Sustainability Approach

Masdar believes in the “Triple Bottom Line” approach to S t i bl D l tSustainable Development

•Social SustainabilityIs it Livable and Desirable

•Economic SustainabilityEconomic SustainabilityIs it Cost Effective to O&M

Environmental Sustainability•Environmental SustainabilityIs It Carbon Neutral

One Planet Living® - Principles

Masdar’s Sustainability Goals are guided by Bio-Regional/WWF’s “One Planet Living” Principles1. ZERO CARBON

Making buildings more energy efficient and delivering all energy with renewable technologies.2. ZERO WASTE

Reducing waste arising, reusing where possible, and ultimately sending zero waste to landfill.3. SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT

Encouraging low carbon modes of transport to reduce emissions reducing the need to travelEncouraging low carbon modes of transport to reduce emissions, reducing the need to travel.4. SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS

Using sustainable products that have a low embodied energy.5. LOCAL AND SUSTAINABLE FOOD

Choosing low impact, local, seasonal and organic diets and reducing food waste.6. SUSTAINABLE WATER

Using water more efficiently in buildings and in the products we buy; tackling local flooding and water course pollution.7. NATURAL HABITATS AND WILDLIFE

Protecting and expanding old habitats and creating new space for wildlife.8 CULTURE AND HERITAGE8. CULTURE AND HERITAGE

Reviving local identity and wisdom; support for, and participation in, the arts.9. EQUITY, FAIR TRADE AND LOCAL ECONOMY

Inclusive, empowering workplaces with equitable pay; support for local communities and fair trade.10. HEALTH AND HAPPINESS

Encouraging active, sociable, meaningful lives to promote good health and well being.

The Importance of Information Management

• Capturing data right the first• Capturing data right, the first time, then sharing to all relevant stakeholders improves the efficiency and effectiveness ofefficiency and effectiveness of the entire Programme.

40% of engineering time is spent l i d lid i i f ilocating and validating information

Data entered once and used by all reduces delivery time by up to 50%

Poor communications between systemsPoor communications between systems wastes up to 30% of project costs

Operations & Maintenance will save up to 14% in project costs

Capture Once, Use Many Times!

Justification/Value-Proposition

• Complex programmes involve vast quantities of information• Almost all information in urban development either refers to a place or describes something

at a place.• Real-world location (x,y,z +t) provides the framework for integration across disciplines.

[Masdar design submittals in UTM40/WGS + NADD][Masdar design submittals in UTM40/WGS + NADD]• Effective City Design, Construction, Operation and Governance involve understanding the

relationships and interactions between city elements.• Many scenario must be evaluated – especially understanding the consequences of

unanticipated, undesirable events/changes – when things go wrong.• Consideration of non-engineered elements (natural and social) – is critical to a successful

city.• Data collected during design and construction is basis for city operations & governance• Data collected during design and construction is basis for city operations & governance

GIS improves organizational efficiency:•Improving Organisational Efficacy – Getting it right first time - Informing Decisions•Eliminates redundant effort•Eliminates redundant effort

Geographic Information Systems

• Terminology- “GIS” is a technology class – not to be confused with specific vendor offerings

-Conventional GIS, and increasingly BIM operate in this domain.- “GIS” is often used to define a business function

• GIS Technologies - Functionality- Intelligent Data Management-Cross-Disciplinary Data Integration-Spatial Analyses – scenario evaluation-Visualization

• GIS at Masdar-GIS is a multi-purpose value-adding technology-GIS supports multiple business processes throughout the entire city lifecycle- “GIS” at Masdar is about Information Integration and Coordination

Smart Geo-Databases

• Diverse range of geographic data concepts can be modeled-Raster: measurements can be recorded everywhere ; soil pH; depth to water etc-Vector: point, lines and areas – precisely defined boundaries-Tin: Triangulated surfaces - e.g. elevation-Networks: Road, pipeline, cables systems.

• Topologies - Geometric relationships-Roads join at intersections-Buildings fall inside plots-Plots defined by roads

• Inter and intra feature relationships-Different pipe types joined by a connector-Transformers required at intersection of different voltage lines

Enterprise GIS

• ENTERPRISE GEODATA STORAGE-Modern GIS store spatial data in relational databases-GIS increasingly becoming a part of organization’s core Information Infrastructure

-CRM, ERP, GIS etc-No longer an isolated technical specialization

• SERVER GIS-Modern GIS offer their data, visualization and analytical functionality to the Internet/Intranet

-Server GIS makes GIS accessible to the whole enterprise “spatially enabling” other business processes.

- “GIS” staff spend more time automating decision support processes- GIS staff spend more time automating decision support processes-Moving away from one-off, ad-hoc “make me a map”

Web Services & Service Oriented GIS

GIS has fully embraced Web Services and provides:Data servicesVi li ti iVisualization servicesGeo-coding servicesAnalysis Services

GIS & CAD/BIM: Convergence or Competition?

• Building Information Models/Modeling (BIM)-BIM is “intelligent” 3D CAD-Building Models are built up from libraries of components/objects-Properties of objects e.g. embodied carbon, part no etc stored -Some degree of intelligence in data models-Currently lacks interoperability standards

• BIM an engineering design tool – GIS is not• BIM is bringing to the AEC domain concepts long established in GIS • A BIM is a “GIS” for micro-detail for buildings.• City wide BIM is a new, unproven concept ; GIS has been used to manage y , p p ; g

tens of thousands of cities for decades.• AEC is conservative – collaborative, standards based working will take time.• BIM does not address non-built city elementsy• BIM is a detailed engineering data source; GIS is an analytics, visualization

and integration platform.

GIS - Critical Elements

• Commitment from the Executive to organizational information efficiency-Consideration of data re-purposing

• Information Standards • Mechanisms that enforce standards• Support all disciplines but keep a core independent GIS/Info-Management

function• Understand the difference between IT and Information Managementg• Get Information Management function in place as early as possible.• The bigger and more complex the project the greater the ROI
