  1. Social Business in Transition Engineering Professor Susan Krumdieck Department of Mechanical Engineering University of Canterbury Advanced Energy and Material Systems Lab

  2. Mechanical Engineering Energy Problem: Energy Solution: Transition Engineering Exemplar: Social Business – From the Ground Up

  3. Energy Poverty Google Image Search: Energy Poverty

  4. Energy Scarcity World Oil Supply Krumdieck, S., S. Page, A. Dantas,Transportation Research Part A: 44 (2010) 306-322

  5. Herculean Efforts to get More Fracking Tar Sands Deep Sea

  6. Mad Rush for Green Energy Palm Oil Rapeseed Oil Photograph: Sean Smith for the Guardian Sugarcane

  7. Food vs Fuel – Corn Ethanol 22.5 gal tank = 270 kg of corn 32 people for 1 year Western Diet 10 people for 1 year 3rd World Diet Seed corn could feed 1000 people for 5 years

  8. Mandated 20% by 2022 10% by 2020

  9. Energy Injustice People already using copious quantities of energy trying to get more Degradation of people’s environment, food, health in far away places where the resources are extracted People using copious quantities of fossil fuels degrading the wellbeing of ALL other people – Now and in the future

  10. Problem Statement: 30% of the people alive today use way too much energy

  11. Transition Engineering 1st Rule of Engineering: Know what problem you are working on Rotuma, Fiji Rotumans use < 20 W We use > 1000 W

  12. Transition EngineeringIs not about how much energy you use

  13. Transition Engineering 3 Future Scenarios and Risk Assessment Forward Operating Environment Present Energy Supply/Demand 2 6 Trigger Events 7 Path-Break Concepts Change Projects 4 5 Back-Casting 1 History Development Timeline

  14. History Transportation Energy

  15. Present Oil Adaptive Capacity

  16. Future Scenario • We can’t fix this with • Biofuels • Electric Cars • Hydrogen • Light Rail • Buses • Internet • Self-Driving Cars WE NEED: 15,000 people housed now Within the urban area Ex-Urban Sprawl

  17. Forward Operating Environment

  18. Path-Break Concept Christchurch City that is affordable, accessible, vibrant, prosperous, educated….. Without Using Oil Google Image: Utopia

  19. Fuel Use 100 Year Transition • Quantitative Analysis • Transportation Energy • Connectivity • Accessibility • Adaptability • Soils, Water, Infrastructure • Markets • Building Stock From the Ground Up Method: Quantitative Multi-Criteria Analysis Soil Stability Property Re-Development Index Age of Buildings

  20. University Village area information New University Village Student Commons New University Village Main Street Trigger: From the Ground Up Re-worked “open” infill neighbourhoods New Riccarton Ave

  21. Diversity, Texture, Amenity High Street Source: Institute for Transportation and Development Policy/ITDP, Jun. 26, 2010

  22. Re-New-All Re-Development Affordable Housing Community Involved Transition Design for 100 Years PassiveHaus Construction Economy of Scale

  23. Transition: Social Business Uses business best practice to solve a problem, rather than provide shareholder dividend From the Ground Up Affordable Housing Sustainable City Public Infrastructure Market & Development 100 Years Design & Construction Public Planning Community Investment Public Services
