1 Gray dusty buildings dominate modern cities and pollution ruins what little life is left. To counteract these, fers aesthetic, functional, ecological solutions to make a better, cleaner world. Your ro will take roots! Knowledge, imagination and teamwork are the fundamental principles through which we design and build versatile, efficient and strong databases The future may be green - brilliantly green!
2 2 There are many construction companies around the world. With the advent climate change and the countless problems associated with pollution, they are expanding their product line with more ecological fers. A recent development is ro greening. Partnering with over 100 companies in Europe, - International is one the innovators in ro greening. Our company designs, installs and maintains ros. We serve a forward looking clientele that is concerned with the environment and wants more eco-friendly buildings. Through our extensive network partners, we acquire raw materials from many countries allowing us to build unique ros which match our customers rigorous requirements. Our fer is all encompassing, including even plants specific to each climate. These suspended gardens have many advantageous effects, such as reducing energy consumption, cooling the building and extending the life the ro. Most importantly, using green ros is good for the environment: they negate the damage caused by the widespread use concrete and they reprocess carbon dioxide. A database that centralizes all the information regarding our company s transport system, building sites, client s requirements and the current ecological status their buildings is useful as it allows us to reduce our carbon footprint.
3 3 Internet resources Green Ros: Green Ro Portal, Green Ros in North America, US Green Building Council (LEED Standard) Renewable Energy Sources: US Dept. Energy, Energy Information Administration Supply Chain Management: Master Thesis ( Supply Chain Management in a Packing Company ), IBM Research Department Photos and Ideas: Hundertwasser's Waldspirale, Hundertwasser's Art Interviews Octavian P General Manager Ministry Environment and Durable Development Phone: Mr. Octavian P explained the EU administration s policy regarding the environment and how the member states trade or plan to trade their carbon credits. He seemed very enthusiastic about the idea creating a conceptual model that will allow the company to minimize human s negative environmental impact. Brenna T ERC, IBM IMBPD Delivery Centre Phone: We exchanged s and gathered research materials regarding the IBM Carbon Center Excellence. The documents provided helped us understand the methods through which IT can influence the reduction the carbon emissions from all the other industries. After combining all the information, we sketched the outline our ERD.
4 4 Company Structure Our multinational company has branches in many countries. In some cities, where our products are very popular, we have more than one branch, each located at a different address. Branches establish partnerships with other companies that supply materials and fulfil various needs. Branches can share partners. The rule thumb for choosing partners is closest one first as this results in shorter distances travelled and less fuel used; also, less pollution. Offer and Clients Green ros are intensive or extensive. Intensive ros resemble parks and require several feet ground soil, while extensive ones are suitable for the average home. Because the ros are composed from pre-planted modules made recycled plastics, they are easy to assemble. For each ro requested, we need to know its parameters: soil depth, area, climate, etc.we also fer alternative energy sources such as photovoltaic panels. Clients are either individuals or legal entities. They acquire green points based on the eco-friendliness the materials requested for their ros (we know the individual characteristics the materials used a green status and can calculate their cumulative effect). Our clients are rewarded with special discounts and fers depending on the number green points accumulated. Projects consist one or more ros and, usually, we are required to design, install and maintain the ro. At the request our client, we can also inspect the building (using the LEED Standard) in order to establish the net effect on the environment.
5 5 Carbon Footprint We measure the impact individuals and organizations on the environment in terms greenhouse gases produced. We track the relevant parameters both for our customers and for ourselves. This monitoring process helps us reduce pollution caused by the production and transportation our products. LEED Rating System has LEED Accredited Pressional employees. Our company is specialized in the following rating categories: New Construction, Existing Building, Core & Shell, Commercial Interiors. Buildings are inspected and granted a number points that determine its certification level. There are four possible certification levels: Certified points Silver points Gold points Platinum points The credit categories (total 69 points): Sustainable Sites 14 points Water Efficiency 5 points Energy & Atmosphere 17 points Materials & Resources 13 points Indoor Env. Quality 15 points Design Process 5 points
6 6 Materials, originating in many countries and supplied by our partners, are transported to the building sites via trucks, planes, ships or rail cars. For each these, we need to keep track the way their use impacts the environment (fuel consumption, carbon emissions, etc.) Regardless means conveyance, the energy consumption depends on various factors, such as: vehicle size, weight (with and without load), configuration, motor power, engine, transmission., and the slope/gradient the landscape (plane, hills, mountains), characteristic each country. A transport is the shift materials between two nodes that are defined by their latitude and longitude. Through integration with specialized mapping stware, we can calculate the actual distances travelled. A node may be the ro building site, a supplier location, one our warehouses, or a route node a map location necessary to completely describe a route (e.g. maritime port, road stop, etc.) Route nodes can be used in conjunction with mathematical models (or algorithms) in order to obtain the most efficient route through a number given nodes. We always need to know how much each product is in a node and how much is in transit. Products are transported in special recyclable containers, tracked by GPS. We know the state our products; the containers are capable maintaining adequate ventilation and other parameters, such as temperature and humidity, within established optimal ranges. Each our branches has several employees responsible with entering data pertaining to the supply chain. We need to know at all times that our products are in a good condition.
7 7 This diagram shows the various phases materials go through: from our partners manufacturing plants to their integration in ros. We aim to create a comprehensive database for our green ro company because the need to catalog, present, and maintain projects and case studies in one central location fers many benefits not only for our business, but also to researchers, designers, architects, students, public policy people, governments, and the market. The items in need resolution, as identified by our conceptual model, are: improving our fer, by making a larger variety plants and materials available; identifying and reducing the main factors that have a negative impact on the environment (especially those resulting from transport process), by generating reports and statistics; keeping track our raw materials, while they are in transit, by generating periodical reports about their state and location.

