TISEDTalk: Resilient Energy Infrastructure: Engineering for Climate Adaptation, Reliability, and Sustainability
Date: November 4th, 2025 | Time: 3:00 PM | Location: 黑料网 Engine Centre FDA5- 3450 Rue University | Hosted by TISED and 黑料网 Engine
As climate risks escalate, engineering resilient energy infrastructure is no longer optional鈥攊t is essential. From extreme weather events to rising demand and decarbonization imperatives, Canada鈥檚 energy systems face increasing strain. This TISEDTalk will explore how engineers and industry leaders can embed resilience, reliability, and sustainability into the next generation of infrastructure.
Emily Heitman, CEO of Schneider Electric Canada, brings over two decades of leadership in power systems and energy automation. She will share how digital technologies, microgrids, and grid-interactive solutions are transforming how we design, operate, and adapt energy infrastructure in the face of climate change.
Drawing on Schneider Electric鈥檚 real-world Canadian projects and global expertise, Emily will highlight how innovation and collaboration across sectors can deliver climate-adapted, low-carbon systems that are built to last. She will also reflect on the role of engineering leadership in advancing sustainability, equity, and economic resilience through infrastructure.
This session will provide actionable insight for students, researchers, and professionals looking to help shape a smarter, more sustainable energy future鈥攔ight here in Canada and around the world.
