To BGD or not to BGD, that is not the question now


Basic facts on BGD project•Enhance the synergy of urban blue (water) and green (vegetation) components interacting other urban Eco-SS

•BGD promotes a new paradigm for efficient planning and management of the urban environment:

•It maximizes ecosystem services’ performance, minimizes environmental footprint and increases the cities’ adaptive capacity to CC,

• Provide effective, multifunctional Blue Green Solutions (BGS) to support urban adaptation to CC.

•Combines the top-down and bottom-up approaches,

Towards Blue Green Dream’s

Integrated Modelling System (IMS)


Capital cost benefits:- Cheaper water systems- Cheaper renewable energy plant- Cheaper artificial energy plant- ( Often cheaper building)- Better living environment quality

Resulting benefits:- lower building running cost- Lower occupants running costs- Better quality indoor and outdoor - Environment >>Marketing stronger / higher profitspossible

1. DEFINE INTERACTIONS


Urban adiabatic cooling – particular selection of deciduous threes with high leaf surface area- existing - Carpinus Betulus, Catalpa bignonioides, Acer sp., Juglans nigra, Platanus sp- new - Liqiudambar sp.

Passive heating - threes that loose leafs firstweek in October- Acer platanoides, Alnus glutinosa,

Winter wind barrier - evergreen threes -existing - Picea abies, Taxus baccata, Pinus sp., Pseudotsuga sp.

-new - Pinus nigra, Thuja columnaris, -Juniperus communis „Hibernica“

Semi open space - for social activities central zone threes - high treetop( 3-4m) - Celtis Australis, Rhustiphina, Betula verrucosa

Wind corridor for the building free cooling - summer night

Wind corridor for the urban adiabaticcooling - summer day

Clusters orientation – south /north to maximize passive heating and sunenergy harvesting by PV and Solarcollectors

The role of today’s meeting

- Identification of interests and “hot” topics- Indication of needs in India- Link of transportation -> smile like flowers - Focal points, spin-out now or later- Initial project, potential clients- Links to Horizon 2020- Forthcoming events in 2014- Your initiatives
