Treasure Island City of San Francisco, CA
• Articulate the 100% good vision for a “world-class” sustaining city
• Evaluate design proposals against this vision
Treasure Island City of San Francisco, CA
Master Plan by SOM, Arup and others
Treasure Island “Dashboard”
Treasure Island “Dashboard” Criteria
Proposed strategies: LEED-ND based design criteria
End Goal: Carbon neutral community.
All energy needs are met through renewable sources and all future development accounts for the generation of renewable power as part of its design.
Level 3: Energy Integration and Carbon Assessment
Integrated, site-wide energy protocol is used to identify synergies, documenting carbon content of energy flow from source to use.
Level 2: Preferential Energy SourcingAdoption of development-wide strategy for reducing energy use. (e.g., Green power purchasing, on-site renewable power)
Level 1: Energy EfficiencyEnergy demands are reduced through good energy-efficient choices within a conventional model (e.g., ENERGY STAR products, increased building envelopes performance).

IJburg I Sustainability Dashboard
IJburg I Sustainability Dashboard - Strategies Evaluated
IJburg I Sustainability Dashboard – Levels of Achievement
Reduce Demand- conventional building practices
Energy Use - mainstream green building practices
Transmission + Distribution- district heating
Renewable Production- none on- or off-
site
IJburg I Sustainability Dashboard – Energy Assessment
Stormwater - meets strict codes - infiltration through sand base cleanses and slow discharge
Water Reuse- no reuse infrastructure
Potable Water Reuse- no strategies beyond code
Wastewater - Conventional
treatment
IJburg I Sustainability Dashboard – Water Cycle Assessment
Water Quality- excellent infiltration strategies- Improved quality
Habitat- integrated site-wide restoration and creation plan
Biodiversity- increased beyond predevelopment level
Urban ecology
- conventional

IJburg II Sustainability Principles
IJburg II Opportunities Matrix
Goal: Use 100% renewable power for wastewater treatment.
Strategies:1. Develop localized wastewater
treatment to reduce the amount of energy used for transport.
2. Include renewable energy production in all new wastewater treatment facilities.
3. Capture waste heat and methane within the treatment process.
IJburg II Goals and Strategies
Goal: All discharge from the treatment facility will support the health of the IJmeer.
Strategies:1. Implement technologies for
recapture of nitrogen and phosphates before discharge.
2. Implement systems to reduce and eliminate the use of chlorine and
other chemical treatment
IJburg II Goals and Strategies
Goal: Develop facility phased in over time that is adaptable to changing technology.
Goal: Develop new partnerships with utility providers.