9 9 CONTAINER, SHIPMENT. Goods are transported via shipments, each which contains one or more containers, which are frequently polled to ascertain their position and internal condition. The data gathered is recorded in CONDITION and GPS POSITION. A shipment is either incoming or outgoing (as recorded in its type attribute). Incoming shipments increase the amount material in a node while outgoing shipments decrease the amount. Shipments may be delivered directly to a building site (a ROOF) or to a warehouse or supplier location (a NODE).

10 10 Generic modelling RAW MATERIAL allows various types parameters to be stored for each material. This makes possible storing photovoltaic cell parameters, as well as plant or material characteristics. RAW MATERIAL is an entity which contains the formal description a product. A container may hold a quantity one type goods, as indicated by its relation with RAW MATERIAL. RAW MATERIAL contains the physical parameters a product, while GREEN STATUS holds the ones that bear on the environmental impact.

11 11 ROUTE, NODE. We consider transportation as being along ROUTEs composed NODEs. The latter are origins or destinations for goods or important waypoints on the map. The NODE LIST is an intersection entity, in the case that a node is situated at the intersection two or more routes. ROUTE # number * max. speed * max. weight * max. height o specifications on composed by NODE LIST * specifications composed by NODE # latitude # longitude part MAP LOCATION WAREHOUSE * address * phone number * total capacity SUPPLIER LOCATION * timetable * phone number BUILDING * habitable surface * height assigned to ROOF * angle * surface * soil depth * weight * water retention * cost factor assigned to a building site for an inspection site for owned by the owner part CLIENT * mail address * address * phone number LEGAL ENTITY * fiscal code * company name * notes assigned to described by LOCATION composed # address CLIMATE for composed part carried on at SITE # start date o end date INDIVIDUAL * ssn * title * first name * last name ZONE * altitude SEASON # name # start date * end date * rainfall * min temperature * max temperature * wind speed CLIENT, LOCATION, SITE, ROOF, BUILDING. Clients request the design, construction or maintenance ros, organized in locations, that are owned by the clients. Ros are then grouped into building sites. Start dates are primary keys because Sites may be (re)opened multiple times. Clients may also request only inspection their buildings in order to receive LEED certification. An instance the SITE entity is a building site for a ro, called ROOF or an inspection site for a building, called BUILDING. CLIMATE, ZONE, SEASON. When designing a ro, we consider the location the building site. Depending on the climatic conditions, we suggest an appropriate selection plants to our clients. Combining information about the products used and the distances traveled, we calculate the ecriendliness ros and projects and quantify it in green points. These measure only the ecriendliness the ro, while LEED Certification refers strictly to the whole building.
12 12 Assumptions A transport is considered the shift between a minimum two nodes. Should the transport use more than one type vehicle, we split it into more transports. The database deals solely with the environmental aspect the business. The financial and administrative sides are handled by other databases. A client is located in the same country as the branch in charge his sites. Even though some partners have branches in many countries, we treat each them separately. All temperatures are averages calculated over the relevant periods the previous ten years. Constraints All start dates must be before the end dates. Longitude and latitude have values between 180E and 180W, and respectively 90N to 90S. ROOF and BUILDING ids are disjoint sets. The same applies to ROOF and NODE. Gradients represent the slope the terrain and are measured in degrees. We use the following measurement units: depth, altitude: metres rainfall: litres per square metre temperatures: degrees Celsius emission factors: g per kwh Statistics units are recorded thus: embodied energy: joules biodegradable, recyclable/ed: true/false humidity: per cent speed: kilometres per hour wind speed: metres per second area: square metres energy consumption: kwh durability: months CO2 emissions: metric tonnes
13 13 Statistics are easily generated through an intuitive web interface. Here, a chart with the Green Points plotted for a period two years is requested. And here, several fers are being compared in terms their eco-friendliness. The graph generated is scaled, where 100% is the best fer available and 1% the worst.
14 14 This is a sample report that shows the environmental impact the company has had in the past. It shows the number green points for ros accumulated through projects over a period two years. The chart on the left shows how a customer can visualize what his/her options are when choosing the ro design. The LEED Standard places buildings in four categories. As the chart shows, the number Gold and Platinum certifications has steadily increased over the years. By 2012, we intend to have certified the majority Gold and Platinum buildings
15 15 It has been a great experience to work in a team and have to analyze and choose possibilities, create and design conceptual models in order to build solutions. None these could have been possible, had it not been for the competitive atmosphere creativity encouraged by our principal Mrs. Silvia M. We have successfully created a database that suits the needs...international. Using our database, we can obtain statistics regarding environment and the way our products affect it. Designing the database was a challenge, as we had to integrate a large number entities within the conceptual model. By studying the problems the environment, we realized the great importance pollution and the difficulties people face when trying to solve them.
