The transition to a sustainable society involves new sustainable businesses including net zero energy houses, energy efficient campuses, solar energy systems, waste-to-energy technology or hydrogen-powered cars. To gain wide acceptance, they must address change management challenges in the form of existing legislation, established regulations, municipal zoning regimes, obsolete standards and codes, established practices and limited availability of skilled manpower. This course shows how these barriers to innovation and change can be overcome with new business models such as novel financing tools e.g. green mortgages, special incentives, shared ownership arrangements, feed-in tariffs for solar and renewable energy, new fiscal instruments such as a carbon tax, novel service arrangements, and new design and governance models for municipalities and regions. Students will have the opportunity to select a technological challenge or business opportunity and explore the institutional barriers that need to be addressed for successful deployment.
