ASHRAE

Future City Competition

Mission: To advance the arts and sciences of heating, ventilating, air conditioning and refrigerating to serve humanity and promote a sustainable world.

Shaping Tomorrow’s Built Environment Today

• ASHRAE is a global technical society that provides essential resources for

sustainable design, construction and operation of buildings and their systems. ASHRAE is unique because its membership is drawn from a wide range of disciplines relating to the HVAC&R field. Over 57,000 individuals from more than 130 nations belong to the Society. Among them are students, consulting engineers, mechanical contractors, building owners, and employees of manufacturing companies, educational institutions, research organizations, government or any organization concerned with environmental control.

American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers

DiscoverE and the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ASABE)

How the Agricultural and Biological Engineering Profession relates to Future Cities and ASABE’s special awards Terry A. Howell, Jr. University of Nebraska-Lincoln

What do Agricultural and Biological Engineers (ABE’s) do?

• ABE’s work in a profession that serves others

by providing:

–clean water and air; –abundant, safe food and fiber; and –sustainable soil and energy.

Items for a Future City to consider

• Energy Contexts

– What resources will provide primary energy sources for transportation, energy for homes and businesses, etc.? – What portion of that energy should be renewable, and how will it be harvested, collected, and stored? – What fringe alternatives should we be thinking about for the future? For instance, wind and solar energy were outlandish concepts 100 years ago…

• Food Contexts

– What constitutes a healthy diet, and how are those components going to be made available for a population? – What considerations have been made for food production (growing crops and animals), processing (preserving food for use throughout the year), supply chain (getting food into the city if imported), and waste handling (both in processing but also in homes) – Are there underutilized nutrient sources that could become a major food resource in the future? How would that resource be harvested, refined, and preserved.
