Introduction

Green building is the practice of escalating on how efficiently buildings use energy, water, and other resources, and reducing their waste and impact on human health and the environment. Furthermore, green building is also fueling interest in green technology and a greater emphasis on recycling and reducing waste. Leveraging on effective green water & waste management and technology will minimise energy and water usage, and reduces environmental concerns.

According to a study by the EPA, commercial buildings account for 18% of the total energy consumption in the U.S. An estimated 30% percent of this energy is used inefficiently. Commercial buildings also generate an astounding quantity of waste and other byproducts that causing impairment to the environment. These buildings are at the forefront of green building because they present opportunities for improvement.

Water treatment programs and waste reducing system are often overlooked in the green building equation. 85% of industry experts reported that water efficiency will be an ‘extremely important’ aspect of a green building by 2013. This 2nd Annual GreenTech Asia reviews how effective water and waste management help to achieve key green building objectives and introduces innovative green technology in line with the aim to reduce cost and energy consumption.

Conference Focus

This 2nd Annual Regional Conference will be addressing significant issues of GREEN Building:

• Green building standard, rating and policy across the region for commercial & industrial buildings
• Holistic view of green building design
• Efficient building management
• Increasing energy efficiency
• Reducing cost & energy consumption

Background

China’ first quarter 2011 achieved 11.9% year on year GDP growth rate, which is the highest growth rate of any major economy. While experiencing rapid economic growth, China faces mounting trash crisis. The country’s total waste output has reached 180 million tons last year, expanding as fast as its economy, at about 8 to 10 percent a year. According to China Association of Environmental Protection Industry，the municipal solid waste (MSW) output in China will reach 179 million tons and 210 million tons in 2015 and 2020 respectively.

The large amount of the municipal solid waste has caused serious environmental pollution and disaster. The Chinese government is gearing up funding for environmental protection. It is expected that government funding for environmental protection will reach 3.1 trillion yuan during the 12th Five-Year Plan (2011-15), for solid waste disposal industry will reach 800 billion yuan, base on the statistics of the National Development and Reform Commission. Domestic solid waste management sector is likely to see a business boom fueled by more government funding and favorable policies and its rapid growth is expected to continue over 10 years.

At present due to inadequate waste management, financial constrains, absence of appropriate technology, lack of people’s awareness, motivation and participation, ineffective legislation and law enforcement, China municipal solid waste (MSW) remains unmanageable and becomes one of striking environmental and social issues.

To solve this striking issue B-IN Consulting organized the China Municipal Solid Waste Summit 2011 with the theme of Safe and Sustainable Management. The summit will gather 150+ China top governmental officials, professionals and senior executive officers from world’s leading organizations and companies together to share innovative industry know-how and discuss the management of solid waste disposal for China. China Municipal Solid Waste Summit 2011 will provide you a distinct platform to network with global waste management fraternities and cash in China billion dollar solid waste market.

Introduction

Global data center capacity is growing rapidly. Demand for data center is expected to grow at 10% CAGR over the next decade, as businesses automate more processes, perform more complex analytics, store more granular customer data and employ rich media. Capacity demand in emerging markets like China will rise especially quickly, as institutions there become larger and more sophisticated. Due to large energy consumption, data center has large and growing carbon footprint. Data centers now drive more in carbon emission than both Argentina and the Netherlands. It is noted that while data centres in Asia are not as old as those in the U.S., there is increasing pressure on operators to restructure the facilities in the region.

Conference Focus

The Green Data Center Conference is looking forward to deliver an extensive programme that assembles many of the critical technical, operational, and commercial topics that confront day-to-day management of data center. Hence, it is hoped to provide opportunity and an exclusive platform to bring together world class top C-level, D-level executives and policy makers from data center solutions providers, global corporations, government bodies and government linked industries worldwide.

Part of the highlighted issues are:
• Advancing in-depth knowledge of current trend and major challenges – forming strategies inreducing operation cost
• Managing explosive growth within the region
• Forming effective strategies in addressing global pressures to reduce carbon emissions
• Understanding server density and power consumption
• Acquiring comprehensive information to effective approaches in revolutionising energy efficiency
• Obtaining latest updates on legal and regulatory issues for the data center
• Leveraging on Green IT technology: current and future technologies
• Gaining confidence from best practices and successful stories to face current trend and challenges
• Discovering latest initiative: Cloud Computing
• Unraveling the shift of paradigms in the realm of investment on green data center for business
• Addressing the setback in engaging experts / highly skilled employees – urgent need to reduce outsourcing
• Discussing possible collaborations among nations in Asia Pacific in promoting encouraging global market penetration via e-commerce
