1 Integrated Infrastructure Edward A. Clerico, P.E., LEED AP President, Alliance Environmental LLC March 10,

2 Integrated Infrastructure Progression from water/wastewater to water reuse to energy/water (CHP) to water/energy (heat pump cooling/heating) to carbon conversion to biogas Some aspects are not new and existed in times of scarcity Some aspects are completely new technology that allows high performance at small scale

3 Copyright Ed Clerico, 2007 Simple Logic Why do we produce potable water to carry our waste? Why do we light and ventilate unoccupied rooms? Why do we produce energy from scarce resources, and in a manner whereby much is discarded?

4 The key is finding affordable effective systems and practices that fit each specific case Ecology as Infrastructure Carriage Farm duced impervious cover duce water demand 43% ganic land management integrated t management ter surface water runoff oundwater recharge at preexisting ditions proved biodiversity cal food production 46% lower energy consumption Ground source heat pump Natural ventilation Daylighting 85% waste landfill diversion Recycled content and resource reuse Indoor air quality low voc, high filtration

5 Integrating Functional Systems Rain Garden Organic Hay Grass Fed Beef Geothermal Heat Pump Solar Photovoltaic Panels

6 Urban Systems Taking advantage of high density characteristics and the benefits of concentrated human activity Tear Drop Park Vegetated Roof River House

7 Linear vs. Integrated Systems

8 Energy Segregated Systems Approach Is Not Sustainable Stuff Solid Waste Community

9 Energy (35%) Systems Segregation and Fragmentation Creates Inadequate Function 4 quads + 4 quads = 8 quads US (Mark Shannon 2008) Linear Segmented Approach Adds energy at each step Depletes resources on supply side Energy Stuff Community Energy Solid Waste Contaminates environment on disposal side

10 Functional System Integration Integrated Systems Reduce and Reuse Add less energy at each step and extract energy post consumer use Use less natural resources on production side Release less contaminants to environment on post consumer side Energy Stuff Nonpotable Water Reuse Natural Resource Recycling Energy (80%) Nutrient Recycling Energy Energy Solid Waste

11 General Benefits of Decentralized Systems Just-In-Time, Just-The-Right-Size service delivered without excess capital - built to exact customer needs and specifications Innovation oriented allow change with each project Competitive allow for competitive systems and service mechanisms High Efficiency capture benefits of reuse, shorter distances, less energy input, less consumption, less waste Low security risk due to smaller size and greater dispersion

12 Benefits of Decentralized Water Systems Avoid undesirable secondary impacts (i.e. sprawl), yet allow modern planned development concepts Conducive to Smart Growth and Low Impact Development concepts that incorporate stormwater reuse, groundwater recharge and integrated water resource management Provide higher quality effluent that has nutrients removed simply because it has to be acceptable for reuse Eliminate infiltration and inflow conditions that are readily addressed in small systems Capture embedded energy that would typically dissipate into the sewers and earth

23 What s Up Next Combination fire suppression and nonpotable water distribution reduce water distribution costs dramatically while improving fire distribution operations Anaerobic digestion of biosolids and green waste Anaerobic treatment via AMBR Nutrient capture and reuse

24 Societal Benefits Flexibility not being tied to rigid centralized system limitations- ability to integrate multiple systems Improved standard of living lower mean household income devoted to water resource management Security - Lower risk associated with drought, floods and catastrophic events Well being better environmental protection and lower health risks

25 We must not complacently accept the problems associated with traditional infrastructure when better solutions already exist.
