positive urban infrastructure

By Keith Heyde

                In any city, a large part of the carbon output and energy draw can be accredited to the transportation network. In inefficient cities (read L.A.), transportation is burdened by heavy individualized and long distance traffic. This results in people driving alone, in automobiles, for an excessively long period of time. Efficient transportation cities (read New York), are characterized by a large use of public transportation coupled with convenient amenities within close access.

                Often times, this is the result of a combination of factors including cultural and economic. However, a large part in determining whether a city’s transportation network is an efficient system depends upon simple infrastructure planning. With that said, we must acknowledge that some infrastructures are easier to plan than others. A developing city such as Lagos or Nairobi has room for intelligent planning and infrastructure plotting, allowing for it to be developed in an effective and intelligent way.

                Yet some cities, such as Paris and Rome, are thousands of years old. For these systems, retrofits and delicate city surgery is necessary to input the infrastructure necessary to thrive.

                However, some cities are simply unable to adapt new technology to their infrastructure by any feasible means. In our case study, Venice, geographical and cultural reasons inhibit any radical alteration to their infrastructure, yet they still have been able to adapt over time to cope with increased traffic as well as an aging infrastructure system.

                For those of you unfamiliar with Venice, it is a city built upon a grid of canals and waterways. These water systems provide the primary means of movement around the city and as such, most people do not own a car or even a bicycle for that matter. As such, the average carbon emissions incurred per person accredited to travel is dominated by the water bound transportation.

                If everyone was to have a boat, the canals of Venice would be overcrowded, full of the smell of gas, and burdened by reckless and unregulated drivers. To solve this, the city has established two public infrastructure systems: the water busses (vaporetti), and the water taxis (traghetti also known as the traditional Gondola).

                The vaporetti are large motorized boats owned by the public transit authority of Venice (ACTV). The offer shuttles around the Grand Canal as well as through a series of smaller channels. However, due to their size and clearance they are unable to traverse some of the smaller Venetian passageways. They use a series of numeric and alphabetic identifiers to indicate what line the vaporetti is running. Some lines stay around the central city, including line 1 which is essentially a tourist shuttle along the Grand Canal, whereas others reach the exterior of the metro area even making stops on the outside of the main Venice island.

                The vaporetti is impressive for a few reasons. The first of which is its novel route system. Many cities around the world operate water based transportation out of necessity; however none has one as elaborate as the vaporetti. The vaporetti must change its service lines as a function of the tide levels. During high tide, it goes into a simpler designation that is strikingly different than the normal routine. This is an active way to adapt to Venice’s ever changing infrastructure constraints that are a function of its sea-tied position. For a comparison if the difference in scheduling, contrast the maps found here: http://www.actv.it/pdf/navigazione/Mappa_linee_2nov.pdf and http://www.actv.it/en/movinginvenice/emergencyserviceinfoggyconditionsandduringhightide.

It should be noted that the Venice water bus system also changes routes when fog conditions are high or when algae blooms occur. The ability of the vaporetti to adapt, and adapt with preemption rather than response, is a testament to the intelligent and organic nature of the Venice infrastructure system.

                Secondly, the vaporetti has adopted a dual payment scheme that works for the advantage of many different users. One can either purchase a set number of rides at a fixed price per ride, or, one can purchase a blanket commuter pass ranging anywhere from 12 hours to 12 months. Both of the payment schemes have pros and cons for various users. As such, the vaporetti is remarkably successful from a financial perspective. Although, it should be noted that the vaporetti’s finances are undoubtedly bolstered by overly ambitious tourists filtering through this city year round.

                From a carbon perspective, the vaporetti are amazingly efficient since each boat is (almost always by most accounts) jammed to the brim with passengers. Although this makes riding conditions not always entertaining, it does reduce individual carbon output significantly.

                The second main form of transportation around Venice is to use the gondola water taxi system. These are long, narrow boats that are licensed to be piloted by a certified gondolier. The city of Venice has amazingly harsh constraints on the licensing process for gondoliers: so harsh that if even one mistake is made during the licensing test, the gondolier fails and must wait four years before retaking the exam. The harsh licensing criteria allows for the ACTV to both limit the number of vessels along the canal, but also make sure that no one is crashing into the delicate canal infrastructure.

                The gondola system acts as both a set-ferry service for those wishing to avoid the crowded vaporetti, as well as a set-price taxi service for those looking to go to some of the more reclusive or specific locations within Venice. However, because gondolas are strictly manpowered, the carbon offset per individual ride is limited. However, because of the minimal number of gondolier licenses issued, the price for a gondola ride is usually economically viable.

