Enabling Efficient Cities

1 Enabling Efficient Cities Mark Ginsberg U.S. Green Building Council Ginsberg Green Strategies

2 Two billion additional urban inhabitants are expected by 2030, the majority of whom will be in the rapidly growing cities of Africa, Asia, and Latin America.

3 The expected increase in urban population of 2 billion people before 2030 would require the equivalent of 200 new cities the size of the Paris region

4 CITIES OF THE FUTURE Will be successful ONLY if they are GREEN Efficient Affordable Resilient Green cities will utilize Energy efficiency Renewable energy Smart grid Integrated urban design

5 Benefits to Cities Reduce energy costs for the government and citizens Reduce urban pollution and resulting improved health Mitigate global climate change Assistance in achieving the National and City Energy Goals Reduce power grid congestion Help assure reliable energy supplies Foster economic development Produce jobs in new and emerging technologies Increase community pride and reputation

21 Our Rationale for Cities Cities are at the forefront of implementing most innovative and practically viable solutions. Investments made today in urban infrastructure and buildings will shape these cities for the next few generations. The construction of these cities is achievable with the right tools, commitment and local leadership. Cities need to strive to address ambitious but achievable goals, with a set of guidelines and detailed strategies. Cities collect much of the needed information currently, but need to assemble it into a format that will help them plan, implement, manage and demonstrate measurable progress.

22 Suggested Comprehensive Implementation Approach Implementation of Action Oriented Viable Solutions Phased approach for 1-5 years with Capacity Building

23 What cannot be Measured, cannot be Managed!

25 Illustrative Example: A World City

26 World Cities that are Implementing Strategies and Improving Performance are able to Participate

28 Data from 65 U.S. Cities is Already Integrated into LEED Dynamic Plaque Platform

29 Data from 43 Chinese Cities is Ready to be Integrated into LEED Dynamic Plaque Platform

30 Data from 55 Indian Cities is Ready to be Integrated into LEED Dynamic Plaque Platform

31 Suggested Targets and Strategies # Energy Reduce energy demand through energy efficiency strategies in buildings, industries, municipal services etc. Utilize renewable energy starting with 33% of energy demand, integrated by smart grid, going to zero carbon. Construct all new buildings to be energy efficient (mandate Building Codes or Rating Systems). Water Reduce water demand by effective management, supplementing the municipal supply with recycled wastewater and rainwater harvesting; adoption of sustainable urban drainage systems; restoration of water bodies; provision of adequate quantity and quality of water supply for ALL. Utilize all methane generated from the waste water treatment plants for energy. Waste Ensure clean and hygienic sanitation facilities for all; 100% collection of segregated/dissaggregated municipal solid waste; treatment of at least 50% of wet waste (to be gradually increased to 100%); recycling of waste; safe disposal of electronic waste, hazardous waste and bio-medical waste, construction and demolition waste; transition to sanitary landfills. Divert 100% municipal waste from landfills and produce energy from all organic wastes. #Detailed Targets and Strategies are available in: Environmental Sustainability Framework for Smart Cities, prepared By U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) & The Energy Resources Institute (TERI)

32 Suggested Targets and Strategies # Transportation Ensure that basic facilities and amenities in neighborhoods are at comfortable walking distance (i.e m). Provide 100% of arterial/sub-arterial road network with footpaths and bike lanes. Assure that the network of public transport is dense enough to ensure high accessibility of public transit stations from any point in the city and connect to at least 50% modal share of public transit systems. Encourage transition of at least 10% private vehicle and 50% city government and public transport fleet to electricity from renewable sources. Human Experience Improve air quality and human health. Provide continuing education for skill development, innovation and entrepreneurship development. Create green jobs and move toward a green economy. Increase employee productivity. Develop socially just communities with access to clean water, reliable energy and healthy living conditions for all citizens. Make cities safe, clean and livable with zero crime rate. Provide adequacy of health and education services. #Detailed Targets and Strategies are available in: Environmental Sustainability Framework for Smart Cities, prepared By U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) & The Energy Resources Institute (TERI)

33 LEED Online Offers World Cities a Platform to Compare and Compete

34 LEED Online Cities Dashboard

35 Our Proposed Solution for Cities Our performance platform is available for tracking, measurement and improvements for Cities Provide opportunities to compare and compete with World Cities USGBC will provide Data Collection, Open Data Platform and Performance Tracking to accelerate various implementation activities Share our framework and guidelines with Cities - embed/integrate with various codes and practices Offer solutions and tools including LEED, EDGE and PEER to help Cities improve performance Educate/develop skills across the entire eco-system in the City government, consultants, companies, citizens

36 Suggested Action Plan for Cities Invite Cities in to participate on the LEED Dynamic Plaque Platform Support cities for data collection with standardized online platforms Provide an open data platform for all city data Dynamically track performance Provide world outreach in online and print media and Conferences Assist in deploying policies, codes and practices Share best practices and Recognize Outstanding Leaders Help improve urban performance with tools like, LEED, EDGE, PEER, etc. Training and Capacity building suggest workshops and education tools
