Smart Users for Energy and Societal Transition

By: Benoit Robyns,Claude Lenglet,Hervé Barry,Malik Bozzo-Rey

Climate change and the loss of biodiversity are now realities. Their causes and origins stem from the energy, goods and resources relied upon by the lifestyle of a growing part of humanity. Smart Users for Energy and Societal Transition presents this much needed transition, as well as the scenarios and paths essential to mitigating the impacts of climate change. It deals with transitions experimented in the form of ecosystems in universities, cities and territories, as well as with concepts of smart buildings, smart grids and smart cities, addressed to smart users – or not – in an interdisciplinary research context. Sociological issues related to the role of smart building users are discussed, ranging from acceptance to the appropriation of the technologies made available to them. The book highlights the ethics of this essential transition and the importance of individual behaviors in safeguarding humanity on a preserved planet.

Smart Grids and Buildings for Energy and Societal Transition

By: Benoît Robyns,Laure Dobigny,Dhaker Abbes,Benoit Durillon,Hervé Barry,Christophe Saudemont

This book presents interdisciplinary approaches to help buildings, electrical energy networks and their users contribute to the energy and societal transition. Smart Grids and Buildings for Energy and Societal Transition examines the technologies, uses and imaginaries involved in implementing smart buildings and smart grids. Production and consumption forecasts, modeling of stakeholder involvement and self-consumption within a renewable energy community exploiting blockchain technology are examples developed with a view to fostering the emergence of smart grids. The potential of smart buildings, taking into account user comfort while increasing energy efficiency, is identified. Full-scale demonstrators are used to test the proposed solutions, and to ensure that users take full advantage of the potential for electrical flexibility.

Electrical Energy Storage for Buildings in Smart Grids

By: Benoît Robyns,Arnaud Davigny,Hervé Barry,Sabine Kazmierczak,Christophe Saudemont,Dhaker Abbes,Bruno François

Current developments in the renewable energy field, and the trend toward self-production and self-consumption of energy, has led to increased interest in the means of storing electrical energy; a key element of sustainable development. This book provides an in-depth view of the environmentally responsible energy solutions currently available for use in the building sector. It highlights the importance of storing electrical energy, demonstrates the many services that the storage of electrical energy can bring, and discusses the important socio-economic factors related to the emergence of smart buildings and smart grids. Finally, it presents the methodological tools needed to build a system of storage-based energy management, illustrated by concrete, pedagogic examples.

When the Shit Hits the Fan!

How to Keep Your Business Afloat for More Than a Year

By: Barry Thomsen

More than a million people start a small business every year. Unfortunately, about the same number go out of business every year. The mortality rate for small businesses is high because most entrepreneurs don't know what to do when the shit hits the fan ...and it always does. There are things that are going to happen that no textbook will ever warn you about, because no small business operates like the textbooks say it should. After 30 years running his own small businesses and helping others with theirs, Barry Thomsen has seen all the things that can go wrong, all the solutions that just don't work, and all the ways to keep the doors open...if only for another month. There is much more to starting, running, and succeeding at a business than buying a nice sign and ordering business cards. There are many commonsense answers to the everyday problems that affect most small businesses. An owner must meet these head-on...or head them off before they start. When the Shit Hits the Fan! will help you survive when it seems as though bullets are coming from every direction at once. You'll learn tried-and-true ways to deal with everything from poor cash flow, bad publicity, and unanticipated market changes to problem employees, irate customers, and weather disasters.

Bottom of the 33rd

Hope and Redemption in Baseball's Longest Game

By: Dan Barry

In “a worthy companion to . . . Boys of Summer,” a Pulitzer prize winning journalist “exploits the power of memory and nostalgia with literary grace” (New York Times). From award-winning New York Times columnist Dan Barry comes the beautifully recounted story of the longest game in baseball history—a tale celebrating not only the robust intensity of baseball, but the aspirational ideal epitomized by the hard-fighting players of the minor leagues. On April 18, 1981, a ball game sprang eternal. For eight hours, the night seemed to suspend a town and two teams between their collective pasts and futures, between their collective sorrows and joys—the shivering fans; their wives at home; the umpires; the batboys approaching manhood; the ejected manager, peering through a hole in the backstop; the sportswriters and broadcasters; and the players themselves—two destined for the Hall of Fame (Cal Ripken and Wade Boggs), the few to play only briefly or forgettably in the big leagues, and the many stuck in minor-league purgatory, duty bound and loyal forever to the game. With Bottom of the 33rd, Barry delivers a lyrical meditation on small-town lives, minor-league dreams, and the elements of time and community that conspired one fateful night to produce a baseball game seemingly without end. An unforgettable portrait of ambition and endurance, Bottom of the 33rd is the rare sports book that changes the way we perceive America’s pastime—and America’s past. “Destined to take its place among the classics of baseball literature.” —Kirkus Reviews (starred review) “Bottom of the 33rd is chaw-chewing, sunflower-spitting, pine tar proof that too much baseball is never enough.” —Jane Leavy, author of The Last Boy and Sandy Koufax
