Forecasting for integrated demands and carbon impacts of a precinct in the ETWW (energy, transport, waste and water) domains will allow for the assessment of policy scenarios for low carbon futures.

Forecasting for integrated demands and carbon impacts of a precinct in the ETWW (energy, transport, waste and water) domains will allow for the assessment of policy scenarios for low carbon futures.

Highlights
Exploring the variations of capital and running costs of alternatives for car buyer.
Developing CI for market shares by categories for fuel or energy efficiency.
Forecasting greenhouse gas emissions performance of the future light vehicle fleet.
Quantifying the influence of size and year of manufacture on vehicle efficiency.
Policy to accelerate the uptake of low or zero emitting vehicles may be required.
Abstract

This is a summary of the workshop presentations, discussions and of the workgroup sessions for the CRCLCL’s project on ETWW conducted Friday 1st February 2013, 10:00 – 16:30 at Room C4-16 at the University of South Australia’s City East Campus, chaired by Liz Ampt.

Impact Pathways represent specific areas of impact that CRCLCL expects to have in transforming the low carbon built environment.  Our projects and activities translate across eight impact pathways, which are linked to our three integrated research programs; Integrated Building Systems, Low Carbon Precincts and Engaged Communities. 

Demand estimation for services and facilities is an important component of urban development, being required for the determination of the level of provision and coverage of infrastructure and related facilities to serve the needs of present and future populations. Demands and associated cabin impacts for the domains of energy, transport, waste and water (ETWW) are significant to planning agencies, infrastructure providers and operators and private developers who all need to deliver services and resources to urban precincts.
