12:48:630Michele De Carli: One meeting,
12:52:570Michele De Carli: for explaining you, or to explain you, the building energy model, one meeting for the Uber scale modeling, and this will be, let's say, a question and answer meeting, and we are going to explain you the tools that you are going to…
13:08:690Michele De Carli: to work on, okay. And then, in the session 4, on April 8th, you will have to present your PowerPoint, and you're going to present the results on the 1st District.
13:23:10Michele De Carli: And then, based on the input that we are going to provide you on April 8th, then you have 2 weeks in order to provide your impact, okay, and to present your suggestion to
13:35:620Michele De Carli: present a low energy, or even a positive energy district in the new district that we are going to deliver you, or to present you on the 8th.
13:47:370Michele De Carli: So, April 21st, you are supposed to present the results, and then you have one week for a very, let's say.
13:57:760Michele De Carli: Summarized red boarded delivery.
14:00:750Michele De Carli: So that this is the effort that we expect. So, let's say that the course will start on March 10, and then on April 28th, the laboratory will, will, finish. So…
14:18:160Michele De Carli: Which are then the objectives of the course.
14:21:810Michele De Carli: Well, from the technical point of view, we want you to develop competencies in GIS for spatial data analysis.
14:32:180Michele De Carli: And also to apply building energy model technologies or techniques to assess building energy performance and to provide scenarios for your building.
14:42:970Michele De Carli: And then to use UBEM, so Urban Building Energy Model, for larger-scale energy consumption analysis. And, of course, we hope that you will benefit from the international collaboration and teamwork through…
14:58:410Michele De Carli: The virtual learning environment as we are going to work on.
15:03:420Michele De Carli: And also, we are going to provide you real-world data and tools, and you are going to provide, or to propose, energy-efficient solutions.
15:18:80Michele De Carli: Okay, so this is the presentation. If you have any questions, we are open for some questions.
15:33:410Michele De Carli: No questions?
15:43:590Michele De Carli: Okay, maybe what I can just mention is that we have already, okay, experienced this kind of work, okay, let's say two times. This is the format that we are going to promote in this course, okay, this laboratory.
16:02:190Michele De Carli: is, has been already done one year ago, okay? And, I mean, we have seen that the time for this, five weeks
16:17:00Michele De Carli: Effort is, easy enough for you to, to end up with your, with your suggestion of,
16:24:440Michele De Carli: On the retrofit of a turbine ladder.
16:31:430Michele De Carli: Also, we are going to see the tool, okay, about the tool. We are trying to see if we are going to provide you our, let's say.
16:46:10Michele De Carli: open pool, which is Eureka, okay? It's an open tool open for the simulation of urban environments, okay?
16:57:80Michele De Carli: Last year, we used a simplified approach, okay, based on Excel sheet calculation, but this year, it might be that we are able to provide you a more, let's say, advanced tool.
17:17:500Michele De Carli: Any question?
17:26:250Michele De Carli: Okay, so if there are no questions, okay, again.
17:30:200Michele De Carli: Just to summarize, okay, we are going to, meet then on the… 10th of March, okay.
17:42:440Michele De Carli: And, yeah, we are going to provide you also some additional information, okay?
17:49:180Michele De Carli: But, I mean, be ready on the 10th of March at 3, okay, so the starting time, it will be at 3 p.m, but anyway, I will, I will, advise you, okay, in Moodle, okay, to,
18:11:270Michele De Carli: So, to tell you which is the scheduled time for the first For the, for the kickoff.
18:21:200Michele De Carli: Okay?
18:22:740Michele De Carli: Good. If you have no questions, okay, then, I think it's…
18:29:670Michele De Carli: Fine enough. I think I told you, I mean, briefly, okay, what,
18:36:410Michele De Carli: is the main purpose of this work. I mean, it was in syllabus, so I think it was… Also…
18:43:160Michele De Carli: reasonable for you to have a kind of, let's say, to know a little bit how this laboratory works, but, yes, this is, let's say, all from my side.
18:59:490Michele De Carli: Okay, so, we keep in touch.
19:03:690Michele De Carli: And… okay, see you on the 10th of March.
19:11:20Michele De Carli: Thank you.
19:12:40Michele De Carli: Thank you, bye.
19:13:120FRANCESCO MASTROTTO: Thank you.
