GIUS Concept Design Community Conceptual Design of Green Integrating Utility System (GIUS) Mapping Energy Production and Consumption Water and Waste Management Green Integrating Utility System (GIUS) o Green Integrating Utility System (GIUS) is a concept that integrates all utility services, which needed for a community (can be Community Node – CN) within one location o GIUS should be placed near the community o GIUS include electricity generation, city water production, waste water treatment and solid waste disposal o District cooling generation system could also be integrated within the GIUS

Chaweng community Maenam community Lamai community Nathon community Community Node Approach

Low-Carbon Building Planning District cooling generation system could also be integrated within the GIUS Sky light and LED for office application Heat pumps Building Automation System Solar cooling Rooftop solar cell or plantations Green Hotels Building Code Near Zero Energy Building Green Stores+Green Services Government Buildings Commercial Buildings Hospitals Department Stores Measures
