Blue Green Dream Networking controbution to the UK – INDIA Workshop 24th February 2014 Prof. Čedo Maksimović PhD, Project coordinator Imperial College London c.maksimovic@imperial.ac.uk BGG – Blue Green Global Ltd director

To BGD or not to BGD, that is not the question now

Basic facts on BGD project Enhance the synergy of urban blue (water) and green (vegetation) components interacting other urban Eco-SS BGD promotes a new paradigm for efficient planning and management of the urban environment: It maximizes ecosystem services’ performance, minimizes environmental footprint and increases the cities’ adaptive capacity to CC, Provide effective, multifunctional Blue Green Solutions (BGS) to support urban adaptation to CC. Combines the top-down and bottom-up approaches,

Definition of ecosystem services Integrate the existing knowledge and modelling tools and develop next generation `BG IMS Extraction knowledge Sensitivity analysis Unified performance indicators Modelling of interactions Quantification of performance and benefits Assistance to planners Inputs to the BG IMS Biodiversity Acoustic abatement Thermal comfort CO 2 sequestration Noise pollution Runoff quality Ecosystem services Quantify the individual impacts (performance) and impact of interactions. Develop the rules for BGD IMS We shall rely on the existing knowledge but will also develop some new facts and `rules` Air pollution Aesthetic Values Flood risk reduction

Towards Blue Green Dream’s Integrated Modelling System (IMS) Good afternoon everyone. I am Xi from Imperial College and I’d like to introduce you the Blue Green Dream Integrated modelling system and the corresponding part I am responsible for.

Capital cost benefits: Cheaper water systems Cheaper renewable energy plant Cheaper artificial energy plant - ( Often cheaper building) Better living environment quality Resulting benefits: lower building running cost Lower occupants running costs Better quality indoor and outdoor Environment >> Marketing stronger / higher profits possible