                The important point is that the city of Venice, although not a particularly large city, has developed an infrastructure that is both effective and environmentally conscious. It made due with the constraints it had from the canal network, and shaped its modern transportation tactics accordingly. Furthermore, it has left room about upgrading the vaporetti lines to be solar, natural gas, or even EV based in the future.

Description:
The Veterans Administration Network Contracting Office 19, located at Glendale, Colorado, intends to issue a Request for Proposal (RFP) to award a single firm fixed-price contract for Construction services for the Sheridan VA Medical Center, 1898 Fort Road, Sheridan, Wyoming to Construct Sheridan VAMC Boiler Plant Replacement Project Number 666-11-101. Tasks include, but are not limited to, upgrade the boiler plant system at the Sheridan VA Medical Center, Sheridan, Wyoming. This project is required to replace the outdated coal fired boiler plant which now exists in the VA Sheridan Boiler Plant. The Sheridan boiler system was designed with two coal fired boilers of equal size and a third natural gas boiler. This would allow two of the boilers to run at 58% during peak demand. The third boiler was intended to be available to supplement one of the coal boilers in the event of a failed boiler or for maintenance. The useful life of the current boiler plant is now ending plus tube failure has already begun and is becoming more frequent. To protect against system failure, and to correct building code violations and safety concerns, a new boiler plant is necessary. This construction contract will allow the Sheridan VA to assure our Veterans of heat, hot water, sterilization, clean laundry, etc.

EIQ Newsflash: 3/23

EnergyGridIQ Newsflash: 3/23/2012

 

1) Transportation is a big grabber of energy. Whether it is a gas guzzling SUV or an 18 wheeler, the things we drive to… well move stuff takes a lot of fuel to keep on going.

There are two ways to reduce the burden of all this fuel. The first is to seek out alternative energy means by which to power our fleets. Natural gas and biofuels have risen to prominence over the last few years due to their diversified uses and portability.

However, the other strategy is to make our vehicles more efficient. Whether by using lightweight composite materials (http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars/news/industry/is-aluminum-not-carbon-fiber-the-car-material-of-the-future-ferrari-says-yes) or more efficient engines, engineers are looking to push the limits of how we move.

Last weekend, the Cal Poly Supermilage test took a teams of car designers and put them to the test to see who could go the furtherest on a single gallon of gas. 1902 miles was the winners distance. You don’t believe me? Check it out for yourself: http://me.calpoly.edu/news/shellmarathon/.

 

2) Due to its abundance within the United States, Natural Gas has been toted recently as an energy ‘fix all’ for the woes currently exacerbated by rising oil prices. However, storage near the Producing Region (Alabama to New Mexico and South) could become a large issue. Recently the EIA published a study on the storage capacity of the Producing Region yielded some interesting results, take a look: http://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.cfm?id=5510.

 

3) Canada is looking to mobilize their operations with respect to energy transportation. Prime Minister Harper says he wants to expedite the approval processes to the Keystone XL pipeline as soon as possible.

Canada exports an overwhelmingly large amount of its crude oil to the United States because it does not have any significant refining facilities within the country. Prime Minster Harper is looking to change this.

EIQ Newsflash: 3/22

By Keith Heyde


1) If you want to talk about big fuel consumers, you talk about the United States. If you want to talk about big fuel spenders within the United States, you talk about the Military. Last year the Department of Defense estimated that it spent around 5 billion gallons of fuel. Wow. That’s a cool 13 billion dollars down the drain. This spending is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to issues with dealing with conventional fuel sources in the military. Consider how useful a tank is with no gas… not at all. This leaves fuel caravans exposed to enemy fire, not to mention general dependency on foreign fuel sources. Recently, the D.O.D. published a paper entitled ‘Energy for the Warfighter’ that outlined a shift into more solar and biofuel dependent fuel sources. The concept of having a more portable and agile military has been a shift in recent years that looks to be continued.

 

2) President Obama went to Nevada today to talk up his ‘all of the above’ energy plan. This program looks to increase the oil and natural production of the U.S. while simultaneously encouraging the growth of alternative fuel sources, specifically solar and biofuel.


3) On Tuesday, the U.S. department of commerce officially imposed tariffs on Chinese. However, the tariffs were much lower than what was expected. Furthermore, they were issued in a tiered system based in the company from China (since there are large public vs private issues w companies in China this does not violate any legal issues).
