SECURITY

WHat is security?

Security is the degree of resistance to, or protection from, harm.

In the future…• More cyborg guards especially at

secluded places

• Spend more time on public knowledge

• Advanced security equipment

Water & Waste Management

• Water is renewable, we should recycle or even process more clean water so that we wont pollute the sea water

• Use rain water management and process into clean water for further usage

• Make a Fare to warn people about water management and don’t waste water

• Invent tap or even shower that can off itself when not in use or shampooing (Sensor / Programmed)

Tools Centralized Systems

Decentralized Systems

Storm water management and rainwater harvesting

Permeable pavements, green roofs, rain gardens, etc.

Water conservation New technologies and behavioral changes

Water reclamation and reuse

Treatment for potable uses and reuse (direct and indirect)

Treatment for potable uses and non-potable reuse

Energy management Anaerobic digestion, combustion, microbial fuel cells

Capture of heat energy, microbial fuel cells

Nutrient recovery Land application of biosolids, struvite recovery

Source separation Treatment of kitchen, black, and yellow wastewater

Supply potable and non-potable water; treatment of kitchen, black, and yellow wastewater

WASTE

Ovetto recycling bin

• Just need to scan the object u want to recycle and the bin will open

• Ovetto means ‘’EGG’’ that’s why it designed like an egg

• waste collection system deposit their refuse into waste inlets. The refuse is temporarily stored by the waste inlets until the next emptying cycle.

• transported along the pipelines into containers at the waste station. When full, the containers are sent away for further processing using

• Care must be taken to avoid advanced waste management becoming the privilege of the few.

• changing food culture and habits in developing countries.

Tourism and Hospitality of My Future City

Hotels and Resorts

● Concept of Pyramid● Largest man-made struecture in world's

history● Shopping centre below the pyramid

● Million of rooms● Free Wifi● Accelerating walkways, inclined elevators

and a personal transit system● Composed by 5 stcked trusses● Use only renewable energy● Man-made beach

Park

● Represent a public space● Efficient, high-tech, and immensely

sustainable● Covered in plants● Seperate into public, private and

commercial● Different type of facilities

Restaurant and Commercial Food Service

● 5 stars restaurant● Touch screen menu● No service tax● No waiter or waitress● Different cultural food

Transport, Energy Management & Disaster Relief

●Transport

Issue

-Inconvenience caused by traffic congestion, especially in a large population area.

-China -Tokyo -LA

-Malaysia -Thailand

● To overcome the issues,

Efficient Pubic Transports ● Straddling Bus

Height: 4.5m

Speed:60km/h

Load : 1,200 passengers

●Purposes● Reducing traffic congestions

-avoiding traffic jam caused by ordinary buses loading at bus stops

-reduce traffic congestion by 20-30%● Eco-friendly

-Powered by overhead lines

-roof electrical contact system

-Photovoltaic panel, battery or supercapacitors.● Reducing the Pollution rate

-replace up to 40 conventional buses

-saving 860 tons of fuel

-avoiding 2,640 tons of carbon emissions

●Natural Disaster Relief

3 Categories● Hydro-meteological

-Tsunami

-Flash Flood● Geophysical

-Earthquake ● Geomorphologic

-Avalanches

-Landslides

Emergency Response Vehicles (A.K.A rescue team)

● Hand out food ● Relief supplies● Information● Comfort to people in need

Overnight Shelter Stays ● Ensure people have a safe place

to stay● Access to other trained volunteers

Relief Items ● Comfort kits contain basic personal

supplies needed● Convenient distribution centers from an

emergency response vehicle in affected area

Health and Mental Health Contact● Travel to disaster site to cope people who

need help● Provide first aid treatment for injuries,

monitor the well being of people● Providing emotional support and helping

people to cope after disaster

What is Energy Management ?● Energy management● planing and operation

 The objective● conservation● Climate● protection● cost savings

CARBON - FREE RENEWABLE ENERGY - 12%

FOSSIL FUELS - 80% 30 billion metric tons of CO2 pollution every year.

 

How we overcome this issue ?

Solar energy• radiant light and heat from the sun• Heat and electricity• With energy demand continually increasing,

along with the need for new and clean energy sources.

Wind Energy

• A wind turbine is a device that converts kinetic energy

• From the wind into electrical power.• Small contributions to a domestic power

supply • Part of a strategy to reduce their reliance on

fossil fuels

• Energy of moving water• The energy of falling water and

running water, which may be harnessed for useful purposes.

• Kinetic energy to generate electricity • Cheapest way to generate electricity

Hydro Power

Renewable energy — wind, solar, geothermal, hydroelectric, and biomass — provides substantial benefits for our climate, our health, and our economy

● Little to No Global Warming Emissions

● Improved Public Health and Environmental Quality

● A Vast and Inexhaustible Energy Supply

● Jobs and Other Economic Benefits

● Stable Energy Prices

● A More Reliable and Resilient Energy System

GREEN BUILDINGConserve | Improve |

Reduce

Nature’s Priority in Construction

• Green roofs• Solar energy (renewable resources)• Passive landscape ( plants as benefits > living shades instead of

window tints that reflects UV rays > affects ozone layer )• Rainwater collection ( 100% filter > REUSE [toilet flush/ car

washes] )• Sustainable architecture (earth blocks > reduce cost/ minimize

shipping cost, strong, stable, water resistant, long-lasting, fire resistant, non-toxic, pressed [short drying period] )

• Controlling moisture accumulation• Temperature control• Solid wood flooring• Operations & Maintainence ( maintaining sustainability of building )

Economically ?

• Saves cost ( sustainable materials )• Profitable building • Expanding ‘green market’

Socially?

• Increases aesthetic qualities• Enhance comfort & health• Ventilation & air circulation• Satisfaction of lighting• Thermal satisfaction (individual

controls for temperture & ventilation )• Air quality
