We at Esri are working hard to create the tools that you need to plan, design, 
And build the world of tomorrow. 
Your work is essential and indispensable if we are to plan a sustainable 
future for our communities, our states, our nation, and the planet

We saw something else at the UC this summer…

there is a sense of urgency,

Policy Guide on Planning for Sustainability 
Sustainable Communities Division of APA 
• A place to tackle deep sustainability 
challenges through planning by connecting 
with peers to discuss, organize, and 
collaborate 
• Something is happening here… 
• Only you can do this. 
• You are the Architects of the Future.
Policy Considerations 
Today (its not 2000) 
Standards (Data Models) 
Quantitative Reporting (Verifiable) 
Temporal Integration (3D and 4D) 
Comparable Plans (Compatible) 
Scalable (Community-Global) 
Collaborative (Cloud and Role Based) 
You couldn’t do this in 2000 
Information is now available 
Tools you need are coming out now 
Collaboration is more important, and easier

Sustainability 
APA Policy Guide on Planning for Sustainability 
Sustainability is the capability to equitably meet the vital human needs of the present without 
compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs by preserving and 
protecting the area’s ecosystems and natural resources. 
Creating Our Future
Sustainability as a Policy Problem 
• Compliance with Policy directives (Policy Guide on Planning For Sustainability) 
• Compliance w/Executive Orders (13423, 13514, EISA, and 13653), Sate and Local Guidance 
• General Requirements: 
 30% reduction in energy density by 2015 
 16% reduction in water consumption by 2015 
 Increased use of renewable energy 
 Net zero energy consumption by 2025 
 Design and operate sustainable buildings 
 GHG tracking 
 Develop Environmental Management Systems 
 Supply and Waste Stream analysis 
 Invest in Climate preparedness and resilience

Sustainability from a geographic perspective: 
Geography determines: 
• Energy Requirements 
• Energy Alternatives 
• Effects of Climate Change 
• Requirements for Adaptation 
• Patterns for persistence 
Geography organizes the content and provides 
context for understanding and action
Details: Geography drives energy 
requirements and costs…everywhere… 
Cooling 
Heating 
Lighting 
Water 
Transportation 
80% of facilities energy 
costs are in these areas
Details: Geography drives site 
suitability for alternative energy Geographic information: 
• solar density 
• land ownership 
• ecosystem fragility 
• proximity to grid 
• grid ownership 
Geography helps 
to determine 
site suitability for

…geothermal 
…tidal 
…even green roofs

Building footprint (and the 
GIS) tie them together for 
analysis, budgeting, work

Thermal IR yields 
Vegetative Index and

Sequestration. 
Collectively this equals a 
rapid Carbon Footprint 
assessment.
