Training: Energy Efficiency using RETScreen

5th April 2010
8.00am – 4.30pm
AIT Conference Center
Asian Institute of Technology

The Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand, in co-operation with RETScreen International, Natural Resources Canada will conduct training on “Energy Efficiency using RETScreen”. The focus will be on industrial and residential sector analysis.

The training will focus on using RETScreen to carry out energy efficiency project analysis, estimate the savings and to conduct greenhouse gas emission analysis. This will be through examples and hands on analysis by the participants. The training will be useful for whose who would like to learn how to use RETScreen to assess the viability of energy efficiency measures for residences and industrial facilities.

All those interested to attend the training are invited to submit the completed registration form.

Who should attend?: The training will be useful to project developers, engineers, designers, financial institutions, consultants, university lecturers and students.

Participants are strongly urged to bring their computers (laptops) for the training (with the downloaded RETScreen version 4.0 at www.retscreen.net ).

WHAT: International Symposium on Geotechnical Engineering, Ground Improvement, and Geosynthetics for Sustainable Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change including Global Warming

WHEN: 3-4 December 2009

WHERE: Bangkok, Thailand

The Asian Center for Soil Improvement and Geosynthetics (ACSIG), Southeast Asian Geotechnical Society (SEAGS), and International Geosynthetics Society – Thailand (IGS-Thailand) are inviting all interested grandees to the International Symposium on Geotechnical Engineering, Ground Improvement, and Geosynthetics for Sustainable Mitigation and Adaptation to Climate Change including Global Warming from 3 to 4 December 2009 in Bangkok, Thailand.

The conference will incorporate a wide range of topics coupled with recent technological advancements in general and those particularly in the areas of Geotechnical Engineering, Ground Improvement together with Geosynthetic Engineering which are contributing greatly in undertaking scientific and systematic methodologies for assessing the risk associated with natural hazards of all kinds as well as the associated sustainable mitigation and adaptation strategies.

• Geosynthetics for Climate Change due to Global Warming
• Geosynthetics for Coastal and Riverbank Erosions
• Geosynthetics for Sustainable Infrastructures including Limited Life Geosynthetics
• Geosynthetics for Human Security
• Geosynthetics for Water Conservation
• Geosynthetic for Food and Agriculture
• Landslides and Debris Flows due to Rainfall during Storms and Typhoons
• Mechanics of Rain-Triggered Landslides and Debris Flows
• Early Warning System for Landslides and Debris Flows
• Risk Assessment of Rain-Triggered Landslides and Debris Flows
• Case Studies of Coastal Erosion and Mitigation
• Case Histories of Riverbank Erosion and Mitigation

Interested participants are requested to submit their abstracts not later than 31 May 2009. Kindly indicate if you will deliver technical, special, or keynote lecture. For details, please see link.

Important Dates:
Deadline of Abstract Submission: 31 May 2009
