MODEL

Energy provision in Anam is one of the most important areas to make a large-scale sustainability impact. The strategy is to take advantage of the most abundant renewable energy sources while increasing the efficiency of electrical systems through information technologies such as the Smart Grid. Renewable energy sources in Anam include plant matter, solar power, and river (hydro) power. The design strategies ensure that energy provision meets the needs of the present and the future needs through:

LAND

Autonomy - wherever possible, each unit will generate power from renewable sources for use on location. At the same time, modular Community Utility Blocks will facilitate shared systems that distribute energy loads across a neighborhood-scale network Waste-to-energy - organic matter will be turned into biogas and biofuel through small and large-scale aerobic digesters distributed throughout the city. Energy Monitoring & Conservation - smart building design, point of use technologies and conservation incentives.

VISION ANAM

SOLAR ENERGY: One of the most important energy sources in ANAM is solar energy. The amount of solar energy measured in kilowatt hour striking a square meter of the surface is 4.5. This energy source is high enough to power both passive and active systems in the city as well as solar hybrid systems. BIOENERGY: Organic materials are a good source for bioenergy, which can be processed as biogas and biofuel. Biomass, as a renewable energy source, is organic material from living and or recently living organisms such as plant matter, waste, human and animal droppings. Biogas and biofuel produced in the city will be used to generate electricity or produce heat. CONSERVATION: The implementation of renewable energy sources is only part of the solution. Energy conservation and use reduction is critical for a truly comprehensive impact.

Recommendations
Incorporate passive solar and energy efficient design in all buildings. Require buildings to generate a majority of electricity demand. Design distributed energy/power systems for incremental growth of the city (unit, urban block or campus scale). Use smart technologies for effective monitoring and consider small community utilities with stock ownership, maintenance and operation by residents or local businesses. As the city expands, the distributed systems can be networked into a cost-efficient two-way intelligent grid for sharing, conserving and monitoring energy across the city. Install alternative power and energy-efficient systems in public spaces (ex: solar powered street & traffic lights) Provide financial incentives for energy conservation and independence through partnerships with municipal and financial institutions

Solar Systems
Strategies
The main source of electrical power in Anam city will be from the sun. The goal is to provide an environmentally friendly energy solution and facilitate its implementation from the early stage of the city development. Though implementation will begin with hybrid systems, the long-term goal is for the new city to operate entirely on renewable energy resources on a distributed network of stand-alone and shared systems. Photovoltaic Panels will channel sun directly into electrical power for households and businesses. In addition, Parabolic Systems will concentrate the suns heat into solar thermal power for large scale and industrial applications.

MODEL

The primary objective of waste management for ANAM is to create a balanced and closed-loop system that enables self-sufficiency, promotes environmental stewardship and supports a culture of recycling and reuse. Therefore the strategies include the design and implementation of: Distributed Treatment Systems - as a departure from the traditional centralized systems, this strategy will reduce treatment loads and costs for the city while ensuring infrastructure resiliency. Waste-to-Energy systems - The leading method of Waste to Energy is the creation of biogas from human wastewater and organic waste. Converting waste to biomass in order to produce biogas, biofuel, and organic fertilizer not only provides Anam New City residents renewable energy, but it also reduces the total volume of waste, leading to less money spent for treatment and disposal. Waste Reduction, Recycling & Reuse Programs

LAND WATER SOCIAL

Recommendations
Implement Living Machine wastewater treatment systems employing natural treatment processes within ecosystems and providing energy to other living things (i.e. natural or constructed wetlands, fish ponds, infiltration beds) Collect and treat organic waste and human wastewater in distributed biomass digesters at the urban block or building cluster or campus scale. Methane (biogas) and sludge (fertilizer) by-products should be captured and recycled for domestic, commercial or industrial use. Encourage kitchen/yard waste composting while charging for nonrecyclables waste collection Establish a municipal recycling center and centralized collection facility for hazardous waste Ensure adequate and accessible waste & recyclables collection bins in public spaces Initiate or support a recycling & reuse economy through city-wide programs (e.g., exchanging cash/food for recyclables).
