CCORE 2024: Climate Change and Ocean Renewable Energy — Keynote and Session Chair Recap
Event: 3rd International Conference on Climate Change and Ocean Renewable Energy (CCORE 2024)
Dates: 2–3 November 2024
Role: Keynote speaker and session chair — Professor Saim Memon, CEO of Sanyou London
What happened?
Professor Saim Memon delivered a keynote and chaired Keynote Session 1, engaging with an international community on practical routes to net-zero buildings and climate action via deployable vacuum-insulation technologies. The programme showcased industrial R&D that moves beyond concepts to measurable energy and carbon savings.
Keynote title
“Unchaining Net Zero Energy Building Infrastructure: The Role of Vacuum Insulated Materials in Achieving Sustainable Development Goals and Combatting Climate Change Through Energy Efficiency.”
Abstract — in brief
Vacuum-insulated materials—Vacuum Insulated Wallpaper (VIW), Vacuum Insulation Panels (VIPs) and Decorative Integrated VIP (DVIP)—deliver very low heat transfer at minimal thickness, cutting heating and cooling loads while preserving internal space.
- Performance vs traditional options: Compared with XPS, EPS, mineral wool and polyurethane, VIW/VIP/DVIP achieve higher thermal resistance at lower thickness, enabling upgrades where space, weight or disruption are constrained.
- All climates: In cold-arid regions, they retain heat efficiently; in hot-arid regions, they suppress heat ingress, stabilising indoor comfort and lowering energy use.
- Regulations and SDGs: Their effectiveness supports stringent building regulations, drives down operational carbon, and contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals through energy efficiency and reduced emissions.
The keynote argued for scaling these formats to accelerate net-zero building infrastructure and address global challenges with solutions that are testable, standardisable and ready for procurement.
