Challenge #1: Water Not Enough
Over two-thirds of the Bay Area’s water supply comes from Sierra Nevada snow pack
Climate Change leads to more extreme rain and snowfall events, droughts, sea level rise
Challenge #2: People

Challenges → Opportunities (Risks)Risk Issue Current Problems
SLR Climate Change
3 ft SLR risk amounts to a $50B risk in Bay Area (270,000 people) and 31 major
businesses in SV.
Flooding Imperviousness Due to channelization and low amount of green (tree) coverage ~80% impervious
Transportation Modes of Transport Results in loss of resources (time, fuel, money) due to extreme congestion
Air/Noise
Pollution
Lack of Green Space
Pollution from 237 and from southward winds from north bay and lack of green
space for filtration.
Extreme Heat Climate Change Estimated 3-6 °F increase by 2100 (400% increase in Extreme Heat Days)
Energy Renewables 100% renewables by 2050 in CA result in new production of renewable energy
Public Appeal Culture & Recreation
Lack of cultural aspects in South Bay results in increased population commuting
from SF.
Overlying Goal

People PlanEnergy & Transportation
Biofuel/Biogas ProductionSunnyvale wastewater plant serves 148,000 people
14,800,000 gallons/day (100 gallons per day per person)
13,000 gallons of biofuel/day→ Enough for 2000 people/day
PV SolarTake a two-pronged strategy to implement utility and commercial rooftop solar PV.
Utility Production:
Lower: 1.25 million sqft available (116,000 sqm)
→ 50 GWh/year → $6 million/year
Upper: 1.3 million sqft available (121,000 sqm)
→ 52 GWh/year → $6.2 million/year
Total (feasibly): 40 GWh/year → $5 million/year
PV SolarTake a two-pronged strategy to implement utility and commercial rooftop solar PV.
Commercial Production:
Policy implementation to require rooftop
solar or green roof on each commercial
structure in Study Area.
NW: 200,000 sqft available (18,600 sqm)
→ 6 GWh/year → $700,000/year
SE: 250,000 sqft available (23,000 sqm)
→ 7.3 GWh/year → $900,000/year
Total (feasibly):
5 GWh/year → $600,000/year
PV SolarAssuming 18 kWh/sqft/year
(commercial space), Study
Area PV production
conservative estimates will
provide enough power for
the entire Intervention Site
(1.25 million sqft) two
times over!
Energy EfficiencyPolicy-based to promote energy
efficiency in buildings, requiring
LEED Gold certification for each
building.
LEED Gold energy savings average
around 25%, which translates to a
total of 8.1 million kWh to 6
million kWh, 2.1 million kWh/year
or $250,000 annually.

TransportationDriving/Parking
Driving accessible through main streets, including access to 237 via Java Dr.
Pull-off/temp parking roundabouts ideal for quick pick-up/drop-off (Uber/Lyft)
Parking provide multipurpose infrastructure as underground parking, green space, and flood detention
Each green parking lot is accessible with underground ramps from each roundabout.

TransportationWalking & Biking
Public car-free zones to encourage pedestrian region.
1.8 million sqft of walkable, bikeable pathways.
Extensive bike share system for easy connection from car/public trans to bike.
TransportationConnections
Bringing employees from major tech companies in surrounding areas.
Bringing residents from south of 237 (Go Team Red!) and east of the East Channel.
