Modular deployments generate results quickly and avoid large up front capital costs, which has numerous benefits to enabling cities to build climate smart communities sustainably.
AVOID HIGH FIRST COSTS
CLIMATE SMART CITIES Cities that can actively combat the negative affects of climate change and help improve the climate in a measurable and timely manner.
SOME CAUSES AND EFFECTS
Reduces the risk to the owner,
municipality, taxpayer
People can get their arms around the metrics and see the results
Real innovation when engineers write the checks

JOHN LEVIE’s TOP 3
1.Scalable/"right sized" servicing No need to spend $100M's to build a large facility today to handle servicing that is not required for another 35+ yrs
2.Interchangeable "core processes"- Modular design permits the replacement of core processes with newer technology as required
3.Streamlined approvals and permits – Modular systems and components can be pre-approved by regulatory agencies/governments/bldg depts.

1. Reduce Water Supply Requirements Recover and reuse water within one or more buildings
2. Reduce Downstream LoadingReduce the burden on downstream centralized plants
3. Reuse Energy and Water Within the CommunityRelated to #1 – optimal deployment seems to be 2-4block square
