Dr Yashkumar Shukla is the Principal Researcher and Center Head of Centre for Advanced Research in Building Science and Energy (CARBSE). Dr Shukla has more than seventeen years of international experience in conducting research and in providing consulting serves in the domain of building energy efficiency. He has served as a lead on several ground-breaking energy-efficiency research projects including low energy cooling and ventilation system in Indian residences, evaluation of innovative cooling technologies, and monitoring and benchmarking of Indian buildings. His current research also includes calibration of simulation models, smart grids, low cooling energy systems, performance characterization of the novel envelope and air conditioning systems, and development of the next-generation control algorithms. He is presently serving as a team lead on the technical assistance program by Asian Development Bank focused on building disease resilient, smart, energy-efficient air conditioning systems for developing member countries. His prior work experience also includes providing technical support in designing and implementing demand-side management (DSM) programs energy-efficiency programs for electric utilities throughout the US.

The three main global energy concerns of providing access to modern energy, enhancing the security of the energy supply, and minimising the impact of energy systems on the climate have an impact on both national and international energy governance. To develop solutions that address the many facets of these difficulties, however, a variety of actors and stakeholders must be included due to the complexity of the energy challenges.
Cities are responsible for more than 70% of the world’s energy consumption and 40% to 50% of its greenhouse gas emissions. Managing increasing urbanisation is a challenge, and nations must deal with the effects it will have on the environment in terms of energy and climate.
Our transition to a future with lower carbon emissions depends heavily on buildings. They are our places of residence, rest, and employment; they also account for around one-third of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions and nearly 40% of the world’s energy usage.
