ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN FOR SHIMLA WITH FOCUS ON SOLAR ENERGY Masters in Planning (Environmental Planning) 2nd Semester Studio School of Planning and Architecture New Delhi ENVIRONMENTAL PLAN FOR SHIMLA
BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY 2012 declared as International Year for Sustainable energy by U.N Development to be aligned along sustainability Renewable energy is one step towards this… Planning initiative – mainstream solar energy concerns into development process
AIM To formulate the environmental plan for sustainable development of Shimla. . To reduce the dependence on conventional and non-renewable energy sources. To integrate new and renewable energy systems with the development planning process. To analyze the renewable energy relationship with built form and physiography. OBJECTIVES
METHODOLOGY Development Planning Process Integration of Solar energy Identify parameters for analysis Literature study, data collection, analysis – using Ecotect Output – making spatial development energy sensitive
PARAMETERS FOR ANALYSIS ELEVATION SLOPE INSOLATION ASPECT
PARAMETERS FOR ANALYSIS VEGETATION LAND USE DENSITY BUILT FORM
How it will be used in analysis TYPE OF ANALYSIS How it will be used in analysis Land use distribution- to be related with parameters Density distribution across the planning area Check feasibility of renewable energy by evaluating the existing projects Analyze aspect, slope, elevation Analyze consumption pattern – building level data collection Identify critical areas- in terms of pollution
