RWDI Consulting and Engineers - Wind, Microclimate, Energy and Thermal Comfort What opportunity is there for you?
The vision of Masdar City (the world’s first zero-carbon city to be created before 2020) was shared by the Masdar City team at a September 16, 2009, business-to-business seminar held at MaRS. The seminar attracted nearly 70 cleantech suppliers, green technology leaders, government policy makers and sector funders. This presentation is from RWDI Consulting and Engineers on the opportunities in wind, microclimate, energy and thermal comfort, created for this seminar. This was the vision shared by members of the Masdar City team at a September 16th business-to-business seminar held at MaRS. An attentive audience in Toronto was joined by participants in Edmonton and Vancouver via videoconference, indicating strong interprovincial interest. The seminar - sponsored by the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade, MaRS and the Masdar City team- attracted nearly 70 cleantech suppliers, green technology leaders, government policy makers and sector funders.

Notes de l'éditeur
- 1) We’re not sure that all the undercroft pedestrian access points are PRT stations. Some, like Green-31 and Green-32, are not on the PRT corridor. Unless told otherwise, we will likely assume these can be removed (about 11 towers).
