The Disruptive Transition to Intelligent, Secure, Low Carbon, and Climate Adaptive Infrastructure Smart Infrastructure Panel Talk American Australian Leadership Dialogue New York City, NY July 16, 2010 Dr. Larry Smarr Director, California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology Harry E. Gruber Professor, Dept. of Computer Science and Engineering Jacobs School of Engineering, UCSD

The Disruptive Transition to Intelligent, Secure, Low Carbon, and Climate Adaptive Infrastructure The First Wave: –Infrastructure Will Gradually Become Intelligent –Increasing Potential Risk of Cyber-attacks The Second Wave: –From High to Low Carbon Emissions The Third Wave: –Climate Change is Now Occurring on a Time Scale Commensurate With the Lifetime of Infrastructure

Enable Structures & Systems to Self-Monitor, Self- Diagnose, & Self-Correct Throughout Their Life Cycle

Real-Time Monitoring of Building Energy Usage: Toward a Smart Energy Campus

The Downside of Adding Intelligence to Infrastructure is Keeping it Secure

Transition to Low Carbon Infrastructure: Race for Low-Carbon Industries is New Driver "If we stick to a 20 per cent cut, Europe is likely to lose the race to compete in the low-carbon world to countries such as China, Japan or the US - all of which are looking to create a more attractive environment for low-carbon investment, --British, French, and German Climate and Environmental Ministers Previous GoalBy 2020, 20% Cut Below 1990 Levels Source: Sydney Morning News

A Business Plan for Americas Energy Future OUR RECOMMENDATIONS Create an independent national energy strategy board. Invest $16 billion per year in clean energy innovation. Create Centers of Excellence with strong domain expertise. Fund ARPA-E at $1 billion per year. Establish and fund a New Energy Challenge Program to build large-scale pilot projects.

Countries, States, and Cities are Beginning to Conceive of a New Low Carbon Future

A Visionary Low Carbon Infrastructure Plan: Zero Carbon Australia Wind & Concentrating Solar Thermal (CST) Are Major Renewable Energy Sources

The Transition to a Low Carbon Society Requires Rethinking Our Cities Infrastructure

Making University Campuses Living Laboratories for the Greener Future
