Demographics Changes and Resource Constraintsare Changing the Rules of the Game
Silo-Based Decision-Making
Abandonment of Long-Term Thinking
TRADITIONALDEVELOPMENT MODELS
ARE FLAWED
Shortsighted gains over long-term value
Results in disconnection & loss of efficiency
Generation Y, energy, carbon & water will drive the way we plan & build

CURRENT STATE
UTILITY INFRASTRUCTURE
Large scale utility & distribution networks
Fundamentally consuming mass amounts of energy that we don’t need to use
![Page 25: Restoring the Long-Term Economic, Social, & Environmental Health of Our Cities – Keynote by John L. Knott, Jr.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052410/54bb528d4a79591b1a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
WHAT NEXT?
BUILDINGS
Need to: design,retrofit, restore, upgrade, buildings; - to a much reduced resource standard- recapture 40-50% of resources lost from the building itself
![Page 26: Restoring the Long-Term Economic, Social, & Environmental Health of Our Cities – Keynote by John L. Knott, Jr.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052410/54bb528d4a79591b1a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
WHAT NEXT?
UTILITYINFRASTRUCTURE
Systems need to be redesigned under district energy level strategies
•Smaller scale generation & distribution systems specifically designed for climate•Get rid of waste on grid/ infrastructure side
![Page 27: Restoring the Long-Term Economic, Social, & Environmental Health of Our Cities – Keynote by John L. Knott, Jr.](https://reader033.fdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052410/54bb528d4a79591b1a8b458b/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
WHAT NEXT?
RESOURCE HARVESTING
Shift focus to concentrate on harvesting natural resources
•Less resources needed because system is more efficient•Generate a new economy around utilities with all 4 integrated capital sources
