IMPLEMENTATION OF COMPREHENSIVE LOW-CARBON DEVELOPMENT MEASURES

- Re-planning Town structure to improve land use - Reduce energy consumption in commercial and residential buildings- Re-structuring transportation system to facilitate tourists and local traveling for fuel economic and introduction of E-vehicle- Enhance energy system (demand side and supply side management)- Enhance waste management system to reduce waste problem- Promote public environment and resources use awareness (Eco Lifestyle)

Conceptual Design of Green Integrating Utility System (GIUS)Mapping Energy Production and ConsumptionWater and Waste Management

Green Integrating Utility System (GIUS)o Green Integrating Utility System (GIUS) is a concept that integrates all utility services, which needed for a community (can be Community Node – CN) within one locationo GIUS should be placed near the communityo GIUS include electricity generation, city water production, waste water treatment and solid waste disposalo District cooling generation system could also be integrated within the GIUS
