Towards a framework for integrated sustainable precincts
The green infrastructure – green building interface
Dr Rob Roggema, Senior Research Fellow, Swinburne University of Technology, [email protected]
Thriving Neighbourhoods workshop: Can decentralised district infrastructure accelerate sustainable building?Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre. Tuesday 13 November 2012. 11.00-12.30
This workshop is very timely: they want to talk…..
• Melbourne Planning Strategy• Hot topics: globally competitive,
strong communities, environmental resilience, polycentric linked to regions, 20 minute city, infrastructure, leader-partner-ship
• Today, you are offered the chance to formulate your sustainable contribution!
The building envelope
Building envelope Maylands activity centre
Electricity and gas system
Peter Steele?
Can we bridge the building with infrastructure and does it deliver
sustainable solutions?
Objective• creating a framework in which synergies
between decentralised infrastructure and buildings enhance sustainability
• opportunities and barriers • new and redevelopment precinct scale• decentralised district infrastructure
encourage green building?
Elements of district infrastructure
• energy (neighbourhood scale)• renewable energy, smart grids• rainwater harvesting & stormwater storage • wastewater reuse• green infrastructure (open space, landscape, ecology)• recycling and composting, re-use• design of public spaces (squares, green space, streets) • social infrastructure (education, meeting, networks)• public transport/cycling infrastructure• … (much more)• integrated
Output
• report • goes to City of Melbourne (presentation),
reaction Melbourne let’s talk, part of conference proceedings
• academic paper(s) (who wants to join?)
Benefit of the workshop• exchange knowledge and ideas• understand how sustainable district
infrastructure can be integrated with buildings • acknowledge the infrastructure-building
interface as a driver for urban planning

District infrastructure systems: Waste to energy facility for district heating, Wastewater treatment, Central stormwater treatment. The model shows the interaction between sewage and refuse processing and energy provision
Neighbourhood Energy Utility (sewer heat recovery system) for space heating and domestic hot waterDistrict stormwater treatment
Solar energy, zero-fossil, carbon neutral, car free, zero waste, water-neutral
Ecolonia: Alphen a/d Rijn
One of the oldest examples: water storage, energy saving, reduced car use, ecology
GWL-Amsterdam
High density (100/ha, 600 dwellings), CHP, heat exchanger, urban agriculture, car free, water storage and recycling
City or building?Zuidkas (the south-greenhouse, Amsterdam Zuidas)
a rooftop-based ecosystem that stands to sustain and enrich the structure’s offices, homes, school, and restaurants in addition to a park, a biogas electrical plant and retail facilities (Architectenbureau Paul de Ruiter)
Workshop expectations
• Six key findings (solutions, strategies, measures) that your group finds to be essential to realise sustainable neighbourhoods. Divide in 3 barriers and 3 opportunities
• Provide your contribution to Melbourne Planning Strategy, as an advise, based on your workshop debate and key findings
• These advises together we will combine into a framework at the end of the workshop
• Every participant is asked to write down his/her two main elements that ‘resonate’ on post-its
Use of case study: E-gateRedevelopment: 23 ha, mixed use, residential, commercial, higher densities, close to station, city link, green infrastructure
and measures, select six key findings (3+3)• 12.00 report back (4x5 minutes)• 12.20 building of framework• 12.30 end (continue the discussion over lunch)• Each group to appoint one reporter/presenter
