We need a sustainability platform Tools for organization, collaboration, policy, data collection, storage, analysis, understanding, deciding, evaluating, acting and tracking in an energy constrained world.
Geography Drives Cooling Requirements And costs for Cooling.
Geography Drives Heating Requirements
Geography drives lighting requirements
Geography Drives Transportation Costs Geography drives: Route selection Optimal Route Weighted costs Territory Analysis Optimization (fuel, time, Cost)
Geography Drives Site Suitability for Alternative Energy Solar Density Combined with land Ownership, fragility, Proximity to Grid, Proximity to market, Helps to determine Suitability.
Geography Drives ROI for Alternative Energy Projects
Geography Drives Site Selection Site suitability Geothemal Alternative Energy Solutions
Geography Drives Our energy consumption, carbon production and sequestration, effects of climate change, and available alternatives.
Energy Consumption Greenhouse Gas Production Greenhouse gas sequestration Adaptation Site selection These are all distribution and abundance issues. We know how to understand and manage these issues: We organize them geographically, we analyze with Geographic Information Systems to gain understanding, decision support, site suitability, planning, and tracking.
Geography Is the Science of Our World Especially good at organizing problems of distribution and abundance: As a Living Whole And How We Are Part of Its Evolution As a system Of Interrelated Systems... Providing a Context for Understanding
The Geographic Approach A Framework for Understanding and Managing Our Earth Data Creating Measuring Organizing Analyzing Modeling Applying Planning Designing Deciding Managing Acting Geographic Knowledge Holistic Comprehensive Systematic Analytic Visual Maps Models Integrating Geographic Knowledge Into How We Behave
Everything, everywhere, everywhen What if: poweplants, sea level, rail GIS Enables You to Integrate Information through geography GIS Energy Manager Carbon Footprint Manager Planning Operations Logistics
This Presentation proposes: Geography is the way to organize data about distribution and abundance of things in space integrated over time. Geographic Information Systems provide tools to manage geographically organized information. You want to Sustainably Manage to save money, maintain capabilities, mitigate or adapt to climate change, and make a difference for your organization. GIS has been applied to every aspect of Global Climate Change except The root causes.
GIS a Platform for Sustainability or GIS: a Sustainability Manager s Toolkit the technology and methods behind the Sustainability Management Information System The point Terry Martin tmartin@esri.com 978 777 4543 x8430

Sustainability Management Information System (an EMS) GIS is a toolset for managing Geographically organized data (for example Carbon) Data model, analysis, visualization, planning, dashboard, site suitability models, reporting, and collaboration.
Geographic Information Systems (uniquely) offer: Scaleable data models, management, and security Standards and quality assurance tools Geospatial query, analysis, understanding, Geospatial knowledge for decision support, Audit and reporting capabilities visualization (in 2D, 3D, and 4D) (note this is a result, not an end in itself it isn t about visualization. It is about management). 4D tracking and temporal analysis site suitability alternatives analysis (modeling), All within a Services Oriented Architecture providing cloud based mapping and analysis for dissemination to regulators and stakeholders. Mobile, desktop, web services, SOA
Sustainability starts with a Carbon Footprint Data Model Data Model Committee Fabric Overlays Other Data Models Sources, Sinks, and meters Imagery Extensible Roadmap CEQA/NEPA/EPA Energy Star Portfolio
Data Assimilation and Acquisition Data Ingestion (web service or file) GeoBase Air Force Portal (USAF) NATCARB, WESTCARB, etc.
Data Collection Data Collection Trimble GeoXT (ArcPad plus GPS) Web service based mobile device Adapx pen and paper based
Really Environmental Accounting Carbon Sequestration Management Street Trees Urban Forests
Analyze: Analysis Energy Consumption/CO2 production by layer :(Lighting, Heating, Cooling, pumping, Servers, Meters, etc.) Carbon sequestration sites by layer: Vegetation types by carbon sequestration rates, carbon injection sites
knowledge understanding Geostatistics Spatial Change over time Proximity Spatial relationships Routes Intermodal alternatives Iterative alternatives analysis 2-Dimensions, 3-Dimensions, 4 Dimensions
Example: Geospatial Carbon Sequestration Vegetation Type area X Carbon Sequestration Rate = total Carbon Sequestration by Type Summarize by base to define volume of Carbon Bubble Independent of method. Analysis

ArcGIS Explorer Free client for ArcGIS Server Allows users to view and interact with geographic information Provides 2D and 3D mapping Analysis using GIS tasks Consumes Web Services ArcWeb Services ArcGIS Server Services Uses Local Data too
Visualization consuming multiple services into a Flash viewer: Flash Application Dashboards (cockpits) For Carbon Managers
One more step to Dashboards
Other Dashboards Support other users E.G. Stimulus Fund tracker on Amazon Cloud green tracker?
Example Planning for Wind Generation Analysis Alternative Energy Sun Intensity Analysis Cascade County, MT Suitability analysis for Solar Collectors Wind Modeling
Site suitability analysis for solar panels Photovoltaic site suitability a Model Builder application disseminated as a web service)
Site suitability analysis wind turbine AF perspective:
Dissemination, reporting, outreach and collaboration
Summary Sustainability as an organizational function or line of business. Geography as an organizing principle: (Data Model (context for data collection, roadmap) GIS = Tools (Sustainability Platform) Situational Awareness/Decision Support (Dashboards and Maps), planning/adaptation. Alternatives Analysis (Model Builder) Technology and expertise exists (GeoBase, GeoFidelis, ArmyMapper, and GeoReadiness) It is just a new mission. A chance to make a difference.
