IBM/Dubuque Smarter Sustainable City Partnership
• Announced Sept. 17, 2009
• IBM’s first “Smart City” in the U.S.
• Goal: Replicable model for cities under 200,000
• Coordinating smart, instrumented technology with active community engagement• Providing residents with information and tools needed to:
• Save Money • Conserve Resources • Improve local economy and environment

Leak Notification
Smarter WaterLessons Learned and OpportunitiesPilot Project
77% improved water usage understanding 61% took specific actions to conserve 48 % reported they plan to make additional changes in
their appliances or in how they use water (or both) 6.6% decrease in utilization 8 fold increase in leak detection/response: What if we apply new knowledge and tools to 23,000
households?
What if 23,000 households had an opportunity to be notified of continuous or intermittent leak?
Smarter WaterLeak Repair Grant
Water Leak Repair Grant Individually metered residential units (including rentals) One grant provided per building if not individually
metered The grant is available one time per 12 months per
service address Leak notification appears on meter or smarter water
portal ▪ Contact by SSD helpdesk by phone or electronically
The amount of reimbursement is 50% of the repair work up to $100 maximum
Smarter Water Opportunities
Currently offering an expanded sign-up for Smarter Water Portal to residents and small businesses
Proving value at “entire community” scale Engagement opportunity for City Smarter Water Portal Provides a tool for:
Increased Understanding and Education on Water Usage
Indentifying High Water Uses Identifying Leaks
Smarter Water Challenges Challenges
Monetizing and identifying water “savings” on a community scale
Defining metrics, reporting, dialoging, taking actions
“Meeting consumers where they are” – keeping them engaged when and how they wish
Meeting Consumers Where They Are
High engagement interest want more data, less direction
Medium engagement interest want more direction, less data
Low interest want better defaults, based on data exceptions and
anomolies

Partnership of City, State (Power Fund) and Alliant Energy.
The goal is to allow volunteer participants to better monitor their electric energy consumption and enable them to make more-informed choices about when to use energy and how much they are using
In spring 2011 Alliant Energy installed new AMI (advanced metering infrastructure) electric meters at nearly 1,000 volunteer Dubuque households and is providing the electricity usage data from those households to the City and IBM for analysis. Hourly meter readings are transferred to IBM once per day
Smarter Electricity Pilot Project
Smarter Electricity Pilot Project Lessons Learned and Opportunities
Usage reduction ranging from 3% to 11%. If extrapolated to community as a whole, annual
savings range from $552,000 to $3,588,000.
68% said it increased their understanding of personal electricity use.
45% said it helped them find specific ways to reduce based upon their individual usage.
Strategies most often used by consumers included shifting to non-peak usage (52%), turning off devices
(44%), decreasing lighting (29%) and decreasing heating/cooling (20%)

Smarter Travel
City, Regional, State, Federal and Private Sector Research Partnership
New technology successfully developed and deployed: - RFID (Radio Frequency Identification Device) - SmartPhone (Transit Planner) Recruitment of over 1,000 volunteers Transit route optimization opportunities Outcomes include policy optimization opportunities
(knowing when, how, where and why citizens are traveling makes that easier and more accurate)
Outcomes include “options in real-time” to citizens (whether they are looking for ways to avoid vehicle miles travelled or just avoid traffic congestion on their route)
Smarter Health and Wellness
Exploring opportunities for Smarter Health and Wellness
Short pilot on obesity engagement and prevention: use existing SSD volunteers and IBM employees demonstrate feasibility, technology and impact design program with larger scale efforts in mind
Smarter Health and Wellness Opportunity for citizen interaction, engagement and impact Dubuque as a “Living Lab”:
Technology + Engagement = Data Expanding access and value:
Data = Decision-making and policy-making
Initial meeting with City health and business leaders positive
Smarter Discards
A prototype platform for tracking and managing individual and aggregated waste (trash and recyclables) disposal activities
City will identify volunteers among its residents to participate in this project
City will identify two waste management routes to participate in this project
IBM will develop software tools for transferring, updating and processing the Data

Community Engagement Platform
o Sustainability requires on-going efforts (it is a process not a product)
o Replicating infrastructure and initiation efforts for each new activity is inefficient
o IBM interested in researching the potential to “automate” sustainability campaigns.
o Searching for a good candidate project in City of Dubuque (small and defined to start)

Opportunity Create a model for citizen and community engagement using technology tools which provide a view oriented approach
DubuqueView
What is it? A web and mobile enabled set of interactive technology tools for the purpose getting accurate and up to date information to people when and how they need it to make the decisions they need to make.
How? By leveraging the City’s investment in data, applications, mobile and social media tools to create an easy to use, integrated and accessible interface for citizens, mayor, council, staff and management.
DubuqueView
DubuqueView Part of an Equitable Engagement Process
DubuqueView is built by the citizens through an engagement process that is participatory, inclusive, deliberative and collaborative
During a disaster and times of critical engagement the public is our eyes
Mechanism to deliver the information which is both high tech and high touch
Rich in content and broad in reach
DubuqueView and “Big Data”
Synthesize and analyze large amounts of data from
unrelated and unstructured
sources

Dubuque View “Where are We?”• Database Design, Data Population and
Applications in Development• ESRI Local Government Data model as a
basis for nearly 300 feature classes and 100 GB of GIS data maintained by the City of Dubuque on a daily basis
• Geocoding Social Media Feeds • “Story-boarding” projects through GIS• Mobile CRM• IBM Community Engagement for Health &
Wellness and Water Expansion
Tools which are readily available on multiple delivery platforms – computer – mobile device – cell phone
Increase citizen impact on City service delivery – easy access to tools for dialogue using social media – chat - blogs
Increase citizen ability to analyze issues with current relevant data
Increasing Citizen access and input by meeting them where they are most comfortable
What does this mean to the citizen?
“I've got the greatest job in the world. There's no other job in government where cause and effect is so tightly coupled where you can make a difference every day in so many different ways and in so many different people's lives. It's a great challenge.”Michael Bloomberg, Philanthropist
and Mayor of New York City
