Eco-Design & the Economy

Design Dimensions Political / Financial: trade, money / currency, EPR / property /service Energy: soft energy path Technological: cradle-to-cradle, eco- industrialism, Carbo Economy, shearing layers, product design Spatial: urban design / green cities, localization

People/ Work / Human Capital importance of Creativity in postindustrial economics. knowledge-based production displacing resources from production & circulation. education & training: continual learning, learning & doing, self-actualization, community development.

Financial & Property Design Internalizing the externalized monetary system Ownership & stewardship: responsibility & liability design EPR, Service Economy Ecological Tax Reform / tax shifting Intellectual property

End-Use & the Green Economy 1.The Service Economy Hot Showers and Cold Beer Nutrition, Illumination, Entertainment, Access, Shelter, Community, etc. 2. The Lake Economy Economic Biomimicry, flowing with nature, Every output an input, Closed-loop organization, Let nature do the work

The Soft Energy Path A flexible diverse mix of energy supply Primacy of Renewable energy sources Focus on End-use, on Conservation, and on efficiency of use Energy matched to the task at hand in both QUALITY and SCALE Participation-oriented structure--in both production and consumption People-intensive development and Job- creation

Historical Trends in Energy Development: from Quantity to Quality Dematerialization Decarbonization : wood to coal to liquid fuel to natural gas to renewables & negawatts Decentralization distributed generation solar photovoltaics, wind turbines, small hydro, etc. fuel cells, flywheel batteries, etc.

Dematerialization & the ESCO model Savings as a virtual source of energy The Green Economy: creates Wealth through savings (or dematerialization) Savings as a source of Investment Challenge of financial design: dealing with first costs

Energy & Spatial Organization Energy & the Landscape Eco-infrastructure: going with nature The Eco-system Model: eco-infill Integrating the Divided Economy Every place a locus of eco-production Buildings as producers not just consumers of energy

The Centrality of the Landscape The industrial age replaced the natural processes of the landscape with the global machine…while regenerative design seeks now to replace the machine with landscape. …John Tillman Lyle

The Ecological Built-Environment Qualitative Development is Place-based Eco-efficiency: tied to spatial design Need to Integrate structures of Invisibility: home & workplace formal & vernacular landscapes

The Post WW II Waste Economy Permanent War Economy The Suburb Economy: Oil / Autos / Subdivisions

The greatest misallocation of resources in human history. …James Howard Kunstler

Key Areas of Green Building Green Building Certification --new construction --retrofit --neighbourhoods Natural Building & eco- community design

Loops in Building

Waste & Building Shearing Layers Deconstruction

Manufacturing & the Ecological Service Economy Subordination to Mission / end-use / need / quality Waste Equals Food Dematerialization of Production and Higher Resource Efficiency Reduction of the Speed of Resource Flow through the Economy Appropriate Scale Regenerative Work is Created New Rules & Closed Loops: LCA and EPR

Cradle-to-Cradle Design of Material Flows

Industrial Ecology & Service Ecosystem model: nature-imitating Industrial ecostructure: Reuse-based Manufacturing entails new levels of producer liability reduces both the flow of resources and their speed through the economy encourages local/regional economies, and facilitates high skill levels

Design Considerations in Production Craft: money and the economy of labour time in a Quality-oriented economy Production and Eco-infrastructure –the production of food, energy and water via natural process

Benign Materials & the Carbohydrate Economy plant matter as the original source of synthetics & plastics –biological revolution & genetic engineering: make possible cheaper & more prolific creation of enzymes. –biochemicals: less toxic & degrade more quickly than petrochemicals. –detergents, paints, dyes, inks, adhesives, fabrics, building materials, etc. zero discharge and industrial clusters –complete use of plant materials –plantations, biorefineries and green cities
