CAS-Climate DCL: Workshop: Retrofitting Energy Justice

全球向可再生能源系统的过渡需要社会各界的参与。气候变化的创新解决方案不仅需要建造新的，而且还需要改造现有的，包括改造现有的建筑和现有的气候基础设施。由这笔赠款支持的研讨会旨在收集和扩展维护和维修研究与环境正义交叉点的工作，以审查基础设施改造的必要性。通过将科学和技术研究（STS），人机交互（HCI），城市研究，土著研究和环境工程领域的研究人员与维护和维修社区的不同成员聚集在一起，能源转型计划可以挖掘，恢复和回收改造实践和社会历史，将维修作为维持生命的实践和日常形式的可持续性。本次研讨会将开始，以公平为中心，不仅是一个新的物理关系的工程方法，环境，但也是一个新的社会关系的能源转型。研讨会的目标是作出三个核心贡献的研究能源正义和可持续设计。首先，关于维护和维修的不同社会科学和环境工程对话将被连接起来，以告知跨学科的减排方法。第二，将强调在进行中的可再生能源过渡项目范围内，扩大对基础设施改造的作用和影响的理解。第三，围绕能源基础设施的社区驱动适应的新形式和新兴形式所包含的价值观、技能组合和实践将得到重点介绍。这个奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The global transition to a renewable energy system requires engagement from all parts of society. Innovative solutions to climate change require not only constructing the new, but also retrofitting what exists, including adapting existing buildings and climate proofing existing infrastructures. The workshop supported by this grant aims to gather and extend work at the intersection of maintenance and repair studies with environmental justice to examine the need for infrastructure retrofitting. By bringing together researchers from the fields of science and technology studies (STS), human computer interaction (HCI), urban studies, indigenous studies, and environmental engineering with diverse members of maintenance and repair communities, energy transition initiatives can excavate, recover, and reclaim the retrofitting practices and social histories that center repair as a life-sustaining practice and an everyday form of sustainability. This examination will begin by centering equity as an orienting approach to engineering not only a new physical relationship to the environment, but also a new social relationship to energy transition.The workshop targets to make three central contributions to research on energy justice and sustainable design. First, disparate social science and environmental engineering conversations on maintenance and repair will be connected to inform cross-disciplinary approaches to emissions mitigation. Second, a broadened understanding of the roles and effects of infrastructural retrofitting within the context of ongoing renewable energy transition projects will be emphasized. Third, the range of values, skill sets, and practices embedded in new and emerging forms of community-driven adaptation around energy infrastructure will be featured. The workshop seeks to locate retrofitting concerns at the core of energy transition thinking, practice, and development.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
