\"\"Flexibility Reading Rooms
\n<\/strong>The reading rooms provide a chance for around 15 participants to discuss a paper,\u00a0 shorter notes and\/or snippets of data – on the topic in hand.\u00a0 These discussions will be recorded and made available as podcasts online.<\/p>\n

\n5th Reading Room : Space, time and contestations over demand response and infrastructure access
\n<\/strong>Wednesday 17th March 2021, 12.00-15.00 UK time<\/span><\/p>\n

This extended Reading Room, was designed as a collaboration with Mikko Jalas and colleagues to bring together a small group of researchers interested in discussing rhythmicity and access to infrastructure services such as energy, water and transport. In broad terms, the Reading Room considered themes of temporality; (energy) justice and the availability of infrastructure services. More specifically, it explored the idea of infrastructure services as spatio-temporal landscapes and considered how, under peak loads or other difficult-to-serve situations\/locations, access to services might be regulated, as well as the conflicts which arise in relation to regulation.<\/p>\n

The event was part of an ongoing collaboration between the \u00a0CREDS flexibility theme and Mikko Jalas, Aalto University, Department of Design, and is linked to a project entitled \u201cRhythms of Infrastructure Services\u201d (submitted to the Academy of Finland) that is set to examine demand management and the rhythmicity of rail and electricity infrastructure services.<\/p>\n
